Keeping Your Wedding Guests Updated During Covid
Keeping Your Wedding Guests Updated During Covid – Our industry expert, Tobey Dodge has been one of Southern California’s leading and most respected wedding professionals for over 20 years has some great tips.
Here are the top tips that Tobey shared with us –
- First and foremost, sit down with your partner and talk about what is important to the two of you. There are so many reschedules going on and no one has the right answer, since weddings are in the fourth phase of reopening.
- Once you and your partner have reached a mutual understanding of what the two of you want to do, then each meet with your family alone and talk about the plan.
- Finally, once you have both shared your wishes with your families separately, then sit down with one another and talk about options.
- Once the two of you have a united front, setup a Zoom call with both of your families together to talk about the next steps.
There are so many different rules in different states and cities that everything is very confusing. Some cities state absolutely no weddings over 15 persons and other cities within the same state might allow 150 guests with dancing. There is a lack of consistency within the same state and it is very frustrating for clients and event professionals.
Your guests and RSVPs –
Some of your guests may decide not to attend due to Covid. We advise our clients that if they can’t attend a wedding to RSVP as soon they know along with a nice note to the couple and add a small gift or send florals as a kind jester. If they are close with the couple, they might consider making a call to let them know that some time after the wedding and the pictures are ready that they would like to take them to dinner and see the wedding photos.
We recommend that guests RSVP as soon as they know that they cannot attend so it helps the couple with planning their wedding and updating guest counts.
