Today, we wanted to share 3 social distancing tips for your wedding week so that you can still enjoy, celebrate, and dance the way you were wanting to with your closest friends and family – even when you are far apart. Here are our tips to making community feel close even in the quarantine:
-
Utilize Live-Streaming For Your Wedding!
However you end up doing it, have someone record for your ceremony for those at home. This allows friends and family to celebrate with you, even while they may be far away. You may also be able to include those who would not have been able to originally come due to distance.
-
Get one of these 19 best cameras for live streaming for any budget on a tripod and learn how to set up the livestream or Set up a Facebook group for your day and use it to livestream!
-
Prior to the day, send our an email, Facebook group message, or invitation to let the guests know the link for the livestream
-
Invite guests to dress up and take photos of themselves to post online and/or in your Facebook group, using your wedding hashtag
-
Invite guests to comment throughout the wedding so that you can see who was there and what scripture passages or moments they were most moved by
