How to Have a Safe Wedding in 2021

higherimages • January 12, 2021

As we enter into the new year with vaccine rollouts for COVID-19, spring and summer weddings may see a gradual easing of guest number restrictions. While the rules for the number of guests you can have may change over time, there are still precautions that you should take to minimize the risk of spreading COVID-19 on your special day. 

Risks of Hosting a Pandemic Wedding

  • Large numbers of people close to each other
  • Typically poor ventilation if the event is inside
  • Alcohol consumption, which can lead to less COVID-safe behavior
  • Sharing drinks, food, and other objects
  • People congregating for an extended period

To reduce the risk of spreading the virus during your wedding, these issues must be considered. 

Planning a COVID-Safe Wedding

Keep the guest list small.

Consider an outdoor celebration. 

The best venue during a pandemic is outside, where there is adequate ventilation and a lot of space for social distancing. Additionally, if venues are booked solid, the sky is the limit when you consider hosting your special day outdoors. If you choose to hold your wedding indoors, talk to the owners about ventilation since poor ventilation can increase COVID transmission risk. 

Have a plan for social distancing.

For example, if you plan to have a sit-down meal, be sure to only use every second seat to maintain a proper distance. You can also place markings on the floor to show guests the appropriate distance to stand apart and encourage them to avoid congregating around the restrooms, exits, and bars. 

Incorporate safety into your favor.

Consider providing guests with customized face masks featuring your wedding date, wedding colors, or the bride and groom’s names. You can also provide them with travel-size hand sanitizers with customized labels for fun but practical gifts. 

Remote Wedding DJs for Safe Wedding Celebrations

In addition to following social distancing guidelines and other precautions, you can also consider hiring a remote wedding DJ. Your DJ can stream their music live to your celebration for safe wedding entertainment in Pittsburgh This can help reduce the chances of spreading the virus while still helping you keep the celebration fun and upbeat.
