What Essentials Do You Need For A Wedding During A Pandemic

For this edition of Garter Girl Loves we're sharing some essentials for getting married during the time of the Covid-19 pandemic wedding. Important items to remember for your guests and great options sourced from Etsy for your pandemic wedding.

1. Communicate With Your Guests

Before and during your wedding, be sure to communicate with your guests. Provide change of date cards mailed to your guests if your wedding has been postponed. Encourage safety and social distancing at your wedding with wedding signs that remind your guests that we're still in a pandemic.

The magic of weddings is not lost, so have fun with cute wedding signage that acknowledges the pandemic and embraces the love.

2. Establish Safety Measures with Masks, Sanitizer and Wrist Bands

Even a pandemic can create new wedding trends! We love this one - wrist bands for wedding guests to signify their level of comfort interacting between guests.  Choose three different color wristbands to offer guests and coordinating signage to explain each level from celebrating at a distance to comfortable with hugs.

We're all wearing masks to keep us all safe. Embrace this new, necessary, fashion accessory by offering guests custom face masks in your wedding colors! Create a welcome station for guests to grab a face mask and some hand sanitizer custom branded for your wedding.
