Unconventional times call for unconventional measures; adaption is key in the coming months because the basis of marriage is an ultimate union with your significant other. This season has taught us that those who desire to be together will still do so by any means necessary.
Here’s a helpful guide on how to plan the perfect Zoom wedding:
Prepare Detailed E-Invitations
If you are using an online invitation system like Paperless Posts then be sure to include all the details that your guests will need to attend the event. Decide very early on all the details you require for the invitation like the date, time, Zoom link and dress code.
Have a Short Guest List
A Zoom wedding will inevitably be intimate. Only your dearest family and friends will make time to watch your wedding ceremony on a screen knowing fully they cannot be there to physically celebrate with you. Make sure you have a password to avoid internet trolls crashing your wedding.
Plan Your Ceremony Decoration
Your Zoom wedding will probably be in your family house or a small venue hired for the occasion. Wherever you choose, ensure to make the effort to decorate just as though it was a regular wedding ceremony. You still want to experience the ambience associated with getting married on a beautiful day.
Bake Your Cake
Take advantage of not having to order a huge wedding cake and use a family baker. You and your significant other may even choose to have some fun and bond over baking your own wedding cake! It doesn’t have to be triple-tiered but big enough to share amongst those present at the ceremony.
Arrange Gourmet Takeaway
Now is not the time to throw away the wedding menu! Make your guests feel special by delivering them a special dose of gourmet takeaway.
Intimate Photos
There is no wedding ceremony without any photo memorabilia. Capturing the couple’s first kiss, the walk down the aisle and certain moments are a must to all weddings. Hire a photographer for the day, just as you would for a normal wedding.
Plan a Short Ceremony
An ideal time for a Zoom wedding should be 30-45 minutes in order to share just enough special moments with your guests. You do not want to rub it in that they can’t be with you any longer than this!
Send Gift Favors
Alongside your specially curated gourmet takeaway menu, plan to send special gift favours to all your invited guests. One or two nice items should do the trick!
Good luck with planning your Zoom wedding!
