Intimate weddings are now the new kind of wedding, and no doubt they are amazing to plan!
You can plan your wedding with your just loved ones around with almost 1/4th of the costs of a gregarious and substantial wedding.
What else? We have some dazzling ideas for hosting an intimate wedding!
However, with amazement and mitigation, comes a different set of responsibilities that needs to be considered. The given lockdowns and scenarios have come up with a set of protocols that needs to be implemented.
There are some checklists as you plan your wedding guest list as well as other wedding plannings that are a must as a prerequisite.
But, don’t worry we have got your back! We have created a checklist that covers all the essential things that need to be considered and you can easily add to your wedding planning management.
Sanitisation
This should be on the top of your checklist as it is the most crucial thing to ensure the safety of your guests.
Sanitisation of the venue before and after the event, providing personal hand sanitisers, sanitising stands at different junctions, and assistance of sanitisation by the management team of the venue; all of these have to be put on top priority.
It ensures you are away from the risk by acting as a guard between you and your guests!
Communicate with Vendors
All your vendors, may it be photographers, caterers, decorators, and others must adhere to the protocols of sanitising everything and following the guidelines. You need to communicate with vendors to avoid any discrepancies or lacking in the work.
Why? Because these vendors would be communicating and interacting with every other person in your wedding. And you cannot take risks at any level in such cases.
Permits and Licenses
Another important task you need to add to your checklist is the permits and licenses. You need to ensure every information while scrutinizing these areas. Approach authorities and management to discuss the number of people, the area required time slots available, and much more.
For suppose, your guest list is not more than 50 people, then you need to take into consideration the banquet or hall, the magnitude of catering, and the corresponding licenses required to conduct an event.
Or, If you are moving to some other place, or your guests are dropping in from a far place, you also need to ensure everyone has permits with them to enter into specific areas.
Assign someone to oversee vendors
For the time you are engaged with your rituals, events, and shenanigans it is good to have a person — a family member or a friend — overseeing the vendors for the proper execution of tasks.
Or, in case they need anything or are expecting some specific details they know whom to contact from a hoi polloi.
Guests List
Since we need to follow certain rules and protocols it is needed that you specifically mention the headcounts that are allowed at the wedding, to avoid more people dropping in.
You also need to ensure the resources required for the safety of each guest, they wear masks all the time and maintain good hygiene for and at the events.
However, we know sometimes in the excitement of the wedding some things might be missed. Still, you make sure everyone’s safe and are taking measures for their own safety.
Temperature Checks
One wise thing you can do to ensure the safety of everyone is to have regular temperature checks at all places of the venue. It is vital that you include this as a task on your checklist and the necessary resources required to conduct the checks at various junctures.
Anyone who shows any kind of fever or symptoms must be taken under adequate measures to ensure everyone’s safety.
And if you have planned a destination wedding, a good piece of advice by WedNicely is to assign a person who takes care of checking temperatures at every event or function.
Also, this person will knock on everyone's rooms every night to ensure and check-up for their good health. This will even convey a good message that you care for them!
Chart out Backup Plans
What if the caterer is running late? What if it unprecedentedly starts pouring for a planned open area? What if the photographer drops his or her gig?
These are some of the worst-case scenarios that could happen, and to avoid the overall functioning of events, it is necessary you have some backup plans.
If the caterer is running late, store some snacks and eatables in the stock. If it starts pouring, an indoor venue is ready to accommodate the guests. Or if the photographer accidentally damages the gigs, you have a spare camera in your bag.
All these things will result in smooth functioning so that you have a sound sleep at night!
