Hello my wedding is in August this year and I'm very excited for our wedding, I just got news that the last of my wedding guests received their second dose or have them scheduled!

Hello my wedding is in August this year and I'm very excited for our wedding, I just got news that the last of my wedding guests received their second dose or have them scheduled! My wedding is 25 people, including myself and my groom and my pastor. Our ceremony will be on the beach and a reception will be in a rental house on the beach with no staffing. Our guests consist of parents, siblings, grandparents, a couple aunts and uncles and 4 of our closest friends.


Should I put a request to wear no masks on our website and say that everyone has been vaccinated or scheduled?


I really don't ever want to be reminded of covid-19 when I look back on these photos I'm investing well over $1,000 for.


To be clear I'm not making it an absolute requirement to not wear masks, but would I be out of line for letting people know everyone else is vaccinated and requesting them to not wear one?

    Why? Rude things don't become less rude because they involve fewer people.

    Hi there!

    I would personally be careful requesting that. Some people may care less and prefer not to wear a mask. However, be mindful that some people are very sensitive to this subject and may feel more comfortable wearing a mask even though they are fully vaccinated. As someone suggested already maybe have your photographer mention something when taking pictures... something along the lines of "for those who feel comfortable please take masks off for pictures" I bet more people would be willing to do that for pictures. At the end of the day its your decision! Do whatever makes you happy. Even if that means asking for no masks.

    Good luck to you in in whatever you decide!

    1. Scheduled is not the same as has had a vaccination. No until weeks after the vaccine itself.
    2. If and when you know that thinkevery person is vaccinated should you say anything.
    3. No matter what, it is rude to ask people not to wear masks. You do not dictate dress to Guests. No matter what you spent on photographs.
