Covid 19 letter with invitation

Nancy, on June 18, 2020 at 12:49 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 13

Anyone including a letter with their invitation specifying what Covid precautions are being taken? Also to let the guests know we understand if they are uncomfortable attending?

    I don't think you need to specify to guests about knowing it's ok if they aren't comfortable coming - they would decline if they weren't. the gesture is nice though. if you have a website, those things would be best expressed there.

    I would put that on your website if you have one. I put the list of precautions my venue is taking and any "rules" that they need to know. Along with that if someone doesn't feel comfortable attending that we understand.

    I was thinking about adding something into the invitation but I haven't thought toouxh on it yet. We are meeting with our venue on Saturday to see what can and cannot happen.

    I would just add something to your wedding website. I don't think a letter is necessary. That's extra paper and postage.

    I ordered an invitation insert because I know people suck at looking at the website. I went into more detail on the website. If you want an example of mine, message me!

    Yes - we are doing this. We’re having an intimate wedding so we want them to know that much, etc.

    I'd put all of that information on your wedding website! You could also include an insert with your invitation directing your guest to your website for social distancing details and updates!

    That also allows you a lot more flexibility to change and update guest information!

    I’m interested in seeing an example of an insert. I’m struggling with wording. What a time to be getting married this is.

    We're going to do some sort of insert as well. We're just going to DIY it instead of spending extra money to have it printed along with our invitation suite.

    I think an insert should go as a separate page or half page with your invitations. Many people never look at websites, or look early and not again. Any info people need to answer an invitation should be with it. Not printed on it, but with it.

    No need to match, it is strictly a FYI.

    Thank you all for the input. We decided to include a letter with the invitations as we do t have a website. For those looking for wording examples, here you go:

    Dear family and friends,
    After much thought, we have decided to move forward with our wedding plans for rel="nofollow" 8/28/20. Given that uncertainty remains amid the Covid 19 pandemic, we wanted to give you information so that you can make the best decision for you when deciding whether or not to attend.


    The venue is a restaurant and they are following all of the guidelines of the state and CDC. For example, 50% capacity and employees will be wearing face masks. The guest list is limited to family and a handful of our closest friends. (we will actually be under the 50% capacity.)

    The venue has a beautiful outdoor patio which is where the ceremony, cocktail hour, and Partying/ dancing will take place. (Weather permitting)

    We understand that this is a personal decision and above all else we want you to feel safe. We hope you will be able to join us. However, we completely understand, should you decide that you won’t feel safe with this type of interaction.
