Covid/social Distancing card with invitation?

Michelle, on June 26, 2020 at 10:20 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 10
Wondering if anyone is putting a social distancing reminder/card in with their invites to remind guests to still practice social distancing?



I am still not sure how we are supposed to greet guests to be honest I really would prefer not to hug or kiss anyone due to me being immune compromised. I am very worried about getting sick. But at the same time what am I going to do if someone comes up to me and gives me a hug / kiss ? Some people just naturally do that.
So many what if’s I hope that everything turns out great for all of us.

    When I send our invites, I will plan to have another card insert about covid-19 and refer to the wedding website for social distancing guidelines. Maybe have the DJ at the wedding reminding of social distancing.

    It is sooo hard even with the reminders some will be so overjoyed and happy to join in on your celebration they might still hug you. i'm not putting a card in my invites as mine were sent out already since I'm doing s destination wedding but we will update the website. But then social distancing is hard what do you do with table seating? not all my guest are big families.

    Oh my gosh, I think that is so clever!
    Way back before things got really crazy (like first weekend of March) I was at an event and had to be the jerk a couple times that was like “no I’m sorry, I am not comfortable shaking hands right now!” ...it was kind of awkward to say to someone but I wasn’t going to risk it. A symbol to say it so that I don’t have to sounds wonderful !

    Yeah, I am thinking of doing this as well. Do you have any idea what you are going to write on the card? My friend was saying she wants everyone invited to get tested for COVID if they want to come to her wedding.. I mean I know this is a little extreme but it is actually very responsible. Not sure how I feel about it but it def does put people at ease knowing people were tested

    I feel the same way, Myself and my mother are both immune compromised so we have to be really careful with this virus... My friend said she thinks every person invited if they want to attend should get a covid test done prior to the wedding.. Although we cant force anyone to get a test done this actually seems very responsible I am surprised its not mandatory for all larger group events? If everyone got a test done before entering a larger gathering then the sickness would not spread if everyone who attended was negative..People have to consider the older people that will be attending as well as the immune compromised. Someone may have it and not even know they do and be spreading it.

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing, Table seating is going to be tough, I am thinking spread the chairs out so people are not on top of eachother and sit close familes with eachother etc.

    That does sound extreme but understandable lol I would expect that a lot of people might not go out of their way to do it though. People can get tested two weeks beforehand and be clear and catch it after though.
