Okay so we decided to go forth with our wedding on November 14,2020 yes our guest will have to wear mask😩, but obvi for a good reason. Bride and groom will not for ceremony (since it’s considered as a religious ceremony) but afterwards we will, and for photos we can take them off but will have to be outdoors.

Any who.. I need some help . My wedding for the ceremony and reception will be in the same facility, but the ceremony floor can fit up to 130 or more ppl but with social distancing and spacing the chairs out to fit comfortably we can only have 70 guest, but can have 110 for the reception. My question is how do I word this on the invitation, or should i just avoid sending reception only invites to 40 ppl and just shoot for only inviting 70? We are 3 months out and I’m prepared to plan 24/7 cause like everything was put on hold with COVID-19 🙄 but I need self hallppp!

Also, if anyone who has had their wedding with having to wear a mask, how we doing this make up thing like did yours smear every where? I’m scared that when it come to time to take it off I’ma have a line mask mark in all my makeup but I guess I could just get the photos out the way 🤔 I wonder if the bridesmaid will still be okay getting their makeup done with having to wear a mask

I think it's fine, given the circumstances, to invite some people to only the reception. If you do that, you would just send those 40 people different invitations than the ones you send to the other 70.

I wasn't even going to get my makeup done because of the mask, but my mom talked me into to it. I know they normally use a setting spray, so I'm hoping that will help keep the makeup on my face and off of my mask.

Glad you're figuring out how to move forward as safely as you can! Same boat.
I'm going to try a makeup trial in August and try crying and masking up and all that to see the damage. If it's terrible, I might just get my eyes done! LOL

There are a few options that wouldn’t be considered rude.
1.) Invite only immediate family and bridal party to the ceremony and then the full guest list to the reception.
2) Cut the guest list to 70 for the entire event.3.) Have your immediate family and bridal party at the ceremony space. Have the remainder of the guest list sit in the reception space and stream the ceremony.

I’d honestly just go with the 70 so you don’t have the extra people confused and show up just to be told they can’t join until the reception starts. Just something to think about. I wouldn’t want that extra stress to worry about. Good luck with everything! Planning a wedding during COVID is hard!

I’d stick with 70 for your sanity.

I'd only invite 70 people and plan on having a big party later for all the people who couldn't come due to these restrictions later. It's a strange time to be planning a wedding, and I completely understand, but I don't think I would want to come for only half of the day's celebration. It's a lot easier to explain, in my opinion, that due to the current pandemic, we have to have a very small wedding (which encompasses both the ceremony and immediate reception), so we will be planning an outdoor party later in the year (or whatever you're thinking).
That is exactly what we're doing for ours, so I really do feel your pain on this!! Good luck ::hugs::
