Making Granny Feel Included

Chelsea, on April 23, 2021 at 10:02 AM Posted in Planning 0 2

Hi everyone!

My 94yo grandmother won't be able to make it to our wedding in June due to COVID restrictions. We still very much want her to feel like she is part of the special day! I plan on have the florist send her a wrist corsage like the mothers are wearing and having a nurse take her picture to include with our day-of photos.

Has anyone set up a livestream of the wedding for a family member in the nursing home? I know I need to talk with nurses about specifics, but I have an iPad I can take over and get her setup with Lovestream.

Just looking for anyone to share ways they've helped those far apart still feel included!

    We tested out Lovecast!!!!! It is the best, EASIEST , wedding streaming app ever! If grandma or someone there has a phone all they have to do is click on your link in your text and it opens right up to the live stream video of you. You can also do zoom, so you can see her too but sometimes zoom gets complicated as she would need to have a Camera set up for her etc.


    Definitely check out Lovecast

    My grandmother is also 94 but she has severe dementia at this point. It is heartbreaking but I have accepted that she will either be there in person (next February) or not be involved. She used to host and help with a lot of church parties and events, including many weddings, so I will be able to borrow and include items of hers in our ceremony and reception instead.



    I AM planning on streaming the wedding, specifically for family that are overseas in New Zealand. I think 2pm Eastern time USA will be 8am NZ time. Unsure of what platform I will use but I have heard Lovecast is the easiest and simplest to use so that is the one I am looking into first. I don't know much about LoveStream.
