Wedding Rules

View Quoted Comment Of course 🥰

But it would be very worthwhile you and FH get tested (ideally with immediate family/ wedding party) and share the results with guests bc you two are the most likely to spread as everyone will want to congratulate you and take pictures!

I think it’s a lot to ask your guests to find that. Also, I’m not sure how it is in your area, but where I live, you have to have symptoms or be exposed to someone with Covid to even be able to get tested.

View Quoted Comment Yes that who I would like to get tested and most of the people since it has to be small is close to us but we were going to get tested either way and also again after

Hi Tiffany, I’m going to go against the grain here and we have a few weddings coming up. If the couple asked us to test beforehand, for me, I would be totally cool with it. You’re smart to keep the masks and other precautions in place too. There are special air purifiers out there that clean/circulate the air indoors. It may be worth looking into if you’d like to increase air flow ❤️ Good luck!! 🌺🌸🌿

Anyone seen any fairly reasonable face mask for guest? A little decorative

I would be fine with it as long as you cover the cost of the test. If guests have to pay, then nope...

I don’t think you should ask your guests to share their medical information with you, but I definitely think you can put something out there like “please if you are feeling unwell at all, join us by FaceTiming another guest or sending us a message after. Our priority is to keep everyone safe and healthy while we celebrate”

I think your asking too much from your guests

I think it could be viewed as overstepping , you could also lose some guests not attending jjust bc of this purpose. There are other ways to plan suhc as color-coded wristbands where guests are sorted by wearing different colors signifying: a) social distancing b) willing to talk but no touching c) In need of a hug, thatw ay theres no confusion. I too am trying to plan for a wedding of about 50 or less and its all very strange during times like these.

View Quoted Comment Hi I guess I am also in the minority here agreeing that it doesn’t seem like too much to request from close friends and family. I have read about weddings where they have asked for it and guests just happily take the test in order to be there. I guess it depends on your friends and family.


We have a lot of elderly family, so I am personally debating this too. Since It’s hard to logistically pay for the test for guests, I was considering asking for the test in lieu of any gifts.
Wonder if any other brides here would still feel that is overstepping boundaries? I also polled a few other friends and they have also said that they would gladly take it, (though they felt it would be challenging to enforce or check). Maybe rapid testing being much cheaper and accessible to the general public could also be a solution in the future along with the usual safety precautions.

I don't think it's overstepping. Quite a few states require people to get tested before arriving. Would you really be comfortable having a guest who refused to take a test at your wedding? If your priority is safety and peace of mind, by all means enforce the testing. It is your day after all!

Honestly this is totally something I've been thinking about, my fiancé and I have alot of elders or high risk in our families that we obviously would like to be present but of course do not want to put them at risk. I would say if there's somewhere in your area that does testing for free you could make something cute to go in the invite telling them where they could go to get tested for free.

View Quoted Comment There are a lot of places that do it for free. I just want to keep my kids and grandma safe as possible especially with everything going on

View Quoted Comment Thank you I’m not asking to be nosy but we all know at wedding your drinking and hugging and I would feel so bad if someone got sick at my wedding

View Quoted Comment It’s a hard decision to make my close family is the only ones we are inviting and just asking to make sure that your good before coming

I don't know where you live but where I live, it was basically gone in the summer time....and hopefully, when you get married the majority of the people will have been vaccinated...❤️ Good luck and congratulations

View Quoted Comment Thank you and congratulations to you as well hopefully summer brings on a better way of living

I think you are definitely within your right. I would happily take a test for you. This is an important day, and the virus is deadly. I would ask and I think you’re being completely reasonable. Nothing wrong with protecting yourself and your family. We should normalize this.

View Quoted Comment Thank you this isn’t a common cold I work at a hospital and I’ve seen to much and I can’t put my family though that
