Wedding with masks!

We are making it optional and adding it to their Welcome Bags.
The state mandates both in / outdoors but they are not being sticklers with weddings.
1/2 my guests are all family and the other 1/2 all work together.

My venue sent out a notice saying that they are spacing all tablws 6 ft apart for the foreseeable future. I think that's nice for the guests that may feel uncomfortable to be able to comfortably sit at their table even if others decide not to wear masks.


I went to a bridal shower where people wore masks on and off and we still had a blast. We had masks on when opening gifts and close together because a very high risk family member came. When we ate or went into small groups (outside), we took the masks off. It didn't affect the event at all. I think the key was that we wore masks because we wanted to, so that the at-risk guest felt comfortable, and then took them off when we were around people who were comfortable with no masks.

We put masks and hand sanitizer in boxes on each table. Everyone was seated by household, so we got smaller tables since there were only 2-3 people at each table. We spaced out the tables as much as possible. I wanted everyone to wear masks unless they were seated at their tables, but that didn't really happen. People kept eating and drinking while they walked around and took the masks off to do that and eventually I got over it. The most vulnerable people pretty much stayed seated most of the time anyway. I decided that when looking back at this, I'd rather have the people in the pictures be wearing masks than have them be dead because I didn't make them wear masks. We had a lot of photos taken of us without masks, but everyone wore them for group pictures. Nothing is normal right now, but the masks didn't make it weird and it certainly wasn't any less fun because of them.

I’m getting married on the Catholic Church and they are requiring mask. My venue is not requiring them because they installed the UV lighting in the HVAC system which is supposed to kill the virus. I went on Etsy and had customs masks made for myself and groom and the whole
wedding party. I then had masks custom made for each guest at the church because I don’t want people wearing all different types of masks in my photos. I’ll be putting the guest masks and programs in a bag for them to receive when they enter the wedding.

November 14,2020 bride in Texas. Our wedding count 100 reduced from 130 nbd, but our venue is requesting that we wear mask all of our guest will need to once they step foot into the venue except for when eating and drinking. Myself and fh will not have to for the ceremony only but will have to put them on afterwards. It sucks but at this point I’m tired of not knowing the what if’s and we decided to keep moving with our date. My bridal party has mask they match their dresses and I’ll personalize them with their name. Along with giving out mask for our guest. There are some vendors I wanted for our wedding but my venue is not allowing it which is a bummer along while being spaced out at table. Dance floor is still open just have to wear a mask. I’m praying for the best now with schools opening back up

I would not go to a social event where I had to wear a mask, but your mileage may vary.

Our venue is not requiring masks and our area has a mask mandate but they've been lax about it. We put on our websites a note encouraging all our guest to take whatever precautions make them the most comfortable. We also are most likely moving our reception completely outdoors to allow more space for guests
