Out of curiosity, for April/May brides, are you planning to require your guests to wear masks? And what other Covid precautions are you taking?

    Every single person hosting a wedding, no matter how cautious, has to reckon with the fact that it's a possibility. I know it is and so do the guests. I'm not going to lose it if something that could very well happen during a pandemic, happens.

    Our wedding is May 1st, and no masks are required. The entire day is outdoors, with tons of space for social distancing, and luckily many guests are vaccinated already. Masks are completely optional!

    May bride here - Our venue is fire marshal rated for 1,000 people...we are expecting - at most - 100. With less than a 10% occupancy rate, there is ample room to social distance as people are comfortable. While the ceremony and reception are both inside, we are not "requiring" masks, although they will be provided to people if they so choose. Generally, when people are that cautious about Covid, they are already prepared with their own.

    We will have several "sanitizing" stations, as well as anti-microbial soaps in all of the restrooms.

    Many of our guests have already been vaccinated.

    I'm a May bride. Our wedding is outdoors and very small (19 guests). Half have been vaccinated, but in either case, I have provided the entire party with matching formal masks. I don't expect them to wear them much, but they completely go with the color pallet of the wedding. They are not required at the ceremony since I have one row per household. Not required at the tables either, but they are required when speaking to staff or navigating the indoor portions of the property. I've also bought hand sanitizers from Bath & Body Works, put custom stickers on them and will have them at each place setting. Etsy has cute ones. My goal is to keep my family and friends safe.

    My wedding is May 22nd. I am not requiring anyone to wear a mask. Ceremony is indoors, reception is outdoors. Adults can decide how they want to handle this situation. I'm not anyone's boss. Restrictions in my state are loosening quickly and we are one of the least affected states with the virus.

    Reduced our guest list from 200 down to 50.

    All attendees have agreed to follow COVID policies (or watch virtually) when RSVPing.

    Mostly outdoor venue with one area indoors that has sliding doors on 3 out of 4 sides that will remain open the whole time with fans going.

    Masks will be required when seated for the ceremony (tighter space).

    During the reception, masks will be required whenever distancing may not be easy or wanted.

    Serving plated meals and cupcakes to reduce high touch points.

    Individual drinks instead of large refill stations.

    There is a virtual alternative to most activities to include a wide variety of comfort levels and health conditions.

    Hand sanitizers will be placed all around.

    As the host of this gathering, I feel responsible for doing the best I can to ensure everyone has a safe and fun time, as much as possible. Not fearfully, just trying to make wise decisions.

    My venue only requires masks upon entrance, after that my guests are allowed to do what they are comfortable with. Our cocktail hour is indoor/outdoor and our reception is indoor. I have given our guests the option of having a socially distanced table during reception and while seated, it is indicated that guests should send greetings from a distance.

    We had a late May wedding and asked anyone who wasn’t vaccinated to mask. We said in advance that we wouldn’t be checking for proof or anything, but that we expected people to honor that for the safety of all. Turns out only two people weren’t vaccinated, so it really wasn’t a big deal.
