Dos or Donts of Virtual

Dj Tanner, on January 31, 2021 at 11:40 AM Posted in Planning 0 7
This is sort of a follow-up question to my last post, but is there anyone that’s doing virtual with some of their guests?

If so, do you plan on just having virtual for just the ceremony, or throughout the whole day, or just during certain moments like cake cutting or first dance etc.? Some of the courses will be entertaining to see when they come out the way they’re presented, but I also don’t know if people will actually care about that if they’re not eating it. But at the same time I feel like certain people like my fiancé’s grandmother/grandfather would want to see it.

Should I try to see if there’s a way my caterers can do some sort of delivery dinner service for my MOH her hubby n her current child? Or is that overboard?
I have another meeting coming up in a few weeks with my event planner, but I just want to get some input or ideas or a general opinion from others first.

    We’re just streaming the ceremony, but thats because we’re having our reception later when everything has cleared up enough to have everyone we want.

    Your idea is great about having food delivered to her & her family. My only concern about that is how would the others who are streaming feel knowing she gets food delivered & they don’t?

    Well the grandparents and 2 aunts live out of state so I don’t really know how to even begin with that as far as finding a delivery service for them.
    Then we have one couple that does live here but they will more than likely have to attend virtually because he’s on an ankle bracelet, pfft🙄. (He’s not a bad person or anything he was just going through a really rough time in life, parents died months a part, he made a bad mistake he drank and drove, got busted.) he’s better now but still on the bracelet. so I guess I could offer them delivery too but I don’t think they’d even be aware of my MOH getting delivery or eating. I figured they could prob just do the virtual ceremony? Ugh Idk haha

    Since it's not that many people doing virtual, I'd just ask them what they want. I honestly wouldn't want to just watch a reception though. Like....you're just sitting there watching people have fun and eat and drink and mingle. People may chat with those attending virtually for a but, but chances are that, after about 10 minutes, people will forget about those on the iPad so no one will be paying any attention to them.

    I agree with this. It could seem odd to others

    My cousin streamed his ceremony only. As a virtual guest, that was enough for me. I probably wouldn't have tuned into the reception activities anyway.

    Thanks for the input. Yeah, I think just streaming the ceremony would be ideal for the others. My MOH plans on attending virtually the entire time. She still wants to give her speech and watch everything etc so I think I will just leave her on virtually the entire time and look into a delivery service through my caterer for her, her hubby and current kiddo. She can always just turn her camera off while she’s eating, and I doubt anyone that’s attending my wedding will ask what she’s eating or care.
    But I think you’re right as far as just doing virtual ceremony only for everyone.
    All of the other logistics that I’d have to work out as far as delivery service for everyone is just way too much to even think about right now.
