How to ask guests to be tested??

This was the wording for the most recent wedding I attended: "We respectfully require that guests take a rapid Covid test within 48 hours prior to the wedding. Please email a photo of your Covid test result to XXXXX within 24 hours in advance of the wedding."

I wouldn't worry about offending anyone. This is the new normal now and we're all used to it. If anything, it's fantastic that you're taking the extra step to help keep your guests safe!

We're asking everyone to be vaccinated on our invites and website ("we kindly ask that all guests are fully vaccinated against Covid-19") and we know the (very small) handful of individuals who are not vaccinated - we will be requiring them to take rapid tests that morning. But we're asking them individually to do so because it is so few people. We're also asking all guests, regardless of vaccination status, that have to travel via airplane to take a test as well.

We're toying with the idea of having everyone test before entering our venue (and supplying the tests ourselves) but logistically (and financially) we haven't quite figured that out.

We're putting the above verbiage on the details card of our invitation and it is already on the front page of our website. Of the 100 people we're inviting there's about 7 who aren't vaccinated, and we plan on just talking to them individually. At this point, I think people are used to Covid protocols and asking everyone to test to be safe isn't being rude or pushy at all! In fact - I might steal your idea and just ask everyone to test that morning regardless!!

I like Hannah's verbage. If you are in the US, households can order free tests through the postal service. It takes under 2 months to receive, and you can order up to 3x (so far): https://special.usps.com/testkits. Perhaps you can add the link to your wedding website so your guests can plan.

Anyone who is bothered by it, won't go! As long as that's something you're okay with, any of the wording above sounds great! I wouldn't even waste the energy being worried about offending, you can't help the way people feel about COVID/testing/etc
