Wedding Temperature Checks

Our venue will have hand sanitizer and I put on our wedding website that masks are not required but they're encouraged and to please not come if they're feeling unwell. I'm not going to worry about temperature checks, that just seems too stressful.

I thought about doing this too, but all of our attendees, including us, will be coming in from out of town. I think the best you can do is ask people to take their temperature at home before coming and limit contact with sick individuals in the two weeks before.

Yes! Though we are proceeding with our 10/10/20 wedding plans, we are cutting our guest list (our choice, not due to restrictions). For all guests who were uninvited for those who cannot attend because of the virus, we will likely send them a "wedding celebration kit" that's maybe an at-home cocktail kit or cake, something like that. That way, they can still celebrate with us!

This seems really extreme just because you'd have to enforce it and that confrontation could be uncomfortable. Plus, there are chronic conditions that raise body temperature due to things completely unrelated to COVID, so then you're putting someone on the spot to explain something they may not ever tell people about, don't want to talk about, find embarrassing, etc. It's a reasonable issue at airports, etc., but a wedding seems excessive.

Temperature checks at the door are unnecessary. I work in healthcare and we don't do them as there is no good evidence for it.

That's something that's up to the venue in accordance with local and state guidelines. I wouldn't put that burden on your own shoulders unless the venue tells you that it's necessary and, for some unforeseen reason, you are responsible.
