Conronavirus | Top 5 Things You Can Still Plan For Your Wedding

Coronavirus has certainly thrown us all into uncertain times, especially if you were in the middle of planning your wedding for 2020.  We know how difficult it is to postpone your special day, but, it doesn't have to mean the end of wedding planning!

We’ve got 5 suggestions for things you can do to plan your wedding even if you’re isolated!

• Start auditing where you're at! Use this time to define and refine your style of the wedding?  Pinterest is a wonderful tool to use for inspiration and creating boards.
⁠
• If you don’t have a checklist now is a good time to write one.⁠ It's a great opportunity to check what you ticked off and what do you have left to do?
⁠
• Do you need to send out "Change the Date' cards to your guests? Now you have time on your hands, you could always design some yourself?

• If you haven't already, create and send a playlist to your DJ or Band.

• Arrange your seating arrangement! If you have an idea of guests attending your wedding day, this is an opportunity to play around with the seating plan.

Finally, do try and stay calm, your wedding day will still happen, albeit a little later than planned.  But none the less it will happen and when it does it will be worth the wait!
