2022 is expected to have the most weddings in history since 1984. How is covid-19 affecting wedding prep? A condensed answer is to be extra prepared, watch the news, and keep interactive communication with vendors, guests and hopefully, a planner.

Plan Ahead… Way ahead

The most difficult part about weddings now may be finding the right vendors and venues. Vendor and venue availability has changed immensely with fluctuating demand. Some have decreased working hours to very specific times that everyone is basically fighting over now. 

Be flexible

Everything is up in the air, especially when you’re planning so far ahead. The guest list of 100 may turn into 200 or 50 when the date nears. It’s important to consider that when booking your venue. The best case scenario would be to find a venue that can do both or accommodate both indoors and outdoors. The unpredictable times also call for having a solid backup plan that you can switch to at a moment’s notice. 

Budget for health 

Covid showed us how quickly (or slowly) lawmakers change their minds about mandates and guidelines. Pencil in some room for extra costs such as possible testing kits, masks, sanitizer, & other prevention gear. 

No matter where you are in your planning timeline, remember that the goal is to celebrate your love story with loved ones. Don’t let a pandemic get in the way of your special day, but also have your plans in place to mitigate any unexpected curveballs!
