Is destination wedding a good idea during this pandemic!

There’s a lot to thought process going into planning your big day, more so when the conditions are so unprecedented. For couples now, even finding where to start their planning from is a challenging task. While many are postponing their plans, some couples don’t have the scope to do so. The reasons can be plenty. So, if you really have to organize your event, what is the best way to do it?

If you have the team of Holydelights, one of the top event organisers in Kolkata, working for your big day, be assured to get the work done as seamlessly as you had wished for. But, the challenges can be greater when you not just planned for a wedding but a destination wedding to celebrate your nuptial bond.

The truth is, whether you’re planning a wedding at home or somewhere far, there are countless moving parts surrounding the pandemic and as the situation is volatile, what it means for your wedding, really depends on your wedding date, location, guest count, and extent of travel involved.

Weddings in 2020 look very different and there is no guarantee that it would turn back to normal anytime soon.

To help you prepare for the destination wedding, there are a number of factors to consider for. And, the foremost thing is, be flexible with your plan.

Destination wedding involves travel consultants and wedding planners, and before you finalize the plan, get a close discussion with them. The overall advice is to be prepared, follow the news on your destination closely and maintain an open conversation with your wedding planner.

There has been a shift of attitude in people and increasingly people are becoming more aware of their actions and responsibilities. The same practice should be maintained while planning events. This is an ideal time to plan for green weddings, which involves a sustainable planning. Ditch the printed cards instead go for e-invites. There will be limited number of guests in general and this can be a new practice for the future events as well.

Air travel is not possible at the moment – for price and safety. So, even though you have planned for places that needed air travel, change the destination to somewhere that can be traversed on car. The vehicle must be entirely sanitized before and after the event and destination wedding planners will help you with it. As the traveling expense gets down, you can use it for the proper sanitization and safety precautions.

The demand for cloth masks are getting higher and you can have a budget for gifting your guests some designer cloth masks. The entire event has to be under the wrap of sanitization and distancing (we feel the irony!) but that is what can help you get a successful destination wedding.
