So there is pre-Covid life which I think most of us are really missing right now. And then there is during Covid life, which unfortunately is our current reality. And I’m going to be honest with you, during Covid life is really, really terrible in so many ways - no parties, no get-togethers, limited travel, limited everything including how you plan for your wedding.
Remember this -
Leads to this (usually) -
But in-between we have a whole lot of this -
Wedding planning involves a ton of research, talking to loads of people and spending tons of money. Pre-Covid, you would talk to your friends over dinner for referrals and to make plans, meet with more than a few professionals as you try to hire just the right person for the job, oh and attend wedding shows/open houses.
All of which YOU CAN’T DO RIGHT NOW!!!!
Does this mean that you’re supposed to wing it? Not plan a wedding? Try and figure things out using Google and praying that you are hiring someone with value, integrity and who has just the right stuff?
Or…
You could attend a virtual wedding show. What’s that you say?? You’ve never heard of a virtual wedding show?!?! Let me tell you all about it!!!
A virtual wedding show has so many perks that I don’t know why we didn’t have them pre-Covid!
They are typically free or very low cost to attend.
You don’t have to fight through traffic and pay for parking.
Crowds are non-existent (unless you have 1,000 of your best friends staying at your house).
No back breaking bag full of promotional materials that you took just to get someone to leave you alone.
They are full of curated, professional vendors that are on a schedule so you can pop in and only watch the ones you are interested in.
You can interact with the vendors on a one-to-one basis and ask all the questions, without feeling over-whelmed.
Typically you are still offered a discount or some other perk for signing on.
You can attend in your PJ’s or hanging out by the pool.
No need to get a babysitter, you can watch on mute while the kiddos are in the other room.
Need an excuse to get together with your besties but don’t want to expose them to 3,000 other people? Have a watch party with mimosas!
No masks or social distancing AT ALL!
You’ll still get to meet amazing vendors! You’ll still get to work on planning your wedding! You’ll still get those moments of “OMG, I really am getting married”.
So, you’re hooked and ready to sign on for the next show???
