Fun Excursions for You and Your Guests to Replace Your Destination Welcome Party!

As friends and family get more spread out, destination weddings are becoming more and more popular. But, planning a destination wedding is more than just planning a wedding, it is essentially planning a mini-vacay for all of your guests. Most guests will arrive 1-2 days before the actual event, and you’ll want to make sure that you have some fun activities on the schedule for them so they can make the most out of their getaway while you and your wedding party continue to prep for the big day. Traditionally, destination weddings involve some kind of welcome party where guests from out of town all get together and meet before the rest of the wedding festivities. Instead of a traditional party in a hotel banquet hall or a restaurant, consider a fun excursion for you and your guests. Here are ten unexpected excursions that will keep your guests talking about your wedding for years to come!

8 Stress-Relieving Tasks You Can Do at Home If You’re Wedding Planning During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Total truth time right now: planning a wedding is tough. But when you take that stress, and then amplify it with pressures of a global pandemic, the mood can go from tense, but too-giddy-about-getting-married-to-care to wait, wasn’t there supposed to be light at the end of this overly-traumatic tunnel? Every bride is feeling it, too, no matter where she is in her planning process - be it early in, middle of the road [to the altar], or endgame in progress. 

If you’re just-engaged, you probably don’t have a wedding hanging in the balance and you can wait out hopeful, better days ahead. On the flip-side, though, your post-proposal/engagement might not be close to what or how you always envisioned it would be. Social distancing has a way of doing that … taking away your freedom to share your huge news with your favorite people, in person; prohibiting you from going out to celebrate with your best friends, in the aftermath; limiting you only to whatever planning can happen from home (that’s right, for the most part, venue shopping is put on hold until further notice). 

If you’ve been planning for a while, you may or may not have to make any big decisions over your wedding date, but your pre-wedding events might be compromised (i.e. your bridal shower or bachelorette party might be postponed or outright cancelled).

How to Politely Let Your Guests Know That Your Wedding Date Has Been Changed Due to COVID-19

Beyond waking up to that beautiful piece of sparkling jewelry on your left hand and getting all the feels when you see the 💍 followed by X.Y.Z in your Instagram bio, there’s truly no better reality check that you’re really getting married than when you see your Save the Dates for the first time or start putting those 🍰 stamps on your wedding invitations. It’s a major moment for planning couples, and, unfortunately, one that’s been eclipsed by the devastating impacts of COVID-19. But 2020 brides and grooms are showing tremendous resilience, coolness, and courage during this time, and we couldn’t be any prouder of our industry for showing up in support of these brave soonlyweds. After all, this happily ever after is a team effort, and vendors want to see dream wedding days happen just as much! 

That being said, with so much uncertainty surrounding the virus and it’s trajectory, even couples with late summer and fall weddings are making decisions to postpone their days. No bride wants to cave to the suffocating ‘better safe than sorry’ adage, but a new date is kind of a new lease on life for couples whose dates became/are becoming casualties of coronavirus - so, we’re all here for it! All that needs to happen next is letting guests know that there’s been an official date change, and luckily, considering the extenuating circumstances, there are lots of ways to do it. From phone calls to email correspondence, text messages to real-time wedding website updates, you can let your guests know you’ll be celebrating at a later time without skipping a beat.

How to DIY a Ceremony for Two If Your Wedding Was Affected by COVID-19

Wow, we’re still wondering when we’ll wake up from this horrible nightmare that is 2020. As little as 30 days ago, couples were still saying ‘I Do’ without worrying about coronavirus contingencies - and now, weddings planned for the rest of the year remain a question mark. Whether you’re postponing to a future date [hopefully] untouched by COVID-19 or have decided to cancel the wedding you had planned in favor of a ceremony for just the two of you, remember your love hasn’t been cancelled. Not for a long shot! 

At the end of the day, of course there’s so much to love about a big day full of people  - the more, the merrier, right? But the most special moments are the first look, the exchange of vows, the first kiss once you’re pronounced partners for life, and the first dance after you become husband and wife, husband and husband, or wife and wife: and those looks only require the two of you. That’s why we’re all for carrying on with the same date and throwing a big party to celebrate with your family and friends later on when it’s safe for everyone.

How to Social Distance and Still Have the Best Time With Your Bridal Party

It’s a rough time right now, and with COVID-19 consuming our every thought, action, etc., it’s hard not to let the shiny, happy things in our life lose their luster. Yes, weddings certainly count as one of those. Regardless of whether or not your wedding was slated for 2020, if you have a sparkly new piece of jewelry on THAT finger and someone is calling you fiancé/fiancée, then, at the very least, you’re a bride planning during a pandemic. We’d wager a guess that it’s not exactly how you envisioned the engagement afterglow going when you were growing up. And who would, with something as unprecedented as this happening in the world? 

Of course, our hearts go out to every bride and groom who had/have wedding dates this Spring (and even early Fall, as we still have little to no understanding of what the future holds for this virus). It was Harry, right? Who famously said “When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” It’s true, no one wants to delay the start of forever with their partner, especially when that start is a party that’s been in the works for so long on behalf of a love so big. That said, even if your wedding date isn’t on a collision course with the health crisis, in its current throes, the mere fact that you’re preparing for the best day ever, when things are so clearly on the other end of the spectrum, just straight up sucks. We’re just wishing and hoping and thinking and praying that things turn around ASAP.  

But for the time being, if brides still have their people showing up for them (there’s so much value in the virtual), that 🔥 of excitement, fanfare, and anticipation around the wedding - however up in the air it may be right now - just won’t go out. It might take a little more creativity to make digital fetes a regular thing, but if there’s a [wedding] will, there’s a way. Especially if the way includes lots of wine. When you’re getting your social distancing on, know that we’re here for you: our collection of “I Do” details, gifts, and decor with Michaels can work just 👌 for you and your crew when you’re living your best #stayhomestaysafe lives, but they work even better to bring you all together for the bride/your best girl.  

If you haven’t asked your girls yet…



This is a great time to send your group some mail. Seriously, everyone is at home, starting to climb the walls, so if you can break up the tedium with some surprise & delight, you are a queen. We love the idea of a care package stocked with the below and a notecard that reads something along the lines of “This virus is the worst, but you have always been one of my BEST. Please promise that you’ll stand beside me when this big day finally comes. I need you and love you, and we’ll get through this together!”
