Because if planned carefully with all the required safety measures in place, a celebration in these tough times can still be made out to be fun and memorable. So if you’re getting hitched soon, the foremost thing to do is be aware of the rules put in place regarding a wedding and other events during the lockdown and even after to minimize the risks of coronavirus spread.
The advisory in effect has laid down the maximum number of guests for a wedding must be no more than fifty.
Air-conditioned, indoor venues are to be avoided in favor of airy, open venues where contamination can be checked and social distancing rigorously practiced among the celebrants.
The hygiene and sanitization of the venue are of utmost importance. All the areas frequented by people and coming in contact with numerous persons must be periodically sanitized.
You must keep a list of all the attendees with their contacts and ensure that no one from the containment areas is attending. It is essential to monitor your guests by having a thermal scan, putting strict hygiene rules in place and overseeing that they don’t indulge in spitting, sharing food in the same utensils, consumption of liquor and tobacco and similar high-risk activities.
Those traveling for the purpose of attending the social gathering must obtain a pass. Unnecessary travel and in large groups is not to be encouraged.

It’s your day, a new beginning, and you can rejoice and make it every bit special by prioritizing and being responsible for your health and of those around you. Be mindful and have a fab wedding!
