Make Hand Sanitizer Readily Available

This goes without saying but be sure to have hand sanitizer available and easily accessible in as many places as possible. In addition to larger bottles displayed throughout the ceremony and reception spaces, you can also offer small individual bottles to each guest. Now, although you can customize your hand sanitizer bottles with fun sayings or your names, I don’t suggest giving hand sanitizer as a wedding favor. They have their place, but let’s be honest, they’re not necessarily fun wedding favors. Give guests whatever other favor you had originally planned, and offer the individual bottles as an extra little token, either in a gift bag (if you’re doing one) or by setting up a cute display with them on their way in.

Place Ceremony Chairs Further Apart

When you have fewer guests, you also have a lot more flexibility with layout. So have fun with different ideas based on your guest list. You can either create a layout where different families or groups from the same household sit together or simply space all chairs out evenly 6 ft apart – the latter is a better choice if you love symmetry.

Have Everyone Mask Up

I know I lost some people on this one, but this is so important. Masks aren’t pretty, and they aren’t festive, we can all agree on that. But not only are they necessary to protect your loved ones and guests, but they’re also currently a federal mandate. To avoid a sea of different colors and designs, you can provide masks to your guests in the color of your preference and make them easily available as soon as they come in (they can always be placed on the same table as those handy hand sanitizers).
