Is The Coronavirus Affecting Your Wedding?

UPDATE: The CDC Says Cancel Your Wedding!

Editor’s Note: Please know that the author of this blog does not intend to downplay the severity of the virus nor deny the large impact it has on individuals, businesses, and the world economy.

Oh great! Another article about Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Let me tell you, I’m the first person to admit that I am SO over hearing about the Coronavirus.

True, it has impacted a ton of people in the US and abroad, the economy took a giant hit, and the healthcare industry is scrambling to find a cure.

Long story short, what’s making this virus so scary is:

Healthcare experts haven’t quite figured out how to treat it other than self-quarantining those who present with symptoms
It spreads incredibly quickly. (The WHO has now declared it a pandemic)
It is the year 2020 and we are teaching grown-ups how to wash their hands.

Large events like conventions, trade shows, concerts, and political rallies have already been canceled.

Universities have moved classes to be taught online or canceled them altogether.

And the entire country of Italy is on lockdown because of the Coronavirus.

In the sports world, the NBA, NCAA, and the Masters are now affected as well!

All of these decisions were made to eliminate large crowds from gathering or traveling in confined spaces.

Wait a minute!!

Can anyone here think of another event that typically involves large numbers of people and requires them to travel and gather together?

Anyone?

YOUR WEDDING!!

You’re probably thinking “Well, sh***. What do I do now?”

Betcha money that wasn’t in your wedding planning binder.

But luckily you follow WedTexts’ blogs and know that we have your back in any situation.

From replanning your wedding in two days because of a thousand-year flood to losing a family heirloom on your wedding day, all the way to having your wedding photographer ghost you.

But, no matter what you decide. Your guests need to know how you’re handling the Coronavirus at your wedding.

So, how can you keep your entire wedding guest list up to date on your Coronavirus plans?

Sure, you can just post an update on your wedding website, but guess who will check it to see if your plans changed because of the Coronavirus…
