Planning A 100 People Wedding? Here's How You Can Involve Zoom Guests In Your Ceremony!

Are you worried about how to host an intimate wedding without hurting the relatives who didn't make it to your guest-list? Even if you are not someone who believes in the idea of an intimate Zoom wedding and are forced to host one due to the pandemic, you may be constantly thinking about ways to please the extended family who couldn't make way to the previously 50, and now 100 people (from September 21, 2020) wedding guest-list. Well, as always, we're here to keep up the smile on your face and sort out all your wedding related problems. We've found interesting ways to make those extra guests feel important and involved without being physically present for your lockdown wedding. Read on to know more!

Livestream your wedding

Send them an invite for a Zoom call and let all those extra guests view your lockdown wedding in real time. You can take help from your videographer to help you set up your phone camera in the right place so that your virtual guests can enjoy an unhindered view of the 'Zoom' wedding. Take their blessings virtually and stay drama-free! 

Send them a personalised letter

A personalised note goes a long way! Reassure the extended family that you love them and that their virtual presence means a lot to you. Pour all your feelings and tell them how the wedding is incomplete without their physical presence.

Deliver a care package

Your friend or family member will be elated to receive a surprise care package or a wedding favour from you. It will help them feel like they actually attended your wedding. 

Host a virtual DJ party 

Post the wedding ceremony is over, host a virtual celebration. Invite all the guests and make them feel like a part of the shaadi with this virtual DJ party evening. Dedicate a song or two to the people who matter and make them feel like they're right by your side. 

Pay a personal visit

If an elderly family member cannot attend your lockdown wedding due to age or any other illnesses, try to visit them as soon after the wedding and brighten up their day.

Thank them in your speech

If you or your husband are making a thank-you speech during your wedding, give a shoutout to those who were unable to attend your big day and make them feel special. 

Ask them to dress up

Want them to feel like a part of the event? Ask them to dress up as per the theme. If you are having a traditional intimate wedding, ask the virtual guests to dress up traditionally, too. 

Have a photo-booth prop 

Photo-booths are possible virtually, too! Canva lets you customise virtual backgrounds for your Zoom wedding. Either send your guests a picture of the real venue and let them put it up as their Zoom background or ask each guest to pose a certain way to make them feel like they attended the wedding.
