How to Tell Your Guests About Your Unplugged Wedding
In case you missed Part 1 in this series on Unplugged Weddings, here’s Five Reasons to Have an Unplugged Wedding.
Now, for How to tell your guests about your Unplugged Wedding. Chances are most of your guests would miss a single announcement. So the key here is letting your guests know more than once that your Wedding will be unplugged.
And here’s how you can do that…
Let Them Know Before the Wedding Day
On your Wedding Day, your guests will be taking in a lot and could very easily miss a detail like this. Let them know beforehand on either your Wedding Invitation or on your Wedding Website.
And hey, it wouldn’t hurt to put it on both of them.
Let Them Know When They Arrive
You let your Guests know beforehand. Check.
Now most people will need a reminder on the day of your Wedding. Letting them know right as they enter the Wedding venue is a nice, gentle reminder of what you’ve already informed them of months earlier. Most couples who plan Unplugged Weddings go the route of putting the announcement on a sign, right at the entrance to the ceremony. That way everyone walks past it as they are being seated for the Ceremony.
Let Them Know at the Beginning of the Ceremony
Now for those people in our lives who don’t read instructions, signs, or anything along those lines and completely missed the Unplugged aspect of your Wedding up to now, one last reminder makes all the difference. You should have your officiant/person who welcomes, announce it as the ceremony starts.
This is also the time to let the guests know what parts of your Wedding will be Unplugged: the full Wedding day, just the ceremony, the ceremony and part of the reception, etc.
