Dealing with the outcomes of planning during the pandemic!
The Ultimate Checklist to help you navigate through these tough times. Let’s get through this together.
- Don’t let this stress you out
- Take time to seek out options
- Make the right decisions / Pick a new date if possible. If not in 2020 in 2021 or 2022!
- Reach out to your Wedding Planner, if you don’t have one— reach out to your vendors immediately
- Review your contracts / proposals carefully
- Even if there is a “no refunds” policy / this is new to all of us and Planners + Vendors are working diligently with our brides to offer refunds during this difficult time
- Postpone if you can. Postponing over canceling will help out everyone involved. Most small businesses, will most likely… not be able to survive without you.
- Make sure to have a back up plan! We are uncertain of when this will all end. To be safe move your March, April, and May Weddings—- to mid June, July or August.
- Update your Wedding Website
- Keep up with the News / stay in touch with your vendors
“Social distancing” is a new phrase we all have been hearing lately. To Wedding and Event Planners it’s like “nails on a chalkboard.” —- { What do you mean! This is our livelihood, to plan + coordinate huge Weddings, Events and Private Parties. }
This whole thing, is not only putting a strain on us and our industry, but it effects… each and every one of us. As of now, 80 million jobs are at risk. More than $190,000 dollars have been lost due to the cancellation of weddings. Pleaseeee, we can not stress this enough, “do your best if you can, to reschedule and not cancel.”
This is a true crisis in The Wedding World and we all need to support one another. Our Brides are devastated, lives have been lost and human beings are at risk. We are all apart of this.
Let’s do our part —stay healthy and be safe. Take social distancing seriously. Let’s not infect each other. The CDC just announced that you can only have, no more than 10 people at one gathering for the next 15 days. The US has now put 3 states on lockdown.
Industry experts are seeing a huge influx in Fall + Winter Weddings. We want you to know you are not alone. Many brides are feeling like their Dream Days have been taken away from them. Let’s not get discouraged, stressing out doesn’t help anything. Things will get better it’s only inevitable. We can not control what the future holds but we can control our emotional state. Let’s try to stay positive, have a hopeful mindset and focus on self-care. The Ciao Bella Babes are here for you during this difficult time. Please reach out to us if you need professional advice or anything at all.
