Now we are all spending all the time at home due to the COVID-19 crisis. I bet you and your love are enjoying lots of quality time together, gaming, Netflix and other stuff, you can still keep getting ready for your wedding. But what can you do from home? Here are some points.
Get Organized
Most of you probably have felt like organizing a wedding is a part-time job at some point, and we feel you. With the extra time at home, it might be the perfect time to take a step back and get everything organized! Create a spreadsheet of all your vendors and their contact information, determine what your goals are, make a checklist—whatever will help keep you on-track, now is the time to put those systems in place.
It's high time to create a plan of your wedding and organize it marking each point and deciding what to do there.
Find out if you are fitting the timeline you have and if not, change something you need.

Write Letters To Your Guests

Practice Your First Dance
You and your partner may already be practicing all the latest Tik Tok dances—and if you’re not, we highly recommend it. Now is also the perfect time to practice your first dance together! Turn on that song and dance in your kitchen. Not only will it help you prepare for the big day, but it’s a super sweet little activity to do together.
Practice your first dance at home or even any other dances you like much.
Make A Reception Playlist
If you’re already dancing in the kitchen, why not just make it a full on party! Start a playlist on Apple Music or Spotify with your favorite songs to dance to. Your DJ will likely also ask you for a list of songs you don’t want to play at the wedding, so it’s helpful to add those to a list, as well!
Create your wedding song playlist and make song request cards for wedding guests.
