Weddings are a time to celebrate and be happy— but you can’t do that if you’re constantly fretting about your guests (and yourself) getting COVID-19.

To help you and your guests stay safe on your special day, our staff at Istanbul Plaza Hotel has put together a list of tips for hosting a COVID-safe wedding and reception.

• Smaller Is Better
  As COVID-19 can be easily transmitted by close contact with carriers or infected individuals, it’s best to limit the number of guests you invite to your wedding. The smaller the group, the lesser your chances of getting sick.
• Consider Open-Air or Outdoor Venues
  Research shows that COVID-19 transmission risk is 18-times higher in indoor/closed venues than in outdoor and open-air settings. Contact our Hotel in Jijiga, Ethiopia today to inquire about open-air Conference and Function Rooms for your wedding and reception.
• Keep the Festivities Short
  Although it can be tempting to celebrate late into the night, the less time you and your guests spend with likely carriers reduces your risk of getting the COVID-19 infection.
• Plan for Physical Distancing
  If you’re planning to have a sit-down meal at your reception, make sure that your guests follow proper physical distancing to keep everyone safe. During the planning process, instead of sitting 10 people at one table, you can maybe sit 4 or 5 to reduce their risk of getting the COVID-19 infection.
• Make Sure Everyone Is Informed
  Inform all your guests about the safety guidelines you’ve established for your wedding and reception. You can include these guidelines in the invitation you send them or through a personal message or post on social media.
