How to Social Distance and Still Have the Best Time With Your Bridal Party

It’s a rough time right now, and with COVID-19 consuming our every thought, action, etc., it’s hard not to let the shiny, happy things in our life lose their luster. Yes, weddings certainly count as one of those. Regardless of whether or not your wedding was slated for 2020, if you have a sparkly new piece of jewelry on THAT finger and someone is calling you fiancé/fiancée, then, at the very least, you’re a bride planning during a pandemic. We’d wager a guess that it’s not exactly how you envisioned the engagement afterglow going when you were growing up. And who would, with something as unprecedented as this happening in the world? 

Of course, our hearts go out to every bride and groom who had/have wedding dates this Spring (and even early Fall, as we still have little to no understanding of what the future holds for this virus). It was Harry, right? Who famously said “When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” It’s true, no one wants to delay the start of forever with their partner, especially when that start is a party that’s been in the works for so long on behalf of a love so big. That said, even if your wedding date isn’t on a collision course with the health crisis, in its current throes, the mere fact that you’re preparing for the best day ever, when things are so clearly on the other end of the spectrum, just straight up sucks. We’re just wishing and hoping and thinking and praying that things turn around ASAP.  

But for the time being, if brides still have their people showing up for them (there’s so much value in the virtual), that 🔥 of excitement, fanfare, and anticipation around the wedding – however up in the air it may be right now – just won’t go out. It might take a little more creativity to make digital fetes a regular thing, but if there’s a [wedding] will, there’s a way. Especially if the way includes lots of wine. When you’re getting your social distancing on, know that we’re here for you: our collection of “I Do” details, gifts, and decor with Michaels can work just 👌 for you and your crew when you’re living your best #stayhomestaysafe lives, but they work even better to bring you all together for the bride/your best girl.  

If you haven’t asked your girls yet…

This is a great time to send your group some mail. Seriously, everyone is at home, starting to climb the walls, so if you can break up the tedium with some surprise & delight, you are a queen. We love the idea of a care package stocked with the below and a notecard that reads something along the lines of “This virus is the worst, but you have always been one of my BEST. Please promise that you’ll stand beside me when this big day finally comes. I need you and love you, and we’ll get through this together!”
