#1. If a couple is planning to have a small wedding now how should they plan it? 

The wedding function can either be at a private space, house, or any hotel banquets with just 40-50 invitees max. The decor to be used is either artificial flower decor or only fabric decor. The natural flowers might be infected. 

The couple can also go digital. They can get on a video call on Zoom, Google meets, etc. This way they can spend their special day with their closest family and friends. Even though they are miles apart, technology can bring them closer. They can also create a gift registry. This will ensure that their guests have a safe and easy way to get wedding gifts. Since everything is done online, the guests can get wedding gifts easily from the comfort of their own homes. 

#2. If a couple is planning to have a wedding later, how should they plan it? 

They should plan on inviting limited people to the wedding. A small intimate wedding is the way to go. The wedding planning must be done in such a way that the guests’ safety is assured. They must have limited food counters and ensure that adequate social distancing is maintained, especially in the dining area. Also, couples should not plan for destination weddings this year as they can put people at risk.

2. If the event gets canceled 15 days prior to the event date, then the whole of the advance amount will be retained as the vendors would have not taken up other events and the losses will not be borne by them. 

3. According to the current situation, the event dates can be postponed and it will be taken into consideration. The booking made to the vendors for the dates can be changed to the future dates if the situation is under control by the government.
