It’s a special and magical day for people, and the only way to keep those feelings intact is to make sure that people stay present. Couples want their guests to bask in all that they have to offer on that day. That’s why the no-phone policy is trending.
Without the distraction of their phone and/or camera, your guests will be free to immerse themselves in the experience that you’ve spent months planning. They will be more likely to listen to and remember your ceremony better, engage and react to your heart-felt speeches and cheer you on for your first dance rather than experience it through a viewfinder or small screen.
Talk with your photographer about sharing a ‘sneak peak’ of a handful of photos a few days after the wedding on social media to satisfy everyone’s appetite until the rest are ready.
In case you should decide to host an unplugged wedding, you will want to notify your guests of your decision. A great way to do so is by relaying a message among your wedding invitations. Or, present a lovely sign at the entrance of your ceremony.
In advance, congratulations to both of you on your big step towards a shared future!
