When you got engaged in 2019 or a couple of months ago, you probably did not think you would find yourself planning a virtual wedding. If there is anything this pandemic has taught us (besides religious hand washing!), it is the power of technology and how it can connect us.  While this micro wedding may be different from the celebration you had initially envisioned, there are plenty of ways to make this day memorable, magical, and a celebration of you and your significant other’s love. Below are some ideas on how you can still make your dream Desi wedding come to life virtually. Happy virtual wedding planning!

• Design a virtual backdrop or change the background to one of your favorite places as a couple

• Host a virtual sangeet: Ask your family and friends to coordinate and learn dances to perform over video. Consider surprising your guests with a fun dance you and your partner learned. It never hurts to find a dance choreographer to help with the process!

• Hire a DJ and host a virtual reception: Have your family & friends dress up and get ready for a night of dancing! You can even start the night with your first dance! Check out this Indian couple’s virtual Sangeet covered by WedMeGood.

• Consider having food or cake delivered to family/friends who live nearby, so you can all eat together

• Create your signature drink and send the recipe to guests ahead of the wedding, so they can re-create it and toast to you as Here Comes the Guide suggested
