With all of the changes happening right now, there’s a lot of disappointment over not being able to have the event that was originally planned. It is heartbreaking, especially with all of the thought and preparation that has gone into the planning and arrangements.

Even though this might not be your first choice in the type of event you were planning, you could consider a smaller event for now, and then a larger event when there are fewer restrictions. One way to accommodate that would be to host a smaller Backyard Soiree. With fewer people and being outdoors, there aren’t as many restrictions (depending on where you live) and having an intimate affair will give you an opportunity to spend more time with your guests.

Planning a smaller event including theme, menu and décor might just take your mind off having to cancel or postpone the original event. Be sure to review the recommendations in your area as far as number of guests, social distancing and other safety measures.
