Exclusive “Unplugged” Wedding Day Plans

Rethinking Wedding Cell Phone Etiquette

No matter the event, people will want to bring cell phones to it. But that doesn’t mean you have to accept them as inevitable uninvited guests.Think about what you would like during your wedding ceremony and day.

Etiquette-wise, guests should defer to your requests, but keep in mind: You can’t control every variable, and part of what makes a wedding fun is often unexpected. Which is a way of saying; “Some guests may not comply, all you can do is make the request by being clear about your desire for an “unplugged” wedding. When you are clear about your device policy and guest can be clear as well.

Ideas For Planning Accordingly

In your wedding invitation announce that your wedding day will be an “unplugged” event. No cell phones. The sooner you tell them the better. Guest rarely like to be surprised. Here are a few different way of saying it.

1. “We’re turning our cell phones off and having some fun.”
2. “We’ll be dancing the night away without our cell phones.”
3. “We wish to remind you to please turn off your cell phone ringer and refrain from using your cell phone during the wedding ceremony. Thank you!”

Before the wedding ceremony, you can have the best man or your wedding officiate make a quick announcement. A light toned statement, saying something like: “We welcome each one of you here today. The bride and groom are requesting your full attention, be here with us. Kindly consider “unplugging” for this event.”
