So you had a covid elopement, but still want a wedding… do you need an officiant?

“Let’s see… we have the snowflake ornaments, the Funko Pop advent calendars, the snowy owl placemats, and the unicorn ornaments in this tub.

Thoughtful covid wedding announcement wording for uninvited guests
I’m the mother of the bride — I want to send out an announcement about my daughter’s wedding, but I want to include a simple statement of why the recipient was not invited due to concerns about covid and social distancing. Can you help me with some wording examples?
