Ideas on how to still make your day special?

We ordered a mini cake from our baker and picked it up the day before. Then we ordered takeout dinner from a local restaurant and picked it up in our wedding outfits to the delight of the owner and his wife. Our photographer still came and photographed us at a distance and we had a mini photo shoot in our backyard. We had a private first dance to 'Lovers in a Dangerous Time' by the Barenaked Ladies and recorded it on video to send out to our family later. We poured ourselves some drinks and facetimed all of our extended family (there is ALOT). Eventually we put on sweatpants, ate cake, and had a zoom chat with our friends. Then went to bed exhausted from smiling and drinking. It was fantastic, special, and super memorable, but to be honest I've been feeling sad because then we just went back to work and moved on with life. I missed the honeymoon part of it all. So it would be fantastic if you could come up with a mini-moon quarantine style.

View quoted message Thank you all for the GREAT ideas! I spoke with my niece who is my photographer (Tylyn Rae Photography check her out!!) She is coming from her town no matter what so I think we will do a walk in a pretty area near our home after our ceremony and do a first dance there and I love the idea of a pillow fort Tori!

For the wedding day: Obviously still dress up, do your hair and makeup, then for after the I do's: maybe stop by your fav. restaurant to pick up food - take some selfies outside the place all dressed up, if it's nice enough maybe you could walk in the park while eating (I would say have a little picnic, but not sure if that's allowed seeing as how it's not allowed to sit on a park bench right now....), and then take it home. When you're at home maybe you could schedule things just like you would have scheduled a first dance, cake cutting, etc. You could still do everything if you want, but I would personally go with a more lowkey kind of thing. Make a pillow fort, get some alcohol, get some games, have a game night!

For a mini-moon, I would say if you are stuck in your house it sure makes it a lot harder than just a regular mini-moon.. but for mine we went to a comedy show, so you would be able to set up one of your nights to make nachos, and then say at 8pm - put it on netflix and pretend you are actually there! You could do the same for a movie night, or if you have a hot tub or a BIG bath tub - you could do a spa day?

You can plan like a paint night or something indoors. maybe make a dinner steak dinner or something you guys love.

Every day can be a romantic moment to have and make differently. Each day choose what you would like to do for each other or surprise your spouse with a take out dinner or strawberry chocolate dessert with wine.

The time now is to make it special with what you both enjoy. Movies, games, fireplace lit, and more moments to be make it special as you two feel.

The simple little things can still be special and romantic. For example, you and your husband can order in dessert and have some wine. Maybe do your first dance in your living room together. Play an old 50's movie together... I think simple little things can be special

I think you can still do some of the things that would make a normal wedding special.

If restaurants are open you could go for a romantic dinner and drinks after at a favorite spot (even if that spot is Wendy's) if you can't dine in maybe take out back home for a candlelight dinner. Or maybe your bakery is able to make you a small version of your cake to share on your wedding night.
Something borrowed from your parents can make you feel closer to them if they can't be there. Maybe a piece of your mom's dress sewn in the hem of yours, or her veil/one of your dad's ties wrapped around your bouquet. I want to repeat some of my parents wedding photos for ours, specifically one of my mom before the ceremony.
I'm still hopeful that we can have our photographer so we can capture the moment to share with our family. If local spots are open I want to get dinner and have a champagne toast to each other, just the two of us.
