What it isInvite wordingSignboardSpecial cases

What is an unplugged ceremony?

A ceremony where guests are requested to keep phones away and let the photographer handle memories. It reduces distractions and improves photos (no screens in frame).

Invite wording (soft → firm)

Soft

  • “We’d love for you to be fully present—please keep phones away during the ceremony.”
  • “Unplugged moment: let’s celebrate without screens for a little while.”

Clear

  • “Ceremony is unplugged. Please don’t take photos/videos—our photographer will share the album.”
  • “Kindly keep phones on silent and away until the ceremony ends.”

Firm (only if needed)

  • “Please avoid photos/videos during the ceremony. Thank you for respecting our request.”

Signboard text (short)

  • “Unplugged Ceremony — Please put phones away”
  • “No photos/videos during ceremony — Thank you”
  • “Be here now. We’ll share photos soon.”

Handling elders / special cases

  1. Ask one family member to gently remind (not the couple).
  2. Allow 1 quick photo moment before ceremony starts if your family expects it.
  3. If someone insists, give a compromise: “After varmala / after pheras” dedicated 2 minutes.

Quick takeaways

Key takeaways

  • Soft tone + clear boundary = best results.
  • Add a signboard near entry + a short announcement before start.
  • Have a ‘designated helper’ handle reminders, not you.
