This is your artwork! I’m more than happy to accommodate any ideas, people, or things you wish to include!
Another way to include people who couldn’t be present, is just to tell me about them. Tell me about how they were able to contribute- Did they call in on Zoom? Did they make a special decoration for the event? Did their wife steal pocketful’s of sugar-coated almonds and coffee beans to take home to the groomsman who was in home quarantine after being a close contact to a covid case two days before the wedding MICHAEL??
I believe including these kinds of quirks can be a much better way of telling the story of your event.
