June 7, 2021

Since many people are getting vaccinated and jumping back into their regular routines, more and more people are excited to go forward with their wedding plans. Whether you’re planning a modified COVID wedding or are just planning for the future, we hope this blog will inspire your future big day!

What is a weed wedding?

Weed weddings are a fun twist on the typical wedding scenario. It’s up to the hosts to decide how they want to infuse their wedding. 

Some people opt for cannabis-themed everything, from bouquets of cannabis flower to weed-only bars with infused beverages. Others like to throw cannabis into the mix without theming the whole event around it. And many others tend to celebrate somewhere in the middle. 

It’s up to you how your weed wedding goes. If there’s weed there, it’s a weed wedding in our book, considering cannabis is not a typical addition to the big day. Get creative with your weed wedding, because there are no rules. 

That is, except for the rules you have to follow. Let’s start with those:

Are weed weddings in Washington legal?

Here’s How to Have an Awesome Weed Wedding in Washington

Before you dive into planning a weed wedding, know the laws. Washington’s cannabis laws prohibit the public use of cannabis. This means you’ll have to host your wedding on private property. 

Of course, you can’t just rent any private venue and assume that it is okay to spark up all over the place. It’s crucial that you familiarize yourself with the rules of the venue and discuss the matter with those in charge. Few things could ruin the big day more than the event getting shut down because your party ignored the “no smoking” policy. 

Additionally, never throw a weed wedding if minors are present. It’s difficult to find solid rules around this topic, but it’s also easy to see why you should avoid it. First, there are firm rules in Washington about where cannabis establishments can operate to prevent minors from entering. There are also many controversial opinions about whether or not it is acceptable for parents to consume marijuana in front of their children. Avoid any legal or personal issues with others by opting out of cannabis use if you plan to have children present at your wedding. 

Fun ideas for your weed wedding

We’ve rounded up some ideas to inspire you as you plan the big day! Just remember to follow all of Washington state’s cannabis laws and verify that each addition is legal. 

Canna-bouquets 

What is a wedding without gorgeous floral arrangements? Whether you’re looking for bouquets to decorate the venue or for a special someone to carry, add some cannabis to the mix. 

Find a florist who works with cannabis or hemp to help arrange gorgeous mixtures of ornamental flowers and cannabis. For example, LovePot delivers seasonal flower bouquets along with smokable cannabis plants across the United States. 

Wedding favors 

Everyone loves a wedding favor and you can really step it up a notch with cannabis gifts. Edibles, pre-rolls, and other goodies can all be given to your guests to go along with the theme. Make note that the edible goodies are for later to prevent guests from getting way too high for way too long. 

Whatever you do, make sure you are giving away the weed goodies and not selling them. Start selling cannabis at your wedding and you may find yourself in trouble with the law. 

And finally, again, NO MINORS!

Canna-bar (or smoke zone)

Infused beverages are a wonderful addition to any weed wedding. You’ll need to do some careful planning, though, to avoid any messes. 

Are your guests going to have access to both cannabis and alcohol so they can choose which vibe they are going for? If so, are you going to ensure guests do not over-consume both and get too crossfaded? 

We recommend low-potency beverages. Weddings aren’t always conducive to drinking in moderation. If your guests are likely to keep coming back to the bar, you don’t want to load them with high amounts of THC only for them to hit peak-high when the wedding is over. 

A good way to navigate this is to use low-THC, high-CBD blends for your infused drinks. Users will still get a buzz, but they’ll be much less likely to get too high. 

You can also set up a designated area for people to smoke, rather than serve infused beverages. 

Provide munchies

As great as your main dish may be, if you’ve got a group of happy people toking up all day, consider offering plenty of munchie-approved snacks. Of course, cheetos on a platter may not be the most elegant option, but there are plenty of stoner-friendly appetizers you can circulate throughout the venue. 

Anything can be munchie approved, but some appetizers do better than others. For example, mac and cheese bites or mini corn dogs may fare better than, say, oysters Rockefeller. But hey, any bite-sized snack will do. Just make sure you keep them coming. 

Must-dos before hosting a weed wedding in Washington

We have access to adult-use recreational cannabis in Washington, which makes throwing a weed wedding possible. But that doesn’t mean you can do anything. Go through this checklist first:

  • Read through the state’s marijuana laws 
  • Establish a plan to get everyone home safe: Know your headcount, know who needs accommodations, and provide plenty of resources. Make sure your guests know places they can lodge nearby, or provide phone numbers of cabs or other transportation that guests can use. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t have people driving home under the influence. 
  • Consider your guests. We already know that minors should not be present at a weed wedding. But is grandma going to throw a fit if people are lighting up left and right? Know your audience and give them fair warning that there will be weed at this wedding. Guests who are against cannabis should not stop you from having your special day, but do consider their reactions and plan accordingly. 
  • Consider using a weed wedding event planner. Check out Love and Marij, a service that connects party hosts with cannabis-friendly event planners, dispensaries, and other important tools for the big day! Cannabis wedding experts will help you navigate the ins and outs of a weed wedding without the stress. 
  • If you’re not using a weed wedding planner, you still must be upfront with the hosting venue about your plans. If they are not weed-friendly, find a new venue or change the plan. No circumstances should include sneaking cannabis into a venue as this can put you and the venue at risk. 

Washington state COVID wedding rules

Another crucial part of planning your weed wedding is to check the state’s COVID rules if you’re getting married any time in the foreseeable future. The state divides its COVID rules by county, so pay close attention and plan accordingly. 

As of June 7, 2021 Seattle, Spokane, and Bellingham are all in Phase 3 of the state’s reopening plan. 

This means indoor weddings and receptions may occur at a maximum capacity of 400 people, or 50% the venue capacity, whichever is less. Six feet of distancing must be maintained between groups. 

Outdoor weddings are permitted with a maximum capacity of 400 people so long as six feet of distancing is maintained between groups. 

Before you plan your wedding, read through the state’s COVID reopening plan and make backup plans in case your county gets moved back a phase. At the time of writing, our friends who shop at our Seattle pot shop, Spokane dispensary, and Bellingham weed store are all at risk of their county moving back to Phase 2 because of case counts.
