When we say small weddings, we’re not trying to push the idea of a budget wedding so that you can save a few bucks. A small wedding simply means a more intimate affair, where you can celebrate your special day with the people who truly matter. So for reasons like these and a few others, here’s why you should consider having a small wedding.
1. With your guests reduced from 500 odd relatives to about 50-100 close kin, you’ll have more time to interact with all of them.
2. You can intentionally forget to invite those annoying relatives who comment on everything you do and don’t.
3. Fewer people means less pressure and you’ll feel more relaxed being yourself with close family and friends.
4. It will seem like one big family celebration, rather than a nerve-wrecking event where you have to keep smiling and posing with distant cousins and never-seen-before aunties.
5. You don’t have to worry about booking popular venues to accommodate your guests, you can rent a farmhouse with a beautiful backyard or a house by the beach, for a more romantic setting.
6. Picking the menu will be simpler because you know your crowd and won’t need to forcibly choose food that suits the general palate.
7. One thing’s for sure, you will save a lot of money in comparison to a large wedding. You can then use that same money to make your small wedding a much fancier affair. You can splurge on decor or a live band or your wedding dress without worrying about the budget.
8. Or better yet, you can use that money to indulge in a luxurious honeymoon.
9. It gives you a chance to express your individuality in everything you do. You can make your own DIY cards, decor and other titbits, which will stand out. This could be the chance to plan the wedding of your dreams!
10. For once it will seem like an occasion that celebrates your relationship and not a big party that pleases your guests.
