Due to the hard hit economy many couples are opting to throw small, but intimate weddings as opposed to the usual huge – everyone's invited – weddings. Trimming down the invoice list will help you save money, but more importantly will give you the opportunity to splurge on something special that you otherwise would not have been able to. If you and your finance have decided that an intimate cozy wedding is for you then read on, we've got everything outlined for what you need to know to throw a small but exceptional wedding.
Even though you list list may be smaller, keep in mind that the guests you do invite are going to feel extra special for receiving an invitation. This gives you the opportunity to go the extra mile for you attendants, whereas with a huge wedding you would not be able to. For examples instead of giving them a few chocolate truffles considering getting them each their own box of candy. Or maybe offer everyone a champagne toast; with a small wedding the ideas are endless.
Many couples mistakenly believe that because the wedding is smaller that the planning will be simpler. This unfortunately is not the case at all. We'll be the first to warn you that when you are putting together a small wedding it's important to pay attention to every detail. There's no hiding anything between a huge crowd of 180 people, every single detail will be noticeable in a small wedding. We suggest biting the bullet and firing a wedding planner. This will make everything easier in the end.
It's even more important in smaller sized weddings to keep the excitement alive. Usually receptions either one of two ways: first, less people make it easier for everyone to get up and dance or two, less people will mean absolutely no one will get up and dance. Make it a priority to hire a DJ or band that will keep your guests on their toes all night long.
Sometimes when a bride and groom plan a small wedding, it's usually because they want a destination ceremony. Choosing to do this for you nuptials can cut down your number of guests, sometimes even by half! But do keep in mind that the ones who do come are probably going to make a vacation out of the stay. So pick a place that has several sites and activities. Here are some suggestions: Hawaii, Aruba, Grand Cayman, Paris, Italy, Mexico or Cabo San Lucas. It's also a good idea to work with a local hotel to provide discounted hotel rates for attendants of your wedding.
There are several wonderful reasons why couples should throw a small wedding, but one of the best is the discomfort that is created. Sometimes people can get carried away with the wedding planning and make it more about the show, while all along their forgetting the most important thing: it's about the love between two people. So do not worry about how big the guest list is, you're going to have a beautiful wedding no matter what.
