Invite Intimacy and Simplicity:Keep it Small

Invite Intimacy and Simplicity

A Few Reasons to Keep Your Wedding Small:

• You get to celebrate one of the biggest days of your life surrounded by people who love you.

• You will be more relaxed on your wedding day. Because you’ll be surrounded by friends and family, you’ll feel more at home with your guests. Your wedding will feel more like a celebration when you share it with your closest family and friends, than a production.

• You get to spend time with all of your guests. When the guest list is small, the bride and groom can spend more personal time with each of their guests, making them feel special.

• You can make your guest feel relaxed and welcome because you will be able to spend some special time with you as well as other guests that they may know.

• You can get your guests involved. A small wedding will give you the opportunity to get your loved ones involved in your special day. Maybe someone makes your favorite dinner rolls, asking them to make them for your special day won’t feel like much of an imposition when they are making them for a smaller guest list. Also, it’s much easier pulling off a Do-IT-Yourself wedding with a guest list under 50, than an over the top event.

Beautiful setting for intimate wedding

• Your freedom to customize your wedding to fit your personal style is limitless. A small wedding gives you the opportunity as creative as you wish and make your special day a reflection of the two of you.

• You have a wider selection when choosing a venue. Because you won’t need a large space to accommodate your guests, many small wedding venues will be options for you. Smaller venue options mean more creative venue options like bed and breakfasts and restaurants, museums or art galleries.

• You can save money. You can save thousands of dollars by having an intimate wedding, making it easier to stay within your wedding budget.

• You can splurge. Creating a small guest list can allow couples to out all the stops and have a truly lavish wedding. You get more ‘wow’ for less wallet with a small wedding. When you have fewer guests, you can splurge on the things that really matter to you. For example you may want a truly lavish gourmet dinner; others may desire a live band or a couture wedding gown.

• You can have a wedding that people will remember. Because your wedding won’t be typical – the kind your guests have been to over and over again – your wedding is more likely to be remembered.
