Why on earth would anyone like to throw a smaller wedding? In these days of over-the-top celebrity weddings and spending enough on a wedding ceremony to put you in debt for years to come, you do not hear much about small weddings. But they're making a comeback, specifically for those brides who prefer a more personal, intimate atmosphere. That's why I wanted to share some small wedding tips with you in this post.



First, though, let me clarify several things. A small wedding does not mean an informal wedding, or a simple wedding, or a inexpensive wedding (though obviously, because the guest list is dramatically reduced, there can be significant savings). It simply refers to the size of the guest list. Instead of inviting your best friend's great aunt from Pittsburgh, the guest list and big event are confined to a small circle of close relatives and friends. How small? Frequently as small as only ten to fifteen people.



Beyond sharing the most critical day of your life with a small, intimate group of friends, a small wedding allows you the freedom to focus on those aspects of the wedding which are most important to you and might otherwise have been out of your reach.



For example, a smaller wedding makes a destination wedding far more practical than a large wedding. A destination wedding is strictly as it sounds ... the wedding is held out of town, at a setting that meets the interests of the bride and groom. Las Vegas is a destination wedding. A theme park, such as Disney World, is a destination wedding. There really are few limitations ... a mountain lodge, a beach house, a bed and breakfast, a ski trip, and so on. While the wedding ceremony and guest list are small, a destination wedding becomes much simpler to achieve.



The reception for a small wedding can be held in the intimate, comfortable setting of a family member's home. It could be held at the favorite restaurant of the wedding couple. It can be held out doors at a favorite park, or in the backyard of your best friend. With these more intimate weddings, your options are nearly unlimited.



You also have more leeway in your food options. If this is a significant area for the wedding of your dreams, then catering or dining out at a fine restaurant are more likely to fit within your budget. However, you could equally enjoy a potluck or a buffet or even an afternoon of hors d'ourves. A smaller wedding party allows you the freedom to pursue the wedding you really want for yourself.



The idea behind a smaller wedding is to share your special day with only a few exclusive people. Since the size of the wedding celebration and guests is definitely manageable, small weddings suggestions often allow you to pursue the wedding of your dreams when otherwise it would not be possible. Whether it's a fancy, elegant wedding or a few close friends sharing a common interest, it's your choice. Make your intimate wedding a wedding that you will never forget.
