How to Plan A Special Small Wedding

Small weddings

Small weddings are unique. They are easier to plan for and can be very fun. But that does not mean that it deserves less effort in the planning of your small wedding. If you intend to have one, these six tips from us can put you on the path to having a little celebration that is totally worth it.

● Let Your Imagination Run Wild

The lower the number of guests you have to plan for, the lower your budget. This means that you can explore some unique things that would put couples that have larger weddings in financial pains if they tried it at theirs. Fewer guests also mean fewer opinions to please. It’s a win-win situation for you.

● Cover the Basics

Regardless of your wedding size, it would be best if you had food, music and alcohol present.

Food is the base; alcohol loosens people up, and dancing makes it fun. Start with those basics when planning your evening of celebration.

● Dress Up

No matter how small your wedding is, dress up for it. Wear something special that you’ll look back on and be happy that you did.

● Hire A Photographer

You’ll want to document your wedding no matter the size. Find a photographer that can create a custom package that suits your wedding and hire them.

● Make It Meaningful

Don’t skip the chance to share intimate words of promise, surrounded by those you love. Include sentimental details to give this day personal value to you and your guests.

● Create A Personal Experience for Your Guests

Do not only add personal touches for you but also acknowledge your guests too. Handwritten notes to every guest are a nice touch or hand-painted invitations. You have all the time to do them now. It is much easier to add exceptional touches for your guests when it comes to a small wedding like yours, and they’ll be sure to make the day more meaningful and beautiful.
