I am involved in all kinds and sizes of weddings, but have often commented that the smaller ones are nicer in so many ways. Especially the way the economy is these days, people are cutting back in many areas, including the size of their weddings. It is not necessary a bad thing, and in fact there are many benefits. In this article, I will suggest what some of those are.
One, you will have more choices for the site of your wedding. If you were having a large wedding with many guests, you would find that are some places that simply are not large enough to accommodate that many people. With fewer people, you can consider smaller wedding venues.
Two, you can spend more money on a few things that mean the most to you. If you have to feed two hundred people, the menu might not be as good as if you are only feeding fifty. You could choose the salmon or steak entrée instead of the chicken. Or maybe you want to go out on the dress, the flowers, or gifts for your guests. By having a smaller wedding your wedding a few areas can go a lot further.
Three, you don't have to spend as much money. Just because you could splurge on some things with saved money does not mean you have to. Save the money instead for expenses you will have in your marriage. Or by spending less, just don't go into debt like you might otherwise. It is not good to begin your marriage with debt, especially for something that come and gone - the wedding.
Four, a small wedding makes for a more relaxed wedding day. Most couples I work with do not like being the center of things. It is a bit funny to me that they often seem not to want to be seen or heard at their wedding. I do understand. It is nerve racking. Having fewer guests can not seem as frightening as having a room with hundreds of people.
Five, you are able to spend your wedding day with the people that mean the most to you. I did a wedding with seven guests! Does anyone really have that many close family and friends? I doubt it. When you have a smaller wedding you pare down the invited guests to those people who are closest to you. Spending time with them will be far more enjoyable that doing small talk with people you barely know.
