Perks of hosting a small wedding
2018-01-17

Weddings are said to be the biggest party of your life. Which might be why the budget set aside for weddings are usually an exorbitant amount. However, as special and as magical as weddings can be, are extravagant receptions really necessary?

Affordability

With a smaller wedding celebration, your spending amount will be reduced drastically. Even though you might still spend a substantial amount, it will definitely be a whole lot lesser as compared to the usual wedding costs. You will also be able to save a lot on venue and food costs. With the amount you are able to save, you can either use it on other wedding expenses like your outfits, hair and makeup or save it for the future your spouse and you are about to enter into.

More venue options

As mentioned above, not only will you be able to save on costs for venues, but you will also be presented with more options. Venues such as wedding ballrooms are usually the first choice for bigger wedding celebrations. However, if you’re having a smaller celebration, you will be able to look at various other locations that might come at a lower cost.

With more venue options, you can go for one that suits the personality you have as a couple or the theme of you wedding. This will also allow you to have a more unique setting as compared to all the other usual weddings that you have been to.

More personal 

With a smaller-scaled celebration, you will have more opportunity to add your own personal touches to the wedding decor and flow of events.

Another way that makes smaller-scaled celebrations more personal is being able to spend more time with your guests. With lesser guests present, you will be able to spend time with your guests at a more leisurely pace and truly enjoy your time with them.

More enjoyable

Smaller-scaled weddings can also be more enjoyable for your guests. With more priority given to those closest to you and your partner, most of your guests are bound to know of each other.  This can help them re-connect and interact with each other with more ease and comfort. It might also seem more like a huge, fun family gathering rather than a formal event.

However, you choose to celebrate the union of your partner and you is left up to your personal preferences and comfort. Remember that the size or extravagance of your celebration is not as important as the reason behind the celebration and the memories you will be creating.
