There are a lot of different options when it comes to the size of your wedding. Some people prefer to invite hundreds of people, while others want it to be smaller and more intimate. In this blog, we’re going to be going over some considerations to take into account if you’re planning on having a small wedding.

Choosing a Small Wedding

If you’re thinking about choosing a smaller wedding, you may be wondering what things you should consider. Below are some pros and cons to take into account if you’re not going to be having a large wedding.

Before we get started, it’s important to remember that “small” can mean a lot of different things to different couples. For some, “small” may mean 10 people, while it may mean 50 or 75 for others. Consider thinking about the optimal amount of guests and if that will be conducive to your space and how you want your overall day to feel.

Pros

Having a small wedding is an intimate option that can allow you to connect with each of your guests. 

 

For many couples, choosing a smaller wedding makes things easier. It’s less thank you notes to write, less invitations to send out, and less people to need to coordinate with. This is also a benefit if you have a smaller budget, as reducing your guest list can be a good way to make sure that you don’t need to compromise in other areas.

 

Now that we’ve gone over some of the reasons why you should consider a small wedding, let’s touch on some of the reasons why this may not be the right option for every couple.

Cons

One of the biggest reasons why many people don’t choose a small wedding is that you have to be very selective with your guest list. This can lead to hurt feelings and people feeling excluded, so this is something important to take into account.

 

Another “con” is that you may have limited options for your venue. While you certainly could go with a larger venue, it may feel empty and you may be paying for space that you don’t need. With that being said, there are lots of smaller venues that you can consider which are beautiful and could make your big day magical.
