Smaller Can Be Better!

There are significant reasons for planning a small wedding. If money is not a problem smaller weddings will give you an opportunity to spend lavishly on a few guests rather than conservatively on many. If money is an issue it gives you the opportunity to spend more on the things you want instead of on several guests. Smaller venues and fewer guests create a more intimate and romantic setting. A short guest list means that you and your new spouse can spend time actually talking to the people who have come to help you celebrate one of the most important days of your life. Weddings may be many things but they are first and foremost celebrations. Inviting the friends and family who are closest you can be much more meaningful and MEMORABLE than the pageantry of a large wedding. It is sad when you hear women say that her Magical day passed in a blur that she can barely remember due to having so many guests that there was no time for her and the groom to enjoy the wedding they spent so much money and time preparing. Remember your wedding is first and foremost YOUR day to enjoy with people who YOU enjoy being with!



Suggested Settings for Small Weddings

One of the first steps in planning a small wedding is determining the guest list. Who do you include? Both of you should come up with a list. Start with your immediate family and closest friends. Then set a limit and begin adding to or narrowing down the list. When you have a number and a budget in mind start compiling a list of venues from internet searches, local magazines, and suggestions from friends and family. You'll probably want to skip the local fire hall, but Inns and Bed & Breakfasts can create wonderful settings. Consider your own home and the homes of family members. Local restaurants that could not accommodate a large reception may be perfectly willing to work with you for a smaller group. Museums, historic houses, and botanical gardens are often available for a reasonable fee. Many resorts and hotels offer special packages. If you are considering a destination wedding do your homework. Ask questions, get the details of your package in writing, and check the venue's reputation thoroughly. Requesting references from any venue is perfectly appropriate. The site may also have photo albums of past weddings. If your first impression of the staff or the place is anything less than dazzling--save yourself some stress and move on to another option.

Choosing to have a small intimate wedding can actually open up more possibilities rather than limit them.

If you are planning a destination wedding be sure to check out your vendor and their references read your contracts to ensure everything you are hearing is in writing! If they can deliver what they are promising you via telephone they will have no difficulty putting it in writing for you.



Happy Planning to you
