1. MORE VENUE OPTIONS

With an intimate wedding, you’ll have more venue options to choose from and you’ll be more relaxed during the entire time.

This type of wedding allows you to be more creative with your venue and vendor options. Also you’ll have more flexibility when it comes to space.

 

2. REALLOCATE YOUR BUDGET

Weddings can be very expensive but an intimate wedding allows you to reduce and split your costs. One of the biggest costs when it comes to a wedding is the catering, which is calculated using a headcount of your guests. With fewer guests, you will be able to significantly reduce this cost.

You’ll also need fewer tables, decorations, etc and you’ll spend less on the bar. 

A smaller wedding will allow you to dedicate your budget to the elements that you care about the most. For example, the money you save on catering can be dedicated to other aspects of your budget, such as flowers, music or decorations.

Additionally, you’ll have the chance to pay more attention to details so that you’ll live a truly unforgettable experience.

 

3. YOUR GUESTS

An intimate wedding will give you possibility to enjoy your special day with every single guest of yours. In this way, your guests will feel 100% part of your day. The atmosphere will be warmer and inclusive. Giving your guests a role can help to make the event more memorable and meaningful for everyone.

By inviting the people who really matter to you the most, you’re spending quality time with each one of them. Being able to focus on your nearest and dearest, and, of course, the love of your life. 

 

4. ECO FRIENDLY

Even though weddings are experiences of pure joy, they tend to harm the environment. By planning a smaller wedding, with fewer guests, you can reduce the impact of your big day on the planet. You will also have the chance to have more control over waste management, lights waste etc.

5. LESS STRESS

Planning a big wedding can be overwhelming and requires a lot of work, and the larger your guest list, the more complicated the logistics. An intimate wedding allows you to really be present and enjoy every minute of your wedding.

Coordinating a wedding for 20 people is easier than coordinating one for 100. You’ll find that the reduced number of guests will give you more flexibility in the planning process and more time to focus on the details.

Planning a smaller wedding is typically less stressful and it will give you the possibility to focus on the things that YOU really care about and on your wedding day. 

6. SAFER WEDDING

Given the situation we are experiencing, organizing a smaller event will allow you to have greater safety during your wedding day for you and your guests.

Also, with an intimate wedding there will be less vendors involved.
