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.

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.
