Is a micro wedding right for you?
A new trend
So, what exactly is a micro wedding anyway? A micro wedding is a ceremony and reception with less than 50 total guests. Micro weddings still feature classic wedding traditions, just on a smaller scale and typically a smaller budget. And why are they all the craze? When asked, Indiana Wedding Decorators Event Designer, Taylor Clark, had this to say:
“Micro weddings are all about the details! With fewer guests, you can provide those personal touches they won’t forget. I personally love designing outdoor micro weddings; bistro lights over a long farm table with candles galore, wildflower arrangements, unique glassware, and personalized place cards.”
The idea behind these types of celebrations is to focus what’s important. Important people in your life, the perfect location and space, meaningful spending, and a resourceful use of time. Do all of these sound appealing to you? Good! Then read on!
less is more
Less Money - While you can certainly still rack up a large bill no matter the size of your wedding, micro weddings really help push you in a budget friendly direction. You’ll have less guests to feed, less drinks to provide, and undoubtedly less space to rent. And, with all these savings you can really personalize in other areas. Foil-edged geode name plates, anyone?
Less Hassle - Wedding planning isn’t meant to be one-size-fits-all. For some people, planning a large wedding may seem daunting, and that’s because it can be. Not only do you want the day to be perfect for everyone who attends, you especially want to be able to enjoy that perfect day yourself. Planning this special event on a smaller scale will leave you with fewer odds and ends to stress over.
Less People to Please - You may be thinking, “but how will I narrow down the guest list, and what if I offend someone”? Don’t sweat it! This is your day. All over the web, the most suggested method to curating this exclusive guest list is to only invite people you’ve talked to within the last three months. Crazy? Not so much. Look through your recent text messages and you’ll quickly realize who your nearest and dearest really are.
Of course, as the saying goes, less is more. Throughout the planning process and after the event concludes, you’ll be left with more time to relax and enjoy, more money to put towards other important endeavors, more cherished memories, and more meaningful relationships with those closest to you.
