Most people dream of having a lavish wedding surrounded by their family and friends. This includes your extended family and old friends you don’t even talk to anymore. However, a big wedding like this can be a very expensive affair. If you can afford it, then you shouldn’t mind. But, if you can’t afford to invite everyone, you can still plan a small but memorable wedding on a tight budget.
The only difficult part of planning a small wedding is that you have to decide who to invite to your wedding. You don’t have to invite your entire extended family or friends from school that you barely talk to. You should consider inviting only your immediate family and others close to you. You and your partner can invite the same number of people.
The good thing about a small wedding is, of course, the budget. The fewer people you invite, the less money you will spend. It’s also easier to add a more personal touch to a small wedding. You can make your guests feel more welcome by personalizing wedding favors with their names or placing name tags on their tables.
Having a small wedding also gives you the opportunity to bring all the important people in your life together. You can plan the seating arrangements so that you can easily mingle and talk with people you know. This way they even want to meet other people too. You can also ask any of your family members or best friends to participate in your wedding. For example, you can ask one of your friends to sing at your wedding, instead of hiring a professional wedding singer. This will make your special day more memorable.
Last but not least, you might also consider giving your guests party favors that they won’t forget. Remember, quality wedding favors don’t have to be expensive. These days, you can easily find cheap personalized wedding gifts. If you want to leave a good impression on your guests, you must give them something special. They will be honored to be a part of your special day. And of course, your wedding will be the event they will never forget.
So you see, it is not difficult at all to plan a small wedding ceremony. A small wedding can be more intimate and personal, as well as inexpensive.
