Every couple wants to cut costs where they can, after all, weddings are expensive. However, the new micro-wedding trend is catching on and is allowing so much more lead way to the wedding budget. Think of a micro-wedding as a beautiful cross between an elopement and a big, traditional wedding.
You and your partner may have joked about eloping, but if you know you can’t bring yourselves to buck all tradition, then the microwedding might be perfect for you. These celebrations are intimate to the extreme, with barely a dozen guests on the list, but still feature those time-honored fixings that make a wedding, well, a “wedding.” It’s festive, beautiful, and full of love, but the tiny scale also means you will be able splurge on extras while still keeping some savings in the bank.
With fewer guests comes less work, fewer opinions and people to please, less budget required, and more options in terms of spaces to celebrate. You can rent out cafés, restaurants, bars, parks, galleries, or really anywhere you’d never consider for a big wedding. A major bonus of microweddings is that you’re not limited by the travel-plans of 300 guests. There are exciting and unique places around the world––that are perfect for intimate weddings. From beaches to mountain-tops, let your imagination run!
Another benefit to a smaller guest list is the ability to splurge on higher quality details that a couple might not have otherwise been able to afford. Having a smaller wedding means couples can be more creative, eliminating some of the traditional expectations and expenses, while focusing on the “fun stuff.” After all, you only get one, and you want to make it as special as you possibly can.
With fewer guests, you can afford to splurge on that ’90s cover band you love so much or be able to spring for the plated three-course dinner. Whatever kind of wedding fantasies you may have can become more of a real possibility when you have fewer guests on your list. It’s much easier to add those really special touches for 12 people than it is for 200! And since you’ve gone through the trouble of narrowing your guest list down so far, you’re guaranteed to have a super-close connection to every guest, making those little touches all the more meaningful. While a microwedding can definitely save you money, many couples are turning it into a macro experience.
Even though it’s your big day, making your guests feel special is an important part of the experience. Between choosing a great venue, awesome food menu, and stellar bar options, your guests are sure to have an incredible time. Why not take it just one step further and gift them an impressive favor? When you’re looking for an idea for a wedding favor that isn’t boring, consider the gift of alcohol! It’s pretty much the one thing you can guarantee that everyone will like. This is also a great way to introduce your pals to local distilleries and breweries, so think about trying something crafted in or around your neighbourhood.
