A Helpful Guide When Throwing A Smaller Wedding

If you're like many people, you've probably imagined your wedding day countless times over. Having an extravagant wedding can be expensive today, though. If you're looking to scale down this special day with success, you'll want to consider this guide. 

Keep Your Budget Small

Since you're having a smaller wedding, your budget needs to reflect this downsize. This way, you don't end up spending a fortune and turning your dream wedding into a nightmare financial scenario.

There are many ways you can create a smaller budget. You could, for example, select a wedding date that's out of the busy season. You'll have added negotiating power with the venue manager and can thus get a better rate. As far as the food, you can serve a combination of appetizers instead of an expensive full-course meal. For the attire, think about renting a wedding dress as opposed to buying one. You'll probably only wear this attire for one day, after all.

Choose an Intimate Venue 

When you don't have to account for hundreds of wedding guests, you have more leeway as far as where the wedding can be held. You can choose a more intimate venue that makes this special day even better. 

Ideally, you should select a place that has significance to both you and your partner. A chapel ceremony venue, for example, may provide the perfect backdrop based on you and your partner's religious beliefs. Having the wedding at home may be special because of all the good memories you created there. Just make sure the venue is large enough to support all of your guests. 

Spoil the Guests 

These smaller events give you a great opportunity to really spoil your guests, even more so than large scale weddings. There are many ways you can enhance their experience, such as giving them personalized favors. Whether it's a wine glass or shot glass, these gifts show guests that you took the extra time to think about them.

Your guests' hotel arrangements are also important to think about. You could book hotel rooms in a group so that guests have the chance to stay near the wedding party and also save a lot of money. Welcoming guests to the wedding with gift bags is also a great way to kick things off.

Even though small weddings often don't receive as much attention as large-scale operations, they are equally important. Make sure your intimidate day goes smoothly for everyone involved by making the necessary preparations and thinking about what type of experience you want to create.
