If the wedding industry has taught us anything, it is that tastes will keep on changing. And that’s okay. Couples do not need to have a traditional wedding at all. They can very well have an intimate one and include just close friends and family to their big day.
If you are considering an intimate wedding, there are the top 5 reasons to have one.
Splurge on the Important Things
An intimate wedding does not just mean you do it small. It can also mean that you get to splurge on the important things! For instance, if paying through the nose for 500 guests is not your idea of fun, why not have a destination wedding and splurge with people you love?
An intimate wedding allows you to spend money on the things that are important to you, like beautiful wedding rings to last a lifetime.
Perfect for Low Budgets
Budgeting is important to plan a wedding. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on the wedding, then an intimate one is the perfect answer. You will not be inviting too many people and that can cut down a significant amount of cost.
Many people are deciding to go the intimate wedding route and spend money on their honeymoon or to buy a house.
Customization is Possible
A small wedding lets you really get into it and customize. Many couples go the untraditional route and have their weddings at museums or a favorite pub. You want to do something you and your guests are going to remember and you can do it when the number of guests is kept small.
Less Stress
Couples who choose to have smaller more intimate weddings say that they were less stressed. This is such a wonderful reason. Too many guests require a lot of planning and needless to say, a lot of money to spend. But you don’t have to do it! You can go ahead and have the wedding of your dreams in a way that lets you spend quality time with people who really matter.
Your Wedding photographer can also really focus on you and stake some really great pictures that will make the day memorable.
Doing it Your Own Way
If you are one of those people who like doing their own thing, then an intimate wedding is something you should seriously consider. If keeping your private life private is important to you, then this is the sort of wedding you should have. There is a lot of fun and banter to be enjoyed when it is just the two of you and the people who love and care about you. Whether it is a handful of family members and close friends, send invitations to only those that make you happy.
You will find the process of planning for such a wedding much less stressful for all concerned. Go ahead and do it if that is what you want!
