What Are The Benefits Of Small Weddings

By Jim Carpenter

There are many reasons why some couples prefer small weddings over the much larger and elaborate ones. Certainly a large wedding is something that you could end up still be paying for years after the event has taken place.

Although elaborate and expensive have been the fashion for many years now because of all the celebrity ones , smaller weddings are now starting to become fashionable once more. Certainly if you are looking for a wedding that is more personal and intimate this is the ideal one for you.

But although your wedding may be small it does not mean it has to be informal, simple or cheap. Certainly a small wedding will not be as expensive as a large wedding because guest's numbers are much less but you can still make it lavish if you want.

When it comes to a small wedding in fact we are referring to the number of guests that have been invited and will be attending this event. Normally with such weddings the bride and groom will only invite a few very close relatives and friends to celebrate this very important day in their lives.

As the guest numbers for this kind of wedding are much less then the couple getting married can focus more of their energies into those parts of their special day that they feel are the most important, the wedding ceremony for example. Also sometimes because they only invite a limited number of people to the event they are not restricted to having it where they live but can choose to get married somewhere completely different.

More and more people who opt for a small wedding find there are lots of destinations around the world where such an event can take place. Along with the Caribbean, Las Vegas is becoming increasingly popular for a unique location where their wedding can take place. However, if you are after something a little more intimate and romantic then an old castle or mountain lodge may be the perfect setting for your small wedding.

For those who are on a tight budget and travelling is out of the question you can still make a small wedding on limited funds a very special day. Often a major cost of a wedding goes into hiring a room or booking a hotel for their reception, instead why not hold this at a family members home or at the bride and grooms favorite restaurant.

Small weddings can be as simple or as elaborate as the couple getting married want them to be. But what kind of small wedding they choose will depend on how much they are willing to spend on it. What they should remember however is that at the end of the day this is their special event and should be one that they and their guests will enjoy and remember with fondest in the future.
