MSN recently ran an article stating why small weddings rock. Here are some of the highlights.
You can have your dream wedding. Designer dress. Jaw-dropping location. Stunning flowers. Amazing band. Yep, even on a modest budget, a Hollywood-style wedding is possible when you keep the numbers down. The less you have to spend feeding throngs of people, the more you can splurge on the things that matter to you.
You’ll have more fun. The post-ceremony party is just that “” a party. But when you have a ton of guests, it can start to feel more like an obligation. “With hundreds of people there, women start to feel like they need to host, and forget to have a good time,” explains Goldberg. “In fact, at 75% of the large weddings, the bride walks into the reception hall, turns to me, and says, “˜I can’t wait for this to be over.'” Keeping it intimate enables you to relax and focus on your happiness as a couple.
Other reasons include:
It’s all about you.
