For the Ceremony or the Reception
A Tiny Wedding Provides Flexibility
Though the average wedding today
has 150 guests and costs thousands upon thousands of dollars, if you are able
to keep your wedding small you will find there are a lot of special advantages.
For example:
A tiny wedding can be held almost anywhere. If your heart is
set on flying over the Grand
Canyon, hiking to a summit or
scuba diving as you say your vows, it can be done.
"Receptions" can be intimate parties rather than huge affairs.
How many people were at the last wedding
you went to? If it was anything like the
average American wedding, there were so many people that the couple had next to
no time to speak to their guests, much less enjoy them. In addition, there were probably a handful of
people that neither the bride nor the groom recognized. Now there’s the reason The Wedding Crashers is so funny—it could easily be true! If you keep the wedding small you get to
spend quality time on your wedding day with the people who really matter to
you.
You can have your event in so many cool places. Think
of how many places you can have a party for 500. Now 200. 100. 50. 25. 10. Now,
can't you think of expotentially more places as the number goes down? A major benefit to the
tiny wedding.
You won't be stuck with "reception food." Catered
food tends to be mediocre and overpriced. For a tiny wedding you can simply
call in a big carry out order to your favorite restaurant. And if Aunt Nancy
wants to cater for you, food for 12 is a way smaller responsibility than food
for 100.
The event is more flexible. You have always hated the bouquet and garter toss. If you have
200 people, there will be dissapointment if no one gets a chance to snag your bouquet and watch you get embarrassed as the garter is removed. If you have 20, no one
will care.
