Imagine this:

You walk into your wedding venue on the eve of your big day. You can’t wait to see the love of your life beaming at you in a few short moments. 

Out of the corner of your eye, you catch a glimpse of your closest family and friends, overjoyed to be there with tears in their eyes.

The only thing you feel is overwhelming excitement. No stress. No anxiety. You aren’t worried about anything. You are surrounded by only love. 

There is nothing to hold back. Love reigns and you and your soon-to-be spouse are at the center of it all. 

This experience is precisely why you should have a small wedding! Small and tiny weddings put intimacy, beauty, and most importantly, YOU and your soon-to-be spouse at the center of the entire day. 

It’s safe to say, small and tiny weddings are in!

COVID-19 has caused more and more couples to have small weddings to keep themselves and their guests safe. But, small and tiny weddings have been around since the beginning of time and continue to gain popularity.

If you’re on the fence about what kind of wedding you want, here are 5 reasons why you should have a small wedding. 

1. You’re Less Likely To Get Wedding Day Amnesia

We all know a couple that doesn’t remember where they got married, who was there, or what kind of cake they had on their wedding day. Wedding day amnesia is real. 

As the years go by, the details of your big day can get fuzzy. Small and tiny weddings free you to soak up every single moment of the day. 

When you’re able to focus solely on your love and your closest loved ones, you’re more likely to remember the intimate details of your wedding throughout the years. 

You won’t be too busy trying to please hundreds of guests and can focus on pleasing yourself and your soon-to-be spouse.

Small weddings center on you. And, that’s the way it should be. 

2. You Can Be Totally Vulnerable 

 

With small weddings, all bets are off. You can laugh loudly. You can bawl or “ugly” cry. You can dance the night away while being slightly offbeat (or perhaps slightly tipsy).

You are with YOUR people, and nobody’s judging. With a big wedding, you might find yourself feeling pressure to put on the “perfect” event. You might even be embarrassed to have more than 100 people see you “ugly” cry. 

But, with small weddings, each of your guests is handpicked. You are free to be yourself and to be completely carefree. 

 

3. You Can Focus On What The Day Means To You.

 

Knowing you’re having a small wedding can significantly reduce wedding-related stress. 

Especially if you work with an expert small or tiny wedding planner, you will have more time and energy to focus on the things you want to focus on. 

What are you interested in? Your dress? Your tuxedo? Planning a honeymoon for the books?

With a small wedding, you can prioritize those things. You won’t have to worry about providing dinner for people you’ve never met (like your mom’s best friend’s cousin’s daughter.) Sorry, mom!

 

4. You Can Have Your Pick Of Venues, Even The Unusual Ones 

 

Museums. Rainforests. Public libraries. You name it. When you have a small or tiny wedding, you have so many options of places to tie the knot. You can go traditional, with a quaint chapel. Or, you can go non-traditional, with a small, charming Airbnb. 

When you aren’t limited to large venues that can accommodate all of your guests, you can be more creative with venue options!

5. Your Wedding Guests Will Feel Like Participants, Not Spectators

 

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to talk to everyone at your wedding? To remember each and every face that’s there? With a small or tiny wedding, you can do just that! 

Some couples who opt for larger weddings regret not getting to spend more time with all of their wedding guests. Others feel pressure to “get to everyone” during the event. In doing so, they miss out on key moments to pause and soak in the beauty of their big day. 

Some family members will fly across the country, or across the world to see you get married. Skip the regrets, and rack up the memorable conversations by keeping your guest list intimate. 

Your guests will be able to truly bond and get to know one another during the event. Some may walk away as friends or even lovers!
