There are several reasons why couples may choose to have small weddings rather than a much more elaborate and large one. The problem with a large wedding is that often the couple may find themselves still paying for the event years after it has taken place.

For many years now because of celebrity weddings being shown on TV, elaborate and expensive ones have proved to be very popular. Yet now people are starting to see the smaller wedding as being more acceptable and are coming back into vogue. For those who are looking for a wedding that is more intimate and personal then this is the best type of wedding for them.

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.

In fact when it comes to a small wedding we are talking about the number of guests that the bride and groom will invite to the event. These are the kinds of weddings where the bride and groom will only choose to invite very close relatives and friends to help them celebrate such a momentous day in their lives.

Because the guest numbers are much smaller with this wedding the bride and groom are able to focus more of their time and energy into the areas of their wedding that they consider to be important. Certainly this may well mean that they are able to actually have their wedding and honeymoon abroad rather than at home.

Certainly more and more people who choose a small wedding have a much larger selection of destinations where this happy event can take place. Along with the Caribbean many couples are choosing some unique places for their weddings to take place in. Some couples go for the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas whilst others have had theirs at an old castle or at a mountain lodge.

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.

As you can see from above a small wedding can be as elaborate as you want it to be. Just what kind of small wedding you choose to have will depend on how much you are willing to spend. But what is important to remember is that this is your special day and it is one that you and your guests should enjoy and remember for years to come no matter what size it is.
