If you have decided that a pandemic won’t get in the way of your big day, then a micro wedding might be the way to go. A micro wedding is not to be confused with elopement or an intimate wedding. It is a full wedding day that features the classic traditions, however, with a much shorter guest list. Typically, a micro wedding is a wedding with no more than 20 to 50 guests. While this has been a trend for a while, it has only now become a mandate for couples in 2020, owing to the COVID-19 crisis.
Micro weddings are ideal if you are realigning your original wedding plan to adhere to the current guidelines or if you’re a minimalist planning a wedding in the near future. Listed below are a few reasons why they get a nod of approval from us…
It’s a far more personal experience
A micro wedding is very intimate because it forces you to pick the friends and family members that are closest to you. With having only up to 50 guests, you are sure to spend more quality time with each of them instead of scrambling around only to be left with enough time to exchange greetings. And not to forget, you end up spending less time taking photos and more time actually enjoying your wedding!
It gives you a chance to be creative
You are not restricted while picking venues if you choose to have a micro wedding. From the stairs of a public library to the cafe you had your first date at or even your own backyard! Micro weddings truly give you the chance to let your imagination run wild.
It allows for personalisation
With fewer guests than a typical-sized wedding, it is easy to add a personal touch to the food and beverages, décor and various other arrangements. Since you will be inviting people that are closest to you, you could leave each guest a heartfelt note or you could even consider handing out customized invitations.
It’s lighter on the pocket
By choosing a micro wedding, not only do you scale down the guest list, but you also have the option of condensing your wedding to the elements that are most important to you and your partner. The result is that you end up with a pocket-friendly wedding without compromising on elements that mean the most.
It is less stressful
Without a doubt, it is easier to manage 50 people than it is to manage 200. The same goes for the arrangements, be it guest availability, seating, food preferences and everything in between. If you’re still worried, you could even hire a wedding planner that offers a micro wedding package. That way you are enjoying every step that leads to your wedding—no matter how big or small!
A micro wedding will give you the opportunity to enjoy an intimate celebration, to customize details, to spend on elements that you truly value, and allow you to connect with each of your guests. A micro wedding is a wonderful alternative to pushing your wedding until 2021 or later. And remember, you can always use Zoom to extend the celebration to the rest of your guest list!
