You get to celebrate one of the biggest days of your life
surrounded by people who love you. Of the nearly 100 couples I
interviewed for my book, almost everyone said this was definitely one
of the best things about having a small wedding.

You can feel more relaxed on your wedding day. Because
you'll be surrounded by friends and family, you'll feel more at home
with your guests.

You can save money. You can save thousands of dollars by
having an intimate wedding, which means your nuptials won't have to put
you in debt.

You can splurge. Some couples choose a small guest list not
necessarily because their budgets are small, but because they can pull
out all the stops and have a truly lavish wedding.

You have more options when choosing a venue. Since you won't
need a large space to accommodate your guests, many doors will be open
to you.

|
Have more freedom to customize your wedding to your own tastes.
A small wedding gives you the opportunity to get your creative juices
flowing and make your wedding a unique reflection of the two of you.

You get to spend time with your guests. How many weddings
have made you fell like a stranger fulfilling a social obligation?
Small weddings aren't like that. When the guest list is small, the
bride and groom can spend time with each of their guests, making them
feel welcome.
|

|
You can make your guests feel at home. Because you will be
able to spend at least some time with your guests, they will feel more
at home at your wedding. Also, when the guest list is small, guests
will have a better opportunity to mingle with most of the others.
Chances are that many of your guests will know one another.

|
You can get your guests involved. A small wedding will give
you the opportunity to get your loved ones involved in your special
day.
|

|
You can have a wedding that people will remember. Because
your wedding won't be typical - the kind your guests have been to over
and over again - your wedding will be more likely to be remembered.
