10 Things You Should Know Before Hosting an Intimate Wedding
The first thing to know about hosting an intimate wedding is that it will be less stressful. With fewer people, you'll have more time for each guest at your reception. You'll also have more time with your photographer, if you so prefer. Personalized touches are easier when there are fewer guests. Your budget will be lower than average because you won't need to spend as much on food, drinks and other items like a wedding cake or decorations. You might find it easier to book a venue or find availability on preferred service providers, like a wedding photographer or makeup artist. Flexibility, even on the day. This might not sound like a plus, but I've seen it happen more than once. You are no longer restricted to set areas, smaller size means you could use your favourite part of the venue.
