For me, It's my ONLY big day. I cannot allow mistakes! So things have to run smoothly and I've informed all my bridesmaid to play by ear on that day and luckily our wedding is a small scale one.
I happened to come across this US wedding website.. and they have a post about having a small weddings and what they wrote is exactly how I feel!
So there is the 10 reasons to have a small wedding
Words and Image from: intimateweddings
1. You get to celebrate one of the biggest days of your life surrounded by people who love you.
2. 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. Your wedding will feel more like a celebration with close-knit friends and family, than a production.
3. You can save money. (For us as it's a small scale wedding, unlike those couples with 20 - 30 tables... our wedding dinner bill doesn't cost us so much)
4. 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 get more ‘wow’ for less wallet with a small wedding. When you’ve got fewer guests, you can splurge on the things that really matter to you. ( For me, it's PHOTOGRAPHY! I've loved One Eye's Click works and Mr Lee is sooo good to me that he actually hire them for our Actual Day shoot!!)
5. You have more options when choosing a venue. Since you won’t need a large space to accommodate your guests, many small wedding venues will be open to you. A smaller guest list means more creative venue options like bed and breakfasts, museums, art galleries and restaurants. (Yes!! Precisely . We choose a semi -outdoor venue with buffet dinner...)
6. 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 unique wedding a reflection of the two of you. (I've done lots of DIY!!)
7. You get to spend time with your guests. How many weddings have made you feel 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.
8. 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.
9. You can get your guests involved. A small wedding will give you the opportunity to get your loved ones involved in your special day. Also, it’s a lot easier pulling off a DIY wedding with a guest list under 75, than a big scale production.
10. 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 is more likely to be remembered.
It's just another 2 more days to our wedding!!
Hope everything will run smoothly and last but not least, WEATHER!! Pls! Be good to us!
Thank you!!
Xoxo,
