Although big elaborate weddings might be all the rage at the moment, many couples are opting out of that choice and choosing instead to make their weddings a smaller, less boisterous affair. From extremely intimate elopements with just the couple to ceremonies with under 50 people, a small wedding is a great fit for many couples and their families. Here are some of the benefits to consider when trying to decide the size and scope of your event.
Increased Time with Guests
One of the most wonderful parts of having an intimate wedding is the amount of time you?re able to have with each person. There’s no need to have two sentences in the receiving line be the only words you speak to your grandma the entire day! With a small wedding, you are more able to soak in that time with the people you?re closest to in the world and truly savor it. The whole atmosphere feels more relaxed and less rushed, and there is no need to spend your whole reception walking table to table in order to properly greet and thank everyone you?ve known since preschool. Intimate Vibe

If a close-knit, intimate vibe is what you?re hoping to have for the big day, a small wedding is a perfect choice. Without the need for crowd control and items in bulk everywhere, the specific feel you desire for your event is exactly what will shine through. The less people milling about, the less wild the event will be, and the more you can cater the ambience to your vision.
