As restrictions start to (finally) ease up, we’re all looking forward to celebrating the precious moments in our lives again with our nearest and dearest. But some of us are still wary about living with no restrictions at all, and that’s absolutely okay. What you personally feel comfortable with doing or not doing is entirely your choice, especially when it comes to your wedding day. Not everybody is thrilled at the idea of throwing a huge wedding with hundreds in attendance. There isn’t anything wrong with that, and you shouldn’t feel ashamed or that you’re letting people down if you’ve had to cut down on the guest list.
Lots of couples now want a small and intimate wedding; they’re very in vogue. For starters, it costs less! Preparing for a glamorous, all singing, all dancing big day isn’t something that comes cheap. With the average wedding in 2019 (we’re ignoring 2020) costing just over £30,000, we definitely wouldn’t judge someone for tightening their purse strings or cutting down on a few numbers from their guest list.
And it’s not just the numbers in attendance that are a teller that this pandemic is still playing on people’s minds. We’ve noticed cheeky little bottles of hand sanitiser being used as favours, glamorous masks being provided to guests on arrival, and so many other fantastic ideas that people have had to make sure their guests are safe, but still having fun.
There are definite pros and cons to both small and large weddings. We absolutely love both, but we shouldn’t feel pressured into throwing the kind of wedding we don’t want or feel comfortable with just because we feel like a smaller do will be less special. In our experience, smaller weddings are equally as special, romantic, and definitely more intimate.
A wedding day is a busy day for the bride and groom. We know it’s a cliche, but it definitely goes by in a blur, and even more so when you’ve got hundreds of guests to welcome and spend time with.
At the end of the (wedding) day, your wedding day ought to be whatever you want it to be. Whether you have 30 guests or 300, it will be special because it’s yours. However many people you choose to spend your day with, have the most perfect time, and, most importantly, stay safe!
