Price
In a world where gas and grocery prices continue to soar, it is no wonder micro weddings are growing in popularity. Why not create meaningful memories in an intimate setting with the people you love most…all while saving quite a bit of money? A smaller guest list translates into smaller costs for everything from your venue, to catering, décor and more…savings which can be used to create a more elaborate event, to pay for an extravagant honeymoon or to put toward your future.
Ease
It’s literally simple. Micro = more manageable. Decreasing the size of a wedding also decreases the amount of organization and preparation, as well as all of the associated stresses. So, go micro and relax and enjoy your wedding and the days leading up to it, as opposed to being overwhelmed with an enormous amount of details. You may even decide to use some of the money you save to hire a wedding planner, making your life even simpler and providing you with the peace of mind that one of the most important days of your life will be exactly as you dreamed it would.
Impact
Then, of course, there is the whole quality over quantity thing. You don’t have to sacrifice style when you decrease size. In fact, with a wedding of 25 or 50 as opposed to 100 or 200, you can more easily afford to splurge on luxuries. You can add personal touches like customized gifts, comforts or amenities for your guests. Your dining experience can be lavish with dessert from your favorite French bakery instead of the requisite big cake. Plus, with a micro wedding, your celebration can be unique as you are. Instead of being relegated to some sort of huge ballroom or the like, choose from distinctive venues including private estates, exotic villas, boats, vineyards, boutique hotels, a museum or arboretum. Or maybe you lean more toward the simpler side and prefer a secluded beachside cove, a lovely English garden or even a backyard bonfire.
