Covid-19 has almost made microweddings (weddings with under 50 guests) a necessity!! This week, I share some pros and cons of having a microwedding. Some positives include:
- Shorter & more succinct than traditional weddings
- You spend less money
- You can reallocate your budget and focus on quality over quantity. (Like instead of buying cheaper champagne for 200 people, you can buy some really good stuff for 50 people)
- You have more venue options, because your not limited by head count
- Less stress/not as overwhelming (comparatively)
- Less guests = more quality time with your loved ones
- It's more eco-friendly (less people using resources to travel)
- If you were already planning an international destination wedding, but can no longer travel because of Covid-19, it's a good alternative... you were probably already having a smaller guest list
Some negatives of a microwedding are:
- It may not be your dream wedding
- Because of the smaller guest list, you may not get to have everyone there you were hoping to have
- You might have to deal with some hurt feelings from people not invited
- Smaller or no wedding party
- If you're thinking of having a bigger, traditional wedding after Covid-19, you have to plan two weddings
