One of the biggest headaches when coming to organise your special day is that of deciding between having a big wedding or a small one. When opting for a big wedding you instantly eliminate the stresses that choosing a guest list brings with it, something that for smaller weddings can prove to be a nightmare. Uninvited friends and relatives could feel excluded or offended and therefore the couple needs to make sure that they are willing to explain to these people the reasoning behind the choice of guests.
However, the Ôthe more the merrierÕ approach might prove to be highly expensive especially when a planner is not involved in helping with the organisation side of the wedding. Both catering, as well as renting a large venue could be costly when you donÕt know all the options to choose from. With a small wedding and a shorter guest list it is easier and cheaper to have a wedding that wonÕt break your bank account.
The idea of a big wedding will bring with it more gifts, unlike smaller weddings. Whether they are bare necessities for the household or a nice cash gift, every newly wed couple will appreciate the smallest of contributions. However, the low cost and reductions in planning a smaller wedding will leave the couple able to take a breather and walk down the isle and later greeting guests, with no worries on their minds making the whole wedding even more intimate and exclusive. Yes, you would be taking away the ÔpartyÕ feel that a good-old large wedding boasts, but you will nonetheless be spending the best day of your life with the most important people by your side.
At the end of the day both options can and will make up a beautiful wedding; one that you will cherish for the rest of your lives.
