Hidden Benefits Of A Micro Wedding
Micro weddings—also called small weddings or intimate weddings—have surged in popularity, and I’m so glad they’re here to stay! While the benefits of a micro wedding often include cost savings and less stress, there are some hidden perks that make them even more special.
If you’re considering an intimate celebration, here are three unexpected benefits of a small wedding that might just convince you to go tiny (and love every minute of it).
Personalize Your Guest Experience
A smaller guest list gives you the opportunity to create a personalized experience for your guests. You've invited your closest family + friends—people you know well. The smaller guest size gives you the space, time, and sometimes even budget to create an experience your guests will genuinely love.
Think custom cocktails based on their favourite drinks, handwritten notes at each place setting, or even thoughtful welcome bags. When you're not catering to 150+ people, you can actually make it special.
Allows For Real, Meaningful Interaction
One of the biggest benefits of a micro wedding? You actually have time to chat with every single guest—and not just in passing while you're making the rounds between courses.
Spending real time with your people on such a special day makes it even more memorable for everyone. No more feeling like you barely saw half your guests because you were too busy greeting everyone else.
Introvert Approved
If the idea of hundreds of eyes on you while you commit your life to your best friend instantly has you sweating, a micro wedding is the perfect solution.
The smaller group allows the introvert in you to actually enjoy the entire day and end it on a high. No one wants to wrap up their wedding day feeling exhausted from having 100+ guests to greet and chat with. A small wedding means you can be fully present without ending the day totally drained.
Why a Small Wedding Might Be Your Best Decision
While the obvious benefits of a micro wedding (like budget-friendly choices and easier planning) are great, these hidden perks might be the real reason to go small.
And if you’re looking for a photographer who gets the magic of an intimate wedding? Hey, I might be your girl! As someone who had a small wedding myself, I totally understand wanting the intimate vibes of an elopement and the fun of a good dance party with your crew.
