The Art of Simple Wedding: How to Plan a Perfect Intimate Wedding 

Is intimacy more important to you than impressing? If it is, then a simple wedding is the way for you. Private, simple, and personal weddings emphasize connection rather than consumption and make the participants happy. I am not saying that big weddings do not connect lovers with their guests, but they make it even harder and more complicated. Here are tips to plan a simple and intimate wedding that will leave you less exhausted. 

Invite Few Guests 

Having a short guest list makes everything else simple, affordable, and intimate. Having few guest means you will need a smaller event location, fewer food cost, and less organizing time. Only invite those people who are intimate to you like your close family members and friends. Having a 100 guest will make you more connected to them than having 400 people who sits up to the furthest end some of who you won’t even notice. 

Have a Simple Menu

Food is one of the biggest costs at weddings. If you create a simple menu, your overall wedding budget will be reduced. Choose a few key dishes that are simple rather than extravagant foods that will strain your budget. The aim is to make sure every guest is full while avoiding a lot of food wastage. Get help from a professional wedding planner to guide you on how much food will be enough for your guests. 

Hire an Affordable photographer/Videographer 

While planning a simple wedding, do not forget that this is a crucial moment for you and your partner; thus, you need to document it. Search for photographers who can provide you with quality and affordable services. There are event videographers who can capture all crucial moments of your wedding at affordable a price. Do proper research and compare quality and price to avoid using too much for less.

Delegate 

As much as you want to keep your wedding simple, you cannot do everything by yourself. There are a lot of small, important details that need to be catered for. Do not shy to ask for help from your friends and family members to ensure that though your wedding is simple, it is at the same time elegant. Delegate some tasks to responsible people who will not disappoint you. Have a list of all the tasks and tick each when finished, making the planning easier. 

Don’t Try to Impress 

Trying to impress others with a fancy wedding can cost you. You will end up incurring a lot of expenses and spending more than it should be just to make people happy. Although fancy weddings are pleasing to the eye, they only last for a day like others. Minimize your stress level by working the budget that best suits your pocket and avoid entering into debt. The guests are just there to celebrate your day with you and later leave for their homes, leaving you to handle your burden alone. 

A simple wedding will help you achieve your goal and prevent you from stress. Do not have a long guest list that will overwhelm you; instead, invite those who are close to you. Ask for help from professionals and friends to make the planning easier. Don’t do things to impress others, but consider working under your budget to avoid entering debt.
