want to keep your marriage low-profile, then why not elope! Sounds crazy, doesn't it. Well maybe not. Elopement is an ideal way to get married for people who love spontaneity and also for people facing budget restrictions.
Choosing to have a small wedding doesn't mean giving up on the beauty and joy of a bigger wedding, make your wedding exciting by focusing on your guests and the constantly reminding yourself of the significance of the union.
Small weddings allows for a lot of creativity. Below are some suggestions to get you started.
* include new customs and create novel traditions in all aspect of your wedding. Novel, redesigned elements are easier to integrate into a small wedding. An example could be composing your own wedding vow.
* Do away with the formalities such as the procession and instead, allow the guests to mix informally prior to the ceremony.
*As bride and groom, initiate the reception by clinking glasses and toast to the guests, this is done in lieu of the MC intro. of the bridal couple.
* In absence of bridal party, flower attendants, flower centerpieces, give flowers to every female guest as a wristlet or small corsage.
* In absence of bridal party, have the guests stand up for you in the course of the ceremony.
* Ask anyone with good wishes for the bride and groom to speak or toast.
* Expand and customize the wedding program to include personalized messages to all the guests and explain your reasons for opting for a small wedding, alternatively show them a slide show or video of the couple, with family and friends in attendance.
* Evaluate the typical wedding venue and settle for one that sufficiently accommodates a small group, i.e. an estate, restaurant, gardens or art gallery.
* Provide your guests special treatment that may not be possible with a larger audience i.e. transportation to ceremony (limo or shuttle bus), a chance for each guest to be photographed with the bridal couple. If budget allows then consider an exotic destination wedding, provide accommodation for a night or two. You may also extend the wedding festivities by making it an extended stay also referred to as a mini-vacation.
* Offer your guest's exclusive service like body massage, spa treatments, museum tours e.t.c
* Get a music soloist for the groups in attendance.
* Expand the wedding theme to cover not only the bridal couple, but also attendants if you have any, and all the guests.
Keep in mind that small and intimate weddings can be defined and translated in whatever manner that extends the fun, joy and merriment and makes the bridal couple the center of the event.
