Micro-weddings are those that are fewer than 50 guests and just include your family and closest friends. These weddings are super intimate and they’re a great way to add some joy into an otherwise uneventful year. Here’s everything you need to know when planning a micro-wedding.

Create a Guest List

Creating a guest list is one of the most stressful parts of any wedding and it’s even harder for micro-weddings because you’re limited to the number of people that can come. The good news is that people can’t really get offended if they aren’t invited to your micro-wedding because the pandemic limits how many people can attend. Once you narrow down your guest list, send invites two to three months before your big day.

Set a Budget

With any wedding, before you get to planning, you need to set a budget. While micro-weddings are usually cheaper than regular ones because there are fewer people, it doesn’t mean that you have to have a budget wedding. You can spend the money you save on decorations, flowers, hair and makeup, your dress, or a band.

Start Planning Early

As soon as you decide what you want, start reaching out to vendors and make sure they have a cancelation cause in case of corona-related restrictions. Once you get your RSVPs back, you can start planning the specifics of your wedding.

Include Tech

There are bound to be people you wish you could have invited that won’t make the cut and in that case, you can live stream the ceremony. It’s a way to make your friends and family who can’t be there to celebrate your special day feel included.

The wedding industry is a growing industry that consists of many different parts that make up our big day. Whatever you need for your wedding day, you can find a company that specializes in it – from dresses and cakes to décor, everything is available and trends change from season to season.

After deciding on things that every wedding has, such as a venue and a band, the future bride and groom need to focus on how to make their special day truly unique and authentic.

It’s through décor and details that you can turn it into something truly yours and it’s important to stay on top of trends so you don’t miss something that would be perfect.

The latest thing we keep seeing at the venues are neon signs. They look great in any space and can hold a message you want – a motivational message, a quote, your names, a date, or anything else. They look amazing in person and on photos, which is just perfect if you’re planning an Instagrammable wedding.

A cheaper option includes buying a pre-made sign, but you can also contact a brand that makes them and request a special one made.

Don’t Wear White

White or any other light color dresses should really be off the table. Yes, they are cute, but no, they are not appropriate for someone else’s wedding, especially today when many brides go with simple white dresses instead of wedding gowns.

No Jeans

They are simply too casual for any special event, let alone someone’s wedding. You can wear them any other day anyway.

Guys, Please Don’t Wear Shorts

Even on the hottest summer day, you should stick with pants. There are plenty of lightweight options to choose from.

No Rips and Holes

Even when they are intentionally placed on the garment, they simply have no place at a wedding. If you want to show some skin, go for a shorter dress or a stylish cutout.

Over-the-Top Invitations

Everyone will try to have the biggest and the most unique invitations, with plenty of design details such as interesting typography, illustrations, etc.

Flowers Everywhere

Flowers will be everywhere, from bouquets to jewelry, and they have never looked better.

A Band & a DJ

The big question isn’t whether to pick a band or a DJ anymore. Why not have both? It’s a real win-win and honestly something that should’ve happened a long time ago.

No-Makeup Makeup

Natural beauty will be celebrated and we’ll see many brides proudly rock a no-makeup makeup look, where they have only the minimal amount of makeup and natural colors on their face.

For every wedding, there are always do’s and don’t’s, but for destination weddings, it becomes a little trickier. Let this guide help you in your planning so you can have the trip of your dreams and ensure your guests have a wonderful time as well.

Don’t Accept Presents

If you know airfare and or accommodation are going to be pricey for people, tell them that you are not accepting presents and that their presence is enough. If people really want to contribute something, do create a list of organizations you want people do donate to in your name.

Do Organize Group Activities

Since a lot of people will be traveling from all over the place, it’s important to find time for everyone to get together. Plan at least communal activity everyday so you can make sure the whole party comes together before and after the big day. This can be meals, excursions, or even just a happy hour.

Don’t Send Invitations Out Late

When people are traveling far, they need a lot of notice. Make sure you that you send save the dates or even the invitations themselves with plenty of time for people to get plane tickets and accomdations.
