Last time, Funke talked about how to plan a destination wedding. This latest episode of FunkeSays covers the topic of small and intimate wedding. You can either want a small and intimate wedding OR a big wedding. Having a small wedding is easier to plan but harder to achieve.
She shares the following practical tips to help accomplish your small wedding:
- Be realistic with your goals e.g. number of guests, etc.
- Communicate with your family members – make sure they buy into the idea
- Design your dream list
- Plan and set expectations e.g no additional guests or children.
- Choose an unusual time of day or week to reduce guests and even cost.
- Cut out non-close friends. Cut out co-workers who are not your friends outside the office. Have an A-list of people who must be at the wedding. Also have a B-list of people who really want to attend and you are not sure you want to invite them.
- Divide guest list among your families and try to make it equal.
- Send save-the-date invites to only those you want to invite.
- Lastly, make the wedding fun and all about family and friends.
