What Is Your Dream Wedding?
While a big wedding is the dream for a lot of couples, making the celebration more intimate has steadily grown in popularity since the pandemic.
Prior to this, most couples would plan their wedding considering a big crowd, a grand location, and a huge party. There’s more than a hundred invitations to prepare and that’s just the tip of the iceberg! The whole affair would typically need a wedding coordinator just to make sure everything is in order. Since a wedding of this scale would require more time, money and effort, modern couples who want to keep things simple and personal see an intimate wedding as the best option. And while having an intimate wedding may lead to a celebration of a smaller scale, there are perks that add to the appeal.
If you’re still undecided of the kind of wedding you’d want to have, perhaps this article can help you assess if an intimate wedding is the one for you!
Here are the questions you need to ask yourself if an intimate wedding is your best option.
What is your overall budget for the wedding?
It starts with the resources you’re willing to expend for this special occasion. Do you plan to spend your whole budget on your wedding or do you have future plans like your honeymoon or other core events that you would like to allocate your funds to? If you have a lot of plans along the way, perhaps reallocating your funds to these other important milestones makes more sense instead of spending everything on the wedding itself. This gives you a good idea on how personalized you want your wedding to be and allows for more flexibility in terms of searching for the best location, catering, and other miscellaneous.
Who do you absolutely want to be there?
It’s common for Filipino families to invite everyone, beginning with the whole extended family, distant relatives, friends, and community, in the spirit of “pakikisama”. And when everyone must be invited, the guest list tends to go on for much longer than you expect it to. But the question remains the same. It is good to think about how you feel about the people around you and how connected they are to this union when thinking about who should be there. If you choose to prioritize your privacy and the intimacy of this celebration, you can limit your guest list to your immediate family, closest friends, and those who are truly close to you.
Can you manage on your own or do you need help?
When you think of your dream wedding, do you imagine being hands-on with the preparations or is something you want professionals to handle? Do you want a curated experience or a grand occasion to honor tradition? The answers to these guide questions gives you an insight if you prefer it to be centered in emotional connections or your network of connections. While a big wedding can be a proud moment when you can share your union to a large group, a smaller celebration can allow a better space and quality time with each guest for meaningful interactions.
What is your priority?
The bottom line is knowing what kind of experience you want for your wedding. It’s about what truly matters to you as a couple and not just what is expected by the people around you. The questions above can help you have clarity but ultimately, these factors can be flexible and tailored to fit your preferences. What’s most important is understanding your boundaries and expectations. Be honest about what you want.
