What are the pros and cons of having a micro wedding?

The biggest advantage is cost. With fewer guests, you can spend more per person on a nicer venue, better food, or a longer honeymoon. You also have more flexibility with dates and venues, because smaller spaces are easier to book. Planning is simpler, and you can actually talk to every guest, which makes the day feel more personal and relaxed.

On the downside, some people may feel hurt if they are not invited. You need to be clear and kind about your guest list from the start. Also, some venues have minimum numbers, so you might still pay for a large room even if you only have twenty guests. You may miss the buzz of a big party, and you might need to plan a separate celebration later for wider family and friends. Another consideration is that some suppliers, like photographers or florists, have minimum packages, so you may not save as much as you hoped. But for many couples, the intimacy and quality of a micro wedding far outweigh the drawbacks. Think about what matters most to you, and talk openly with your partner and close family before deciding.
