1. Keep the Guest List Intimate
Limiting the number of guests can help you save on catering, venue costs, and more. Invite only your closest family and friends to make the day even more special.
2. Choose an Off-Peak Wedding Date
Getting married during the off-peak season or on a weekday can significantly reduce costs for venues and vendors.
3. Opt for a Non-Traditional Venue
Consider hosting your micro wedding at a public park, a beach, or even your own backyard to save on venue rental fees.
4. DIY Decor and Favors
Get creative and make your own centerpieces, bouquets, and wedding favors to add a personal touch to your special day while cutting costs.
5. Simplify the Menu
Choose a simple yet delicious menu with fewer courses to save on catering costs. Consider a buffet-style or food truck catering for a more casual vibe.
6. Prioritize What's Important to You
Focus your budget on the elements of your wedding that matter most to you, whether it's photography, live music, or a specific type of cuisine.
7. Opt for a Smaller Cake
You can still have a beautiful wedding cake without breaking the bank by opting for a smaller, simpler design or even a dessert bar with a variety of treats.
8. Consider a Virtual Ceremony
For guests who can't attend in person, consider live-streaming your ceremony to include everyone while saving on additional venue and catering costs.
9. Rent or Borrow Instead of Buying
Save money by renting your wedding attire, decor, and other items instead of buying them. You can also borrow items from friends and family to cut costs.
10. Embrace the Intimacy
Remember that a micro wedding allows you to focus on what truly matters – celebrating your love with your nearest and dearest. Embrace the intimacy and cherish every moment.
