Having guests, a lot of guests is a quintessential to Indian Weddings. Inviting relatives and friends is pretty obvious. However, families go an extra mile and invite neighbors, distant relatives, their neighbors, friends and other acquaintances and the list can go on and on. And you will be surprised to know that on the BIG DAY there are as many as 1000 guests out of which you know only say 300 closely. Do you really feel there is a need to have an elaborate guest list and spend exorbitantly to entertain them!!? Hope this gets you thinking.
Destination Wedding Planner in India has introduced the concept of small and intimate weddings. When guest list is strictly restricted to close relatives and friends, when you want to plan your memorable day around limited but near and dear one’s, that’s exactly what we mean by small and intimate wedding. Going for a small wedding is going to be one of the best decisions of entire planning process. The bride and the groom and their immediate families can pay attention to every guest, bond with them very well. People really get to know one another. Well, intimate wedding celebrations have advantages some of which you will find below.
1. Keeps Your Budget Small – you will blatantly notice the difference between cost behind hosting 500 guests and 150 guests. When your budget gets smaller, you certainly choose to utilize that budget in different aspects of the wedding.
2. Guest Hospitality – when there is less number of guests, you can make their stay comfortable by paying attention to every aspect of hospitality. Be it the welcome hampers, or good night – good morning notes or favors for every function. Instead of 4 course meal when there would have been a big number of guests, you can choose 7 course meals for the intimate guest list. Guests have come all the way to be a part of your special day and they deserve a warm hospitality.
3. Attention To Minute Details – when you plan a small wedding you do not necessarily need a wedding planner for supervision. As it is easier to handle a function with 100 guests than a function which is attended by 300 guests. You will be able to pay attention to even the finest details – like drape décor or even the arrangement of linens on the tables.
4. Easier To Entertain – it is easier to entertain lesser guests. It is easier to get everyone in act somehow. Various entertainment ideas could be – treasure hunt or live stalls (bangle making or bandhani), t-20 cricket match and a lot more.
5. Destination Wedding – destination wedding works best when your guest list is small and you plan for an intimate wedding. Be it the beach wedding in Goa or mountain wedding in hill station or regal wedding in Rajasthan, you can accommodate your small guests perfectly. You can even get little thoughtful and plan a lavish wedding that lasts for 4-5 days where your guests can enjoy the ceremonies and also relax.
