- Limit your guest list (this is a given!)
- Choose a small venue—Think more along the lines of country barns, small restaurants, art museums, or backyards
- Eliminate the need for ceremony seating and host a standing ceremony. Guests will naturally circle you and your soon-to-be husband/wife creating a close, tight-knit feel that brings everyone together
- Have your guests sit “family style” during dinner. One long table instead of multiple tables creates a more casual and intimate setting
- Don’t worry about hiring a wedding band that could draw attention away from you and your new special someone. Stick with an iPod playlist and a good sound system
- Choose vendors and coordinators that specialize in small weddings
- Make a list of the top three things you want to splurge on for your big day. It could be anything from food and drinks to eye-opening entertainment. Make a point to set aside money for those things or at least one of them so you can splurge!
- If you’re planning a backyard wedding: make sure there will be no construction going on near your home during the wedding—call your local town hall or ask someone who might know about upcoming construction projects. Also, inform you neighbors that there will be more than the usual amount of people parking on your block on that day.
