Micro weddings are continuing to grow in popularity for several reasons. They’re more affordable, the couple has the flexibility to spend time with their guests throughout the day, and there’s often less pressure (especially for the introverts out there). But, not all costs flex with the number of guests on your list.

Accommodating everyone on your wedding day can be a challenge. That’s why this couple decided to talk with each of their guests at the beginning of the planning process to hear what was important to them.
When your family is a priority, making time to talk with them about what is important to them surrounding your wedding celebration early on is critical.
It was important to us that everyone felt seen and heard during the wedding planning process. We made time to have conversations with each of our family members to make sure that we knew their expectations and what was important to them early on.
