Remember that saying \u2018less is more\u2019? Well, if 2020 weddings taught us anything, it\u2019s that this statement is 100% true! While COVID-19 mostly sucked, the trend towards small, intimate weddings<\/a> has made us gush over and over again. So, if you\u2019re considering a smaller wedding, here are five things to make it absolutely unforgettable.<\/p>

The Venue<\/h2>

With less people on the guest list, your venue options<\/a> basically triple. Which means that you can find a great venue that has exactly the vibe you are looking for. What\u2019s great about smaller, more unique venues is that it reduces the amount of d\u00e9cor items you actually need to buy. May we suggest your favourite restaurant or a family cottage? Maybe a picnic in a vineyard, or a cocktail reception in an underground speak-easy. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>

The Food<\/h2>

When feeding less people, it allows the chef more creative freedom when creating your menu. Wedding guests always say that good food is the key to a memorable wedding. So here is your chance to ‘wow’ your guests! You may not want to have an oyster bar for 200 people, but oysters for 25 seems reasonable!
When creating your menu you have the opportunity to get really unique and custom to your likes and dislikes. Rather than being limited by a banquet hall menu, you can create a menu that will make your guests’ mouths water when they remember your wedding!<\/p>

The Drinks<\/h2>

With larger weddings, you are often limited to bar rail and simple mixes both because of sheer volume and budget. However, with a more intimate celebration, you can have a few custom cocktails available for your guests, or, give your guests an amazing experience with a Scotch tasting! Chat with your venue\u2019s mixologist to come up with some fun cocktails featuring your favourite spirits!<\/p>

Activities<\/h2>

Giving your guests things to do during the reception \u2013 especially if you aren\u2019t dancing\u2013 is key! Think about cigar rollers, board games, or even video games! These are unique ways to ensure that your guests will remember your wedding for years to come! Does your wedding fall on the same night as a big game? Throw it on in a secluded area of the venue (sports fans will thank you!). Really, the world is your oyster!<\/p>
