What are the advantages of an intimate wedding?

Getting married with only a few guests or just the couple was something uncommon in Portugal until a few months ago. Marriage was synonymous with a big party with more than 100 guests.

But Covid-19 has changed that tradition and shown that weddings, to be unforgettable, do not need to have many guests. An intimate party can be even more remarkable, intense, and emotional.

But what are the advantages of an intimate wedding? Is it equally fun?

- Fewer guests mean more time with each of them

What could be better than being with the people we love the most? In a wedding with a few guests, it is much simpler to give attention to each one of them. In addition, the fact that there are fewer people allows for greater ease of interaction among everyone and enables more quality time between the couple and those they have chosen to witness one of the most important days of their lives.

- Easier to comply with restrictions

The pandemic has changed the plans of almost everyone who wanted to get married in 2020/2021. Many couples were even forced to remove some people from their guest list. However, we now know that all these restrictions may still remain for some time. So, it's best to start dreaming of a wedding with all the limitations that are now in place.

One of the great advantages of small weddings is the fact that it is easier to comply with all the rules imposed by the government. Distributing family groups among tables or even ensuring social distancing ends up being simpler, thus creating a sense of greater trust among everyone.
