Inspired Ideas for Intimate Weddings
Smaller weddings are not only less stressful to organize, they are centered around what is truly important – the bride and groom and of course their closest family and friends. This new approach to weddings in 2020/21 is trending with couples taking their perfect day and completely customizing it to reflect them as husband and wife. At Food Craft, we’ve introduced an all-new format for intimate events, with bespoke menus, personalization to the last detail, and in full compliance of Covid-19 guidelines. We have a unique approach to this.
Why smaller is more personal than ever
With a smaller number of guests, ceremony and reception options become much bigger. Budgets per head increase and so do the venue choices available. Smaller weddings can be personalized down to the finest detail and it gives couples the perfect opportunity to get creative with planning a wedding completely unique to them.
Skip the physical invites- Go digital
You can use technology to your advantage to disseminate information on your big day without breaking the bank on invites. Let’s be honest, paper invitations are a hassle. They get lost, they take forever to print, and customization comes with a high price tag. On top of that, they create a mountain of work for the couple when it comes to tracking. With digital invites, there’s less stress when it comes to your guest list. You can customize a digital invite in just a few minutes and hit send, instantly delivering your beautiful invitations to friends and family. Track responses, send updates in real-time, and see who’s opened your invite and who has yet to reply. Digital invites are also eco-friendly, saving paper and the planet. Best of all, digital invitations save you time. Your guests can RSVP and respond more quickly than when using traditional methods
Finding a venue that fits your event
There are more options to go smaller than bigger when it comes to venues. Using your home, the one you grew up in a family members home to host your perfect day will really give your wedding the personal touch. Whether it be a grand under-used dining room or the garden, the options to transfer a home in to a spectacular are plentiful. The cost saving will mean you can splurge on incredible décor without having to scrimp on those small but impactful finishing touches! You could also think about hiring a smaller space in a big venue, get creative and browse boutique venues or take a look at the unique stays section on airbnb..
Focus on the food
Say goodbye to uninspired wedding food that plays it safe for larger numbers. If you appreciate flavour and creativity, why not use your additional budget to your guests will remember? This is where a couple can really have fun designing and experimenting with different food and menu options, revisiting special meals they have had as a couple or recreating meals abroad. Less people will also mean more time to serve more courses, so you can really wow your guests by taking them on a culinary journey.
You could take the foodie inspired wedding up a notch by holding a post-wedding boozy brunch the next day to continue the celebrations, with guest-themed cocktails served alongside your brunch favourites. Give us an outline of the kind of menu you’re looking for here, and we’ll take it from there.
The possibilities to personalize your intimate wedding are endless. Think outside of the box and try to personalize as much as you can.
