There’s plenty of perks that come along with having a super small wedding. A low key wedding is an intimate celebration of love, which puts the focus on the couple. n. Low key weddings are high on emotions and memories, without the high price tag. In a micro wedding the attention is on the details, your wants, and your opportunity to really remember every little moment that fills up this most incredible day. Super small wedding ideas can help to show you just how feasible and stress-free this kind of wedding can be.
10 Super Small Wedding Ideas
If you’re considering a scaled-back celebration, some small wedding ideas can really paint the picture of your big day for you. Here are 10 ideas for making your small wedding one of a kind:
1. Only Invite Your Inner Circle
To keep things intimate, cut the guest list wayyyyy down. I’m talking 10 people or less.. Filling your guest list with only your inner circle ensures you can be completely open, vulnerable, and free to enjoy your special day just how you want it.
2. Consider a Weekday Wedding
There is no steadfast rule that says weddings have to be on a weekend. Opting for a weekday wedding might allow you to enjoy a unique wedding venue, special date, or particular wedding package you may not otherwise have available to you. Weekday weddings can be the perfect way to implement low key wedding ideas. The fact that your vendors will be less stressed means they can put more thought and effort into pulling off your small wedding ideas.

3. Fun Transportation
Who doesn’t dream of making a big entrance? A super small wedding gives you more options, like a head-turning vintage car from Vegas Vintage Classic Car Rentals.
4. Make It a Destination Wedding
If you’re dreaming of the glittering lights of the Las Vegas Strip, or a beach wedding in breezy San Diego, a small destination wedding is the way to go. Just you, your spouse to be, and your most favorite people in a destination you love. Planning a weekend destination wedding is simpler than most think when you’re dealing with just a small handful of people.

5. Enjoy The Great Outdoors
Sometimes the most incredible venues aren’t built by people, they’re built by the world around us. Enjoying the great outdoors is one of the most popular super small wedding ideas as you let nature take care of your décor. The great outdoors aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. If it’s out of their comfort zone, keep them off the guest list and keep the celebration intimate.
6. Customize Everything
One of the huge perks of planning a small wedding is the ease in which you can make your favorite Pinterest board your wedding reality. Even if you wish to customize every little detail of your big day for the ultimate personalized experience, it remains stress-free and affordable. Sure there’s something to be said for the economy of scale, but that doesn’t really apply to weddings. It’s cheaper and easier to make one stunning celebration table center piece than it is to make 25.
7. Invest In a Photographer
While you’re less likely to experience “wedding day amnesia” when you have a small wedding, you’ll still want to keep every memory fresh. Invest in a quality wedding photographer to ensure you immortalize each and every perfect moment. This is a great way you can reallocate the budget when you don’t have to worry about feeding a long list of guests
8. Cake Alternative
While a traditional wedding cake is typically part of the experience, it doesn’t have to be. A cake alternative like cupcakes or hand pies keeps your small wedding celebration delicious and unique. Plus you can choose a unique flavor. There’s a reason just about every wedding cake in the history of the world is vanilla. People love vanilla, and it’s a safe choice. But you don’t have to play it so safe if you’re having a super small wedding.
9. Paint Your Wedding Live
A live painting of your wedding is a souvenir you’ll cherish for the rest of your days. It captures all of the love and joy you experience during these special moments with perfect artistic expression. The most unique way to immortalize your wedding, it captures your vision as art.
10. Get Personal with the Wedding Party Gifts
When you’re not looking for wedding party gifts for a large party, you have more opportunity to keep things personal and memorable. Personalized wedding party gifts act as a souvenir for your wedding party to remember the incredible day they’ve shared with you forever. Fewer gifting decisions means you can put more time, energy and thought into a personalized gift for each person. Because we all have enough coffee mugs and tote bags, thank you very much.
