Micro weddings are trending but don't automatically mean cost savings. We examine the realities of planning an intimate celebration with fewer than 50 guests.

• Micro weddings typically include 20-50 guests but maintain traditional wedding elements
• Post-COVID popularity has shifted wedding expectations and planning approaches
• Venue costs generally remain the same regardless of guest count
• Catering and decor offer the most significant savings opportunities
• Smaller guest lists allow for deeper connections with each attendee
• Weekday weddings are becoming more common for micro celebrations
• Non-traditional venues like art galleries and private gardens are trending
• Themed micro weddings (vintage, boho, 1920s) offer creative possibilities
• Clear communication helps manage expectations with uninvited guests
• Even small weddings benefit from professional coordination
• Prioritizing experiences over quantity creates memorable celebrations
• Focus on what matters most to you as a couple rather than others' expectations
