    A wedding will teach you how to use the word “no” if you didn’t know how before lol

    I wanted a small wedding too and I’m so glad my fiancé felt the same way!

    Weddings do tend to have people paying a lot of attention on the couple, so I get it. I just wanted a small wedding because I don’t like a lot of people 😂

    When do you have to have the numbers to the venue? Maybe you have a few days to reach out to guests that haven’t responded yet.

    Yeah it has been a hassle now with all of this ppl catching attuides because we want something else than from want. Now I'm agreeing with my FH I should have just eloped now really thinking about it. To cancel now I still will be respond for half of my venue. Which I still want to just have the reception and still have a small reception too. I just want to marry my love now it's been making us both stress that now he has gotten quite on me about our new steps forward on a small ceremony

    I invited 145. People told me it's a small wedding, but I think it's medium.

    We are inviting 50 people and expect that a few won’t be able to come. I like that it’s small and more intimate.

    Congratulations 🍾! Prior to COVID-19 we were expecting between 170-200, which we knew the majority would have been in attendance. Also considered a large wedding. However, due to Covid we had to SPLIT our list to A & B. A closest family & friends-as people RSVP NO REPLIES WE then selected from our B list - the ones we knew the longest and so forth-our final attendance was 130 including the bridal party. 130 is still considered medium size wedding. And what made it even better 99% of our guest had been fully vaccinated so we we’re able to be mask free if our guest wanted. We are an older couple therefore our guest did comply with our request and if they weren’t to please keep their mask on at all times except when eating of course. The 1% that were not works in healthcare in some sort of way either medical -dental-etc. and are regularly tested -took either of the 3 types of Covid test. Many also sent the test results and brought to the wedding. We are 4 months out and we NEVER received and calls etc that anyone contracted Covid-19. It is so possible to have the count you desire if you COMMUNICATE with your guest your wishes. That’s if you’re one who believe in the vaccine . It this time we must be careful of loved ones as well as ourselves. Not being Bennie downer . To each their own.

    I'm inviting about 100 people. And that's not all of my family.
