Last minute backyard wedding

Having a really small number would probably make it more enjoyable, not awkward.

The only real thing I can recommend is to have a weather backup plan. Otherwise it sounds awesome!

Might I recommend just taking everyone out to a brunch after the ceremony. You're already having a small wedding, avoid the rentals and prep and clean up by just going to a nice restaurant for brunch. Mm, brunch.

Welcome to WW! All you really need is an officiant, which you do :-), and a few witnesses (which you do!). Sounds like you have the bases covered. As far as food/refreshments, I would recommend having some juice, coffee, perhaps a fruit plate to accompany the doughnut bar. Maybe mimosas too?!

On a sidenote, because I hope you keep posting, it gets a little old for us who have been on here awhile to be told "not to comment if we are going to be hateful." Funny enough, we get that line a lot from new brides. Please give us a chance. As long as you are reasonable, you should have no lack of support from the ladies and gents on here. :-)

And by reasonable, I mean, as long as you aren't calling us b*****s, meanies, twatwaffles, etc. we will be all good :-D

I kinda want ot be at your wedding, but you're getting married the same day as me so I can't crash. booooo! Go to a donut shop get a few dozen donuts, have them on platters, some fruit, coffee and champagne with oj and such. Simple is easy and a lot of fun.

Photography is super important to me so I'd say get one, check local college photography students even-my sister did that, they were good photos-not amazing, but she got what she wanted short notice AND affordable.

Also ignore Beatrice, I'm not sure what her problem is today, but take a deep breath let it out and have fun. oh, and post your BAM for all of us!

Get a photographer! You'll have these pictures the rest of your life and you'll want them to be beautiful and special. Plus, with such a small intimate wedding you'll really want all your guests to be just chill and relaxed. Id be super stressed if I was the one responsible for nice wedding photos.

(Don't kill me guys) but you can get a great priced photographer off of Facebook. I haven't used one for a wedding but I have for other photos and they've come out great! A lot of them have portfolios on their pages too!

Are you and your girlfriend crafty? You could make holders for the donut bar and other brunch goodies. I attached a photo of one I made it was 2$ I bought the candle holder and charger from dollar tree then got glues it. You could make a couple and glue them together to give it a look of having tiers to it.

ETA I also think I should be invited I'm a good time and I'll do the donut run lol. Also super crafty (:

Sorry on mobile posting one by one. Also you could do something cute like a hot cocoa bar as an alternative from just juice. Maybe you could do cocoa instead of coffee

I'm not sure if someone else mentioned this--but make sure you have enough seating for people! Congrats and welcome!

Posting a lot of pictures because OP asked for picture ideas

I heard doughnuts! I'm in!

OP, I have nothing to add since the PPs are so on top of it all. Please share your BAM! I know I would love to see it!
