What's a small wedding

Elizabeth, on February 13, 2017 at 9:59 PM Posted in Planning 0 25

Hello, this is my first time posting. We are having a pretty laid back, outdoor wedding. I am just wondering, what would you consider a "small wedding"? How many quests?

How many guests are you planning to have? Thanks in advance

    In my world, a small wedding is 20 people or less.

    IMO, 30 and under would be considered small. We had 65 guests and I don't think I could of done more. I had enough time to see everyone and not feel rushed at all!

    To me, small means just parents, siblings, and best friends. Agree with Centerpiece, that's about 20-25 people tops.

    I'd say small is no more than 50. Even 50 is pushing the small limits.

    30 and under!

    I wanted a small wedding but ended up with 90 people. Best piece of advice, keep your guest list limited to only immediate family and a select few friends.

    Small to me is less than 30. We're having about 55 guests and it feels like a great number of guests

    Also there are men on this forum. You may want to edit your title to reflect that.

    Small to me is under 30? I will come in under 60 and feel like there's so many people.

    I agree with 30 being the cutoff for small

    Actually @Kristi, most of us do care. Eta: To answer OPs question, I am having 6 guests at my ceremony. I consider that small.

    @Kristi, what crawled up your ass today? There was truly no need for that comment.

    I guess under 30? We're barely making that cutoff and it feels pretty small.

    Looks like I have a different opinion than most. I would say my arbitrary cutoffs are something like this:

    Alternative/tiny wedding: 0-30 guests

    Small wedding: 30-90 guests

    Standard wedding: 90-160 guests

    Large wedding: 160-275

    Absurd: 275+

    I agree. 30 max is small and intimate!
