Where are all of the intimate wedding brides at (75 guests or less)?

We're having around 75, backyard wedding, no engagement party, no bridal shower, no couples shower, no meal (just non-alcoholic beverages and cookies/cupcakes/fruit/cheese) ... just a simple wedding.

Love it, love it, but I don't know why you couldn't have a shower if someone chose to throw one for you.

I hear from my couples that very small weddings are easier to plan than sorta small ones. Too many people think they need to be invited to sorta small ones; with really small ones, immediate (and that means immediate, not distant cousins etc) family is all that is expected.

Enjoy it!

We are having between 50 and 60 hoping to stay closer to the 50 mark. Our ceremony and reception is at the same place. This is our second marriage. Our BP is our children. No showers, no registry. We are getting married at a beautiful location right next to Rocky Mtn National Park with the St. Vrain river running right behind our ceremony sight.

We are having about 75 people, still hoping for less. We are doing the ceremony & reception in the banquet room of a restaurant. The ceremony is going to be about 15 mins max and we'll transition into the cocktail hour and then a sit-down dinner.

I'm only having an MOH & 1 BM, same numbers for FH.

We aren't having any backlash at all since most of our families won't be able to make it anyways.

I'm also having a small shower and a very small bachlorette party.

Don't mind me... I just came to say that I'm jealous of all of you!

Lol Miss Madeline

25 guests here, all but 4 are immediate family (including grandparents and aunts we see on the regular so I consider immediate) The other 4 are the MOH, BM, and 2 friends that FH and I game with.

No one knows this is the plan outside the people who are coming, so I don't have a clue about "backlash"

I'm getting married in the mountains of Asheville nc. We are having about 65 guests, and it's a destination wedding for everyone! Planning has been going well so far, only about a month away and still waiting on half of the rsvps to come in with Thursday being the deadline. That's stressful! Everyone in our families has been supportive and they are all so excited to come to our wedding. We have a small bridal party, 2 on each side and a flower girl.

We are inviting 70 guest...We are having a brunch wedding @ Victory Garden Cafe (ceremony & reception would be held here)... I am having a MOH and 2 bridesmaids and FH is having 3 bestmen... We are not having a flower girl or ring bearer... We are not having a gift registry...

FH and I are receiving backlash from our family bc they don't understand the meaning of small and intimate. They want to invite everyone, but we are not budging with our 70 guest maximum.

We're having about fifty guests. The ceremony will be in a church and the reception will be at an audubon center. No backlash, most people like the fact we're keeping it small. Our bridal party will be either ten or twelve people (split evenly amongst both sides) no FG or RB.

We've invited 44 guests. That's immediate family (our parents and siblings) and our close friends only. We're getting married outside of a historic chapel. They have a beautiful courtyard/rose garden. Our reception will be in a private room of an upscale restaurant. My florist and baker are allowed to come in and set up. We're also allowed to bring in decor and anything else we want.

I'm having a MOH and a FG. FH couldn't decide on a BM so he's going without.

No backlash. Everyone has been really excited about the wedding. I am having three showers. One is family and invited guests. The second one is being thrown by my co-workers one day after school, and the third one is being thrown by my department heads. They all know the wedding is small, but still wanted to celebrate with me in some way.

We are less than a month away! Originally wanted a 50 person wedding but ended up increasing the guest list to 75 after some feelings of guilt before I realized it was still not enough and if I kept going we would end up with a 500 person wedding lol

Our wedding is in Vegas which helped a little with people understanging why they aren't invited. We aren't having a shower but we will be having a pre-wedding party the day before the wedding with any guests who will already be in the area. Just a time to hang out with people, have some drinks and appetizers.

Can't wait! And I love that we decided to stick to our intimate wedding

20-25 people in Vegas. Ceremony at Manadaly Bay, Reception in a private room at Canaletto in the Venetian. One best man, one maid of honor. No one has said jack squat about the size of the wedding because we are keeping it secret. everyone will know when they get announcements. only very close friends, immediate family and grandparents. Its amazing because I can do whatever the heck I want!! I want to give home made peach pie moonshine away as favors? DONE. I only want a groom's cake? DONE...wait I want cake and tiramisu? Double DONE! I want to wear a skirt instead of a dress...EASY! Problems=mostly non-existent.

We are having a destination wedding with about 20 people and then a back home reception like celebration with 69 invited!

63 guests here! its actually all our family and close friends. Thats all we wanted. I have a very big close net family while FHs family has sadly drifted apart.

Me, me, me!!! Down from the decision of 125, to now 75 or less!! I love this decision, less complication!! We have just decided and booked our newest idea of having a Rose Garden wedding, and the reception will be in the backyard of my future in laws residence. They have a nice deck, and we gone enjoy ourselves!!! Boom!!!

We will have about 60 when it's all said and done. We started at 50 and the list got cut off at 60. We are having our ceremony/reception at an all inclusive venue that handles everything: food, flowers, center pieces, dj, cake, invitations, hotel room, etc. It's called Wedgewood at the Retreat in Corona. I'm pretty sure we are only going to have a maid of honor and best man. The smaller the wedding party the lower the cost and that is our goal! Only backlash I've gotten was from the wife of my FH friend. She told my FH she was so 'hurt and saddened' that I didn't include her in my wedding party

@Carlene, I'm getting married at the Wedgewood in Vegas, I love Wedgewood!

Gosh!! I wish I would've been smart like some of you ladies and not told anyone, but those invited. I could've skipped out on the drama.

@Kwells- I love your attitude about it!!

Destination sunset beach ceremony with 22 of our immediate family and closest friends. We're having a reception dinner at a restaurant (also on the beach) immediately following the ceremony. I'm really excited about the privately chartered open air trolley that will transport all of us together throughout the festivities!

BTW...no bridal party, no showers, no registry, no gifts, no complaints, no problems, no worries ; )
