Would you regret not having a big wedding

I don't think so. because in the end you still got what you wanted. if you do regret it SOMEHOW, then just do a renewal 5 or 10 years later.

I had a small destination wedding and I don't regret a single thing about it.

Absolutely not, with a very big wedding you tend to end up with fillers. I think it is a horrible thing to have to need fillers. A friend of mine got a married recently, she makes fun of those folks she invited as fillers. It made me cringe I know I am not one of her fillers but the notion just sounds bad.

I wouldn't regret a thing about a smaller wedding.

We are strongly considering downsizing our wedding production. We have a lot going on next year also

No u would not because u can always have a big wedding 5, 10, or 15 years down the line.

I don't think so but if it's been how you envisioned your wedding and your going to feel like you settled then don't do it but there is nothing wrong with having a quaint small intimate ceremony.

I honestly would regret it as I want my day to be with all my family. I also hope that my wedding will bring my fathers side closer to me again after 16 years since he passed away.

I'm glad we didn't have a big wedding! It's hard enough doing a small one!

I have always loved the idea of a small wedding and have no regrets that my guest count is under 100.

Depends on your idea of small, we're planning to have about 80 guests which to me is considered a big wedding. I know I'd regret having a smaller wedding because I've always dreamed of something big. This is the reason we're actually not having our wedding where we live because it would end up being a really small guest list if we had it here and we wanted it big. It's really up to how you pictured it and whether you think it'll save yous stress and complications.

It would be smaller than 100 much much smaller.. like just parents, kids and siblings... no brides/groomsmen... like now i have to debate on dresses and everything.. I know this financially wise will be smarter but wondering if I'll be upset i didn't have my dream wedding.. but with this grandchild on the way I know money needs to be heading that way not to my wedding

I know I would regret it. But if you don't think you will, and you'd rather go that route then go for it

Honestly, I think I would regret it. But that is because my heart is set on it. My wedding isn't going to be big (guest count about 100 ppl), but it's going to be very nice. Since I did postpone my wedding I have been going back and forth on whether or not we should just have something simple and small. But I know I really want the nice wedding, so I would feel like I settled. But that is just me. Everyone is different. Like a few of the ladies said- if you do go that route and end up regretting it, you can always have a vow renewal in a couple years.

As someome who had a small wedding and is planning a big wedding, I would not regret it. I keep thinking about the money and how I could pay back half my student loans and that it won't make us any more married. But my MIL would murder me in cold blood if we didn't have the big wedding.

Nope, we are having a small wedding, less than 80 guests.

My cousin had a DW and to this day says it was the best decision she ever made. We have a huge family and so does her Hubby. There was no way they could afford the huge wedding and She didn't want the stress of it. Their parents and siblings were there and a couple cousins that were part of the wedding party.

Nope. My ideal wedding is me, FI and the JP. I feel like I am being forced into this 175 person event

I think it depends on what you honestly want. If you want hundreds of guests toasting, dancing, etc. because you want to be a good hostess and be the center of a lot of attention, then you might regret it.

But if you're focusing on surrounding yourself with the extra love of fewer, closer guests, then you might be fine.

Since you're wondering now if you'll regret it, I imagine you're not completely on board with a small wedding - so think about your decision carefully.

Yes, you could do a vow renewal later, but it's not the same as a first-time wedding.

If it is what you really want, then why would you regret it? Think about what you really want and if that's what you decide, then you won't have any regrets.
