In the Philippines, our strong kinship ties with extended family makes large, elaborate weddings fairly common. Not only do engaged couples have to worry about not offending a distant great-aunt by forgetting to send a wedding invite - coworkers, neighbors, and former classmates are also considered in the guest list. The problem with large weddings is that the couple might find themselves still paying for it months after the event. It is also difficult to mingle and spend time with your guests with so many of them in attendance.
Small weddings are becoming more acceptable these days and if you’re the type who enjoys more intimate and personal events, then this might be the best type of wedding for you. Small weddings don’t necessarily mean informal; it does not even have to be cheap. It simply means inviting less guests, which will definitely cost you a lot less than if you were to hold a wedding party for a larger number.
With fewer guests to attend to, the bride and groom can dedicate more of their energy and creativity into specific aspects of the wedding - especially if money is not an issue. Small weddings will give the couple an opportunity to spend a lot on a few guests than spend conservatively on many. For instance, if you’ve always wanted to get married by the seaside, holding a small wedding at Boracay will be more feasible if you invite only close family members and friends. A shorter guest list will also give you the chance to spend time talking to the people who you genuinely care about and want to be with on this special day.
Remember, before anything else, weddings are a celebration of love. Inviting only a few friends and family members who have meaningful relationships with you will make the event more memorable and intimate than a large wedding.

I can agree some what that a small wedding can be advantageous, but I’ve all wanted to treat my girl to a large wedding she deserves it we’ve been through it thick, thin and whatever. I can’t wait to see her walking down the isles.
