When you think about wedding ceremonies, what comes first in your mind?

Of course, it would be that massive venue where you witness a grand wedding celebration accompanied by extended buffet spreads and vibrant moments.

However, things have changed now.

Are we bidding adieu to the so-called grand wedding ceremonies?  As this pandemic goes more ‘viral’, we are restricted to celebrate most of the marriage occasions at homes. Instead of smiling faces, we are allowed to see only the mask-covered faces. To plan your big day has now become a big deal as well. You have to make it simple. Here is your guide to plan an intimate wedding at home.

It’s better to have only closed ones to add more charm to the occasion. You can rely on the live webcast to help your distant relatives to watch your intimate wedding.

Let them enjoy it live, digitally. Thematically set video invitations would be a better idea which can be the trend in the upcoming years.

You all know the situation. So, make use of social media platforms to invite those you want to be present on your wedding day. When it comes to close relatives, you can just ring them up and invite them.

(3) Create an Independent guest list

Like said above, it’s a 50 -guest wedding ceremony, but if you don’t want to miss some one for special occasions, there is an idea. Just create a different guest list. For instance, if you want to have the Mehndi ceremony, the bride can make it an event only for ladies. Likewise, you can create separate list for separate functions, only if you need such ceremonies.

And it’s the time for you to show your creative talent. That tinge of the creative aspect can create wonders whole you decorate your intimate wedding venue.

(10) Serve Quality instead of Quantity

You don’t have to set up too much food as there are very few guests. Focus on the quality of food rather than its quantity. While serving the food, make sure that the servers are geared up with much-needed amenities like gloves, shields, and masks among others. It would be better to avoid stay counters. And it is also better to offer only two or three cuisines as preparing too many dishes needs more cooks which may lead to further chaos.
