Tips & Warnings
Trade quantity for quality. With fewer guests, you can spend more on invitations, the wedding or reception dinner and wedding reception favors.
Consider creating a Web site of your wedding. A virtual wedding, with pictures of the ceremony and other special touches, allows you to have small wedding and still indulge in your desire to let everyone in the world share in your big day.
The people who were left out of your wedding may feel slighted or resentful that they didn't get an invitation.
