With an extra charm due to its minimalism, the mini wedding has become a fever among brides who prefer a more intimate celebration.

That is why you will find everything you need to know when planning yours!
What is a miniwedding?
Translated, miniwedding means "mini wedding" and refers precisely to the size of the event, since it fits for celebrations that receive up to 100 guests.
Moreover, what characterizes this type of event is the fact that they are more intimate and cozy weddings where there is a lot of closeness between bride and groom and guests.
How to organize a mini-wedding
Just like a conventional wedding, a mini wedding requires a lot of attention to every detail in order for everything to come out as expected by the bride and groom, so pencil and paper in hand to write down valuable tips when planning yours.
Guest List
Remember that the mini wedding is an intimate event for a smaller amount of guests, so when it comes time to make the list the bride and groom need to be in line as to what names will be listed. Don't worry, this list will probably be revised a few good times, and that's one of the most fun parts.
Local
For those who will have the ceremony at the venue, it is necessary to check if there is a space designated for this purpose. If it is only for the party, the attention can be directed to the details of the structure of the house according to the desired decoration. And remember to book in advance so as not to run the risk of missing the desired date.
Date and time
It is important to remember that weddings during the week require more maneuvering by guests and groomsmen, and therefore the schedule should be thought taking into account the weekday factors. Remember to always check for upcoming holidays to be able to count on everyone's presence.
Invitations
Because it is a special event, the invitation must arrive to the guests at least 30 days before the event. Consider this deadline when choosing the supplier that will produce the invitations, taking into account the production and delivery time.
Menu
The choice of menu must consider the taste of the bride and groom but also be pleasing to the guests, so take into consideration some points in every detail.
Food
In more formal events, appetizers are usually served first and then dinner, where there is the option for guests to serve themselves or to receive at their tables plates already prepared, according to the menu available. In not so formal events, cocktails followed by finger foods are a great alternative for those who want a more relaxed but still plentiful option.
Drinks
Considering the diversity of people invited, have varied options, from soft drinks to natural juices. The alcoholic beverages usually follow the personal taste of the bride and groom, but the most traditional are beer, sparkling wine and whiskey. For wine lovers, serving the guests with their favorite label is usually a great bet. Remember to calculate the drinks consideringa leftover.
Dessert
The cake is the main item not only for decoration, but also when serving the guests. Therefore, choose carefully the flavor of the dough and filling. Sweets and chocolates are indispensable when decorating the table and are available for the guests at the end of the party. Besides the more differentiated flavors, try to opt for the more traditional ones in order to please everyone.
Budget
Search for various budgets, considering not only the price but mainly the quality of the services. The anticipation will also help you to get better forms of payment or discounts, since the earlier contracts are closed, the better your financial organization until the dreamed day.
Costumes
For the more traditional or more modern brides, the choice of dress is one of the greatest expectations. Choose first the style of your dress and then look for stores that can offer models that are compatible with your taste. For bridesmaids, it is good to guide you on what you are thinking about the dress, either color or model. The groomsmen usually use a standard model ofsuit/smoking suit that can be indicated by the bride and groom after choosing it in a store. If you want to advise the guests about the costume, include a note about it in the invitation.
Decoration
Usually the most dreamed of by brides, the decoration is what enchants not only the guests but also the bride and groom. Whether you do it yourself or with the help of a consultant, try to bring personal touches to the decoration in order to remind the couple and the guests of their memories, since the mini wedding suggests a more intimate and cozy event. Think about the place chosen for the party and make possible the elements thatDon't forget to also think about the decoration of the church or the ceremony site.
Soundtrack
The soundtrack needs to take into consideration the moments lived by the bride and groom, in order to share these emotions musically with the guests. Select special music for the entrance of the groom, groomsmen, parents and especially the bride. The couple's first dance also deserves a special and romantic song.
