Smaller weddings are a BIG 2025 wedding trend

There is a big trend for guest experiences for 2025 weddings and one of the best ways to do that is with smaller guest counts. There are multiple reasons why a smaller wedding would be desirable, with two main ones being meaningful connection and higher level of guest experience.

Meaningful connection comes strictly through the fact of logistics of the wedding day. Having fewer people around you gives you a greater chance of connecting with each and every one of your wedding guests and have meaningful conversations with each of them.

By having a smaller guest count, it gives you the option to stretch your budget further. One of the biggest contributing factors to budget is your guest count, as you will be paying per person for dinner and drinks and more guests mean more tablecloths, centerpieces, dishes, etc. Almost every financial factor of your wedding is dependent on guest count or bridal party numbers. So by intentionally making it smaller, you have the potential to have a higher level of guest experience without breaking the bank.
