Tips to Reduce Your Wedding Stress
Wedding planning is an inherently stressful time for engaged couples. From family drama to large expenditures, there are a variety of stressors added to regular life. Add on top of it all COVID and the idea of shutdowns and rescheduling, it’s no wonder that people are looking for ways to make the process easier and stress-free! We love how small weddings can reduce the anxiety and alleviate stress for our brides and grooms in a number of ways. Here’s four ways Meander Gatherings helps mitigate stress for you on your wedding day!
1. Smaller Guest Lists
The smaller your guest list, the less stressed you’ll be! Need to blame someone for the small invite-only list? No problem. Tiny weddings typically have a set maximum guest list because they’re designed to include only the most important people in your lives. Trust us, your 15 cousins, Aunt Mildred’s step daughter and the crying twins you’ve never met will definitely add to the chaos of your day. The smaller guest list also means fewer complications and fewer chances of COVID cases within the party. Our smaller intimate settings mean you get the opportunity to spend more time with the people that matter too! No rushing around to talk to everyone under the sun. Truly be present on your day with the ones that matter most.
2. HUGE Cost Savings
Smaller weddings mean smaller costs. You don’t need to spend $75 per plate for 300 people. You don’t need a huge venue location. You don’t need 6+ hours of photography. Spending your money in a more effective manner on the wedding means you don’t need to stress about the financial impact of the large wedding. We are firm believers in knowing exactly what everything is going to cost upfront, and including it all in our packages. Check out exactly what is included in the package price for our small weddings here.
3. Fewer Details to Lose Sleep Over
When it comes to planning a tiny wedding, you have far less to worry about because the bridal to-do list is significantly smaller too! You have fewer centerpieces, smaller seating charts (if any!), fewer vendors, and fewer logistical nightmares. With Meander Gatherings, we take it one step further with our couples. We actually take over the planning process completely. You get an officiant, photographer, decorator and planner all-in-one! We take the wedding planning off your plate entirely so you can focus on the rest of your life instead of being stressed out about wedding planning.
4. One-Stop-Shop
With many micro weddings, the couples might still be responsible for selecting a photographer as well as a host of other vendors. You still need a place to have the wedding. Places for your guests to sit. Flowers and food also need to be coordinated. That’s why we’ve made it simple to plan a small wedding. We want you to be able to communicate your likes to one person and be done. You only deal with Meander Gatherings. Show up with your marriage license and that’s it!
