Which is better a large or small wedding?  email this discussion to a friend?

Might be getting married soon and I was wondering how my fellow "Lotters" might go about it. Should I have a large or a small wedding? A large wedding is nice because it is beatiful to have a lot of people clebrate with you but then again in todays economy it could be too costly. Then if you go with a smaller wedding you save a lot of money but then it seems like you are being to cheap. What do you veterans have to say on this topic?

Hi there!

Congratulations! If I have the means, I will go for a large, grand wedding but if I don't then a small, simple ceremony will do as long as my loved ones will be present in the said ceremony and celebration.

I agree. it depends on you both, try to discuss this matter, considering your financial capability and your preferences.

Ofcourse, who else does not want a grand celebration in this special day? But you have to consider your priority and be wise on spending.

I've been married a couple of times and the best wedding I had was my last one. It was a small outdoor wedding...just family and close friends...and everyone had a great time. My first wedding was huge, cost a fortune and it was soooo stressful, both before and during the event. I couldn't talk to anyone for more than 3 seconds before I had to do something...the entire thing was a blur. But, your wedding day is a special day and you and your fiance should have the kind of wedding that you want to have.

Hmm, It is not about saving the money. Having simple wedding ceremony will be fine. No matter whether it is large or small wedding. The importance is that the couple must get along well until the end. Wedding is just an evidence that both of you are already engage. Having small wedding is good to avoid hassle unlike large wedding which you need to invite many peoples and maybe you don't have spare hands to accomodate them...hehe

It depends really on the budget.

But what will really matter most is you and your husband.

It's also nice to see that you both know the people present there in that wedding.

If I were to choose, I'd like a small one or a medium sized one provided that all those who attended there knows me and my partner and not just someone who was there to look or take turns criticizing our wedding.

I'm not a veteran, lol. But here's what I have to say.. I guess the always option is to have a smaller wedding because it will cost you less. And a smaller wedding is more intimate wherein only all the important people are going to be there. But then again, a wedding is a once in a lifetime thing and maybe it's not also bad to have a bigger wedding. It also depends how many important people you want to invite. But the most important thing is make sure you, your groom and your guests have fun!

I would prefer a small fancy wedding than a big wedding. However I have lots of relatives and they will be angry and upset if I don't invite them for the wedding. So, there is no chance for a small wedding for me.

hmm..it depends on your budget, how much do u have ? and also depends on your need, do u need a prestige wedding party or as long as it sacred, that's the most ? if u need it as a prestige party, then yes u should have a large wedding..but if sacred is your purpose, then u can have a small or regular wedding that filled with people u loved the most..wedding is not about being cheap or being rich and famous..
