Do you Prefer Large Weddings or Small Weddings?

I prefer a small wedding. First of all, receptions cost money, and people make too big a deal out of weddings. I think it's a personal and private time for family and close friends. It's also a financial request to people - as they are expected to bring gifts. So inviting people you aren't truly close to is a little off base to me.

I prefer a small wedding with close friends and family!

I personally would prefer a small wedding but sometimes large weddings are a necessity for fulfilling social obligations. I would rather spend on my family than arranging a large wedding.

I think that small weddings are better because they cost less and they are more intimate. Marriage and a wedding should not be an opportunity to show off and impress the world, it shuld be an expression of the personal feelings that the couple has for eachother. My sister only had about 40 people at her wedding, and my mother only had about 20. They were very nice celebrations.

Small Weddings with friends and family

Small weddings only. As long as its memorable for both of us.

Small one.I am sick and tired of all theese too demonstrative and bright ceremonies when you invite 200 guests and you dont know most of them.This is deeply intimate event, so it`s better to share it just with people who are close to you and your spouse.

I prefer somewhere in the middle. I am in the process of planing a wedding and am gonna invite all our friends and family but I think it gets to be too much when you start inviting obscure people you bumped into one or twice. I mean you dont have to invite the guy who bikes down your street everyday or anything like that.

For myself I would prefer a small wedding. In fact my husband and I got married in a courthouse with just my Mom and a few close friends. I would rather use the money for something else.

I have to say that "small" does not necessarily mean "intimate". I had an "intimate" wedding with about 400 invited guests. Other people may think that it's a large number, but they actually consisted of people who were close to us. We both have large extended families, so more than half of the invited guests WERE family. We are also already 34 when we got married, so that means that we have accumulated quite a number of good friends. The ceremony which was held in a chapel just enough for our guests was very personal, moving and very "intimate". Nobody there was a mere aquaintance. There were a few guests of parents and grandparents, but we also knew them.

For me,i prefer to a large weddings because its a special day for me so i will make my wedding to be memorable all my friends and relatives are invited and including the grooms friends and relatives.I will be get married at the right time when we do have our own house and stable job.And thats the time i can afford to have a large wedding.

Now a days, having a large wedding is so expensive. I am a very practical person so I prefer to have a wedding with a simple one. Having it with some close friends, relatives and family. What counts to me most is that you're wed and blessed by the priest. Better use the money in buying what you need to start a family. Indeed it's just once for a woman's/man's life but life is getting harder and harder. I'm not in favor to have a loan just to have a big wedding just like other's do for it's hard to pay bills all at the same time. What's important is that you have each other and really work hard to make it work.
