Your wedding day should be about you and your partner. It should be a day that allows the two of you to celebrate the people you are, the journey you’ve shared as a couple, and to share that joy with the people you love.
But so many wedding days end up as these big, expensive events that look very different to what was originally planned. That could be for many reasons, such as pushy family members, budget constraints, etc.
But many people often end up tying the knot at a wedding they’re not truly happy with due to their fear of the perception. If you’re someone who’s concerned that your wedding won’t be ‘normal’ enough, we’re here to tell you to let go of those worries, and help you plan a wedding that centers you and your love properly!
Make the Theme as Niche as You Like
It doesn’t matter if you and your fiance are the only two people who have ever heard of that anime. It also doesn’t matter if you and your fiance are the only ones that enjoy that book series. It’s your wedding day, and that means you get to choose the theme, no matter how niche it seems to everyone else.
As long as you’re happy with the final look, as well as the dress code, coloring, and decor scheme, that’s really all that matters.
While it might be nice if your guests offered up a few compliments, if you’ve invited people who know you and love you, they’re going to be just as psyched that you got to theme the venue in exactly the way you like!
Only Invite the People You Genuinely Want to Attend
No one has to come that you don’t like, don’t want around, and certainly don’t want to hear negative comments from on your happy day. This is your day, and it’s up to you who you share it with.
Take that into account when you’re booking wedding venues, and someone like your own parent or your partner’s decides they know what’s best. Go your own way, do your own thing, and make sure your partner is on the same page about that fact.
You two are the couple that matters here, and that means putting your own feelings of comfort, safety, and happiness first.
Make it as Big or Small as You Like!
You don’t need the biggest guest list in the world in order to feel like your wedding is worth doing. You can invite as many or as few people as you want to the ceremony, and even more or even fewer to the after party you’ve got planned.
Whether you want a massive rager or an intimate ceremony with a selected few, make sure you go for it.
Your wedding should celebrate you and your spouse to be. Plan your wedding in the exact way that suits you; it’s your big day to remember, so make it memorable for you.
