Plan a Wedding for Less Than 50 People

When it comes to your wedding, bigger does not necessarily mean better. A smaller celebration of 50 people or less has many positive points, like more personal time with each guest and more options with your budget. Fewer guests means that the couple can pay attention to details that will truly make their wedding special. This doesn't mean that you won't have a tedious checklist, but planning a small wedding gives you a chance to go all out and have the wedding of your dreams.

Perform Wedding Ceremonies
Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. You do have the right to have some say as to how the wedding is performed although some of the ceremony rituals will remain the same. The officiant will know how the basic ceremony goes and he or she will ask you if there is anything you want to add or if you want to create your own vows, etc. Here are the basics on how to perform a wedding ceremony:

Plan a Wedding Rehearsal
A wedding rehearsal is usually a kick-off event the night before the wedding. The rehearsal is a chance for everyone to meet and practice for the wedding. It also gives the wedding party a chance to get to know each other. Often the wedding rehearsal is followed with dinner.

Plan a Wedding Social
A wedding social is a fundraising event with origins in Manitoba, Canada. The social is a chance for the bride and groom to raise money for their honeymoon, wedding or for any future plans such as buying a home. In return, the guests get a chance to win prizes and enjoy the social event. Wedding socials are also know as Winnipeg Socials, Manitoba Socials or Fundraising Socials.

Plan a Muslim Wedding
Muslims are followers of Islam, one of the fastest growing religions in the world. Islam considers itself to be a universal religion, with more than 1.5 billion members from all races and virtually every country on earth. Traditions like marriage vary, depending upon the sect and the culture, but Muslims are consistent in viewing marriage as a pact between the couple and Allah. There are no official clergy required to officiate at the ceremony; the only obligation is the signing of a marriage contract. Yet planning a Muslim wedding -- or any wedding, for that matter --- is never a simple affair.
