Lock the ceiling before the venue
Agree a hard number with your partner and families. Micro celebrations fail when “just one more table” recreates a mid-size wedding at micro-venue prices.
Budget levers that still matter
Per-guest catering still dominates. You may spend more per person on food and experience. Track planned vs booked so intimacy does not become silent overspend.
Lean checklist
Venue, officiant or legal steps, photography, catering, attire, guest communications, day-of timeline, and thank-yous. Skip filler tasks that only exist to decorate a large reception.
How Weduler helps
Use the same couple workspace at a smaller scale: shared checklist, guest website RSVP, and seating that stays honest when every invite matters.
