Micro weddings provide a large scope for customization. Hence you must make the most of having a limited number of guests and make them feel special with some thoughtful value additions. A great way of doing that is incorporating inclusive menus. This not only takes care of their preferences, distinct tastes and culinary choice but also looks after their food allergies, health requirements and personal beliefs. Your guests will certainly be touched by this caring gesture and you’ll be proud as hell for giving them a deliciously pleasant memory!
3. Personalized Wedding Favours

We’re certain if anyone was to mention that they have a separate allocated budget for the safety department of their wedding a few years from now, it would send chuckles and giggles down. But not anymore, certainly not in the covid-19 world. Hence we urge you to take this aspect seriously. With micro weddings in, you certainly do much more to ensure top-notch safety measures for your wedding. You can even have a department set-up that can look after waste disposal, venue sanitization, staff hygiene standards, display of venue maps with fire exits, emergency safety and health kit, installation of sanitizer booths and so much more! If you’ve got everything well so far, you don’t want to ruin it all for not incorporating something this essential.
On that note, we hope you get cracking your dream micro wedding with plenty of ideas and inspiration that were up for grabs in here!
