Do i need to indicate that it's a micro-wedding on the website?

Layla, on November 14, 2021 at 11:39 AM Posted in Planning 0 7

I mailed out invitations last week and am texting welcome dinner invite today. In the text I'm going to ask people to RSVP on the wedding website, and include the link in the text. Do I need to explain on the website that it's a micro-wedding? There are only 20 guests and they all know it's a small wedding, but I'm getting feedback saying I need to include it.

    Hi ! I wouldn't mention it I think. You can talk about it with people, but they don't really have to know in advance...?

    I wouldn't think so, why should it matter to anyone? Word of mouth is your friend in this case!

    We didn't say it was a microwedding on our invitations. When people would ask our guest count we'd tell them it was small or under 25 guests. I'd include what type of attire you'd like your guests in but not that it's a microwedding.

    I can't imagine why you would need to disclose this, other than if it comes up in conversation. Small weddings have always been completely acceptable (they used to just be called small weddings, until the term "microwedding" was recently invented). What reason are people giving in their feedback that is making you worry about this?

    I can’t imagine why that needs to be posted. The size of the guest list is no one’s business except the couple getting married who are signing contracts and paying bills.

    The reason is ‘so that people aren’t surprised when they get there and there’s only 20 people there’

    OK. Go ahead and do so if you want. It's not like it's wrong to tell them. But wedding guests don't need advance notice about the size of the party. I literally can't picture a situation where this kind of "surprise" would be a bad thing. But you know your guests best.
