Fiance and I had originally planned on a “normal” wedding with around 80 guests and using a rather large venue. After the stresses we have perpetually ran into with our families, and just wedding planning in general, we have been discussing a minimony instead. Our plan is to invite our immediate families only, plus a couple of our best friends as our bridesmaids and groomsmen. There would be about 48 people in total. I have some questions for those who have had a minimony or who are planning on having one.
1) Is it still considered a minimony with our guest count? I need to know cause I expect push back from our families, they want us to have a bigger wedding. But if I can explain the concept of a minimony then maybe they’ll get it.
2) Is it generally the same as a normal wedding, just smaller? Like playing music down the aisle and cute decor?
3) Since it’s more informal, is it ok to have laid back food like sandwiches and finger foods?
I feel like we would be so much happier with a minimony than a big wedding. Planning has been so stressful - I’m not even looking forward to our original wedding plans. I think a minimony is for us
