Has anyone planned a microwedding in less than two months? Is it stressful? Easy?

    It can be very stress free. My friend did one in less than 30 days. She only had 4 guests and had it in her groom's parents' backyard. Only vendor was an officiant. She did her own hair and make-up. She bought flowers from a grocery store and did a diy bouquet. Her mom cooked breakfast foods to serve the 4 guests.

    I’m three weeks out from my micro wedding. Our wedding was Oct 24, 2020 but literally three weeks ago, I had a whole breakdown and we decided to change it all the way up. Our new date is now September 26, 2020 and we have cut the guest list from 175 to just 40 and everything is changing. Thankfully because most of our vendors were booked already, all but one has agreed to our new date with no hassle and no stress (we just settled an agreement with our planner which was the one and only vendor who gave us push back, we decided to dissolve our service agreement with her and will just take the L on our deposit with her)


    It is stressful. I can’t lie, there a million little details and moving parts in such a short amount of time. I have moments but overall I am at peace with our decision and I truly believe everything will work out and be the perfect plan B (well really plan c, d, and e lmao)
    I know brides who have planned their own weddings in less than 2 weeks 😱 and didn’t stress about anything!! It can be done for sure. I think I’m stressed because even though mine is a micro wedding, it’s still a larger micro wedding ..and we are now without a planner - (and also in the midst of a global pandemic) but surprisingly, I’m not melting or breaking down like I was a few weeks ago. It’s stressful but I’m ok lol

    Its stressful especially when you are changing your whole plans- guest amount, venue change, etc. It can be easy if you keep in mind, the more simple the easier it is

    We changed course last month after facing a second postponement. We’re now getting married in 3 weeks. I don’t think it has been too stressful, other than the 10 person limit we have (vendors and couple included), which made us have to ask a couple of people not to attend the ceremony. Other than that, since it’s going to be such an intimate affair, there hasn’t been much logistically speaking. Granted, our officiant and photographers from our original plans are coming with us, so we didn’t have to search for new vendors on that front, but I think it would have been doable if we had to find new vendors. Just make sure you stay organized (I love lists!) and it should be much easier!

    We started planning ours 3 mouths ahead but most of the planning was actually done in the first 6 weeks of that. It's definitely possible, but if you want it to have most of the things you'd have at a larger wedding, it is kind of stressful. That's not a reason not to do it though. It was totally worth it.

    I have and currently am 🙋🏾‍♀️. My fiancé and I decided yhat we would have a minimony 6 weeks before the date. Now we are 4 weeks out and honestly for me it isn’t stressful at all. We chose a color (different from our big wedding), I ordered a dress from amazon, my family is going to cook dinner for everyone, and we came up with a guest count of about 35. So far it’s been pretty easy. But since I started planning our big wedding almost a year ago, I knew exactly what I needed for the minimony.

    I've been planning since 2018 and just recently switched plans to have a smaller wedding. But if I were doing it all over and wanted to plan something quick now, I would definitely consider a local pop-up wedding/micro wedding package -- they offer a lot in my area and they take care of pretty much everything for you (officiant, flowers, cake, food, location, etc.).

    We did it. More venues are offering elopement packages or tiny wedding packages that are all inclusive, I’d take a look into this.

    Was just coming here to say the same thing about packages! 😂 More venues and planners are offering up minimony or elopement packages to make planning a snap. In one package you can secure your key vendors and all that’s left is to choose custom details like cake flavor and colors palette. Just depends if you value convenience or prefer to be very choosy in who you work with and what you have at your wedding.
