Small weddings at event centers in Mission, TX are beautiful and intimate, but some brides and grooms might worry that because of their size they feel less special than big weddings. There are easy ways to make sure that small weddings feel big and special, like these helpful tips and ideas:

• Rent a Photo Booth – Small weddings make it imperative for all the guests to spend time with each other, but some shy friends and family members might need an extra push to get involved and have fun. A great way to get people to let loose and have fun is to set up a photo booth. You can rent a professional photo booth, or you can set one up yourself. All you have to do is put up a fun background, lay out some silly props, and set up a camera. 
• Create Custom Cocktails – Large weddings mean busy bars, making it difficult for bar tenders to make custom or specialty cocktails. But smaller weddings are a perfect opportunity to make custom cocktails. Create your own special drinks, update classics with your own twist, or serve timeless cocktails that need a lot of prep. 
• DIY Decorations – DIY decorations are great for many ways. First, they can help you save a lot of money. Second, they allow you to get creative. And third, they’re perfect for adding personality and a special touch to your event. Your guests will feel even more special if they know that you crafted the decorations yourself. 
• Set Up a Unique Guest Book – Guest books are a traditional way for guests to sign their names and leave special messages for the new couple. Why not take the tradition and make it more unique and fun for you and your partner? Look for different takes on the traditional guest book. For example, you can have guests sign a photo matte that you can use for a picture from the wedding. You can also get custom art for a guest book or have people sign other interesting items. 
• Hire a Live Band – If you’re having a small wedding, you might have a bit more wiggle room in your budget for live entertainment since you’re saving on food, drinks, and space. Live bands are always fun, but they can be especially fun at smaller weddings as they get inspire the guests to get up, dance, and have a good time.  

Small weddings can be just as fun as big ones, especially if you include some creative takes on wedding traditions and make your big day just as special as you and your partner.
