The best reasons not to have evening guests at your wedding

There’s a relatively new wedding tradition on the rise – and it’s one that’s proving problematic for brides and grooms. This is that they are now obliged to invite ‘evening guests’ to their big day. These are people who – for whatever reason – aren’t asked to attend the ceremony but are invited to the celebrations later on. Thankfully, you won’t have to bother with any of this if you choose to get married in Gibraltar. After all, you can maintain a small and intimate guest list without needing to separate people into ‘evening’ or ‘day’ guests. Let’s look at three reasons why it’s better to eliminate the idea of evening guests from your wedding.

Expense

Weddings can be expensive – especially when you’re not tying the knot in a place like Gibraltar. The price only goes up when you factor in evening guests. Hitched have found that there are typically 103 evening guests compared to 82 who are there in the day. This is around 25% more people – and of course this means that your wedding can become around 25% more expensive.

Hierarchy

You risk inadvertently creating a hierarchy when you separate your guests into two distinct categories. Unfortunately, this won’t always reflect well on you and can leave people feeling bitter towards you on your big day. You don’t, of course, need this – especially since your wedding should be the happiest day of your life. This only makes it all the more enticing to do away with a huge guest list and get married in Gibraltar.

Dynamic

The dynamic between guests can be so important on your wedding day, which is why most couples like to keep the guest list down so that people can mingle and form relationships faster. It’s difficult to establish this same dynamic when you’re having heaps of people turn up later in the day. You risk throwing off the atmosphere and ruining the mood on what should be the most special day of your life.

You have options

Never forget that you have numerous options when it comes to how you get married, including the amazing prospect of getting married in Gibraltar. If you’d like to find out more information then be sure to get in touch with Sweet Gibraltar Weddings.
