A shift from traditional ballrooms and 200+ guests towards more intimate affairs. Think destination weddings, smaller gatherings in picturesque locations, or even courthouse nuptials!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has only been amplified since the beginning of 2020, when COVID-19 changed the way we were able to gather with loved ones. Now, more than ever, couples are opting for a one-of-kind, intimate wedding day. Some are even choosing to elope with just a photographer and an officiant by their side!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a micro wedding might not need handwritten signs, a traditional guestbook, extensive catering, or many of the other usual requirements, there are still lots of other ways to personalize the day and share your joyful news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/prints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.snapfish-promo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WF-201948_Small_Wedding-Blog-Social-01-Placecards-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Square photo print being used as a wedding place card\" class=\"wp-image-25967\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WF-201948_Small_Wedding-Blog-Social-01-Placecards-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WF-201948_Small_Wedding-Blog-Social-01-Placecards-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WF-201948_Small_Wedding-Blog-Social-01-Placecards-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WF-201948_Small_Wedding-Blog-Social-01-Placecards-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WF-201948_Small_Wedding-Blog-Social-01-Placecards-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WF-201948_Small_Wedding-Blog-Social-01-Placecards.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-make-it-personal\"><strong>Make it personal \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a more intimate wedding ceremony, there are lots of opportunities for personal touches. With a reduced guest list, you could opt for a fresh take on placecards for seating, such as using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/prints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prints<\/a>! Select your favorite photo of the guest with the bride, groom, or both and place it on their table setting to indicate their spot. It\u2019s an easy way to make the day feel super warm + personal. Plus, this is a incredibly cost-effective option when you use the Snapfish app, since you can redeem <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/mobile-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">100 FREE prints<\/a> every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t love weddings full of photos of the happy couple through the years? You could easily create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/collage-large-print-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">custom photo collage print<\/a> (framed or unframed!) to put some of your sweetest moments on display.
