In these tough economic times, you might be re-thinking your wedding budget. One way to keep your expenses in line and still have the things you’ve always dreamed of is to limit your guest list. An intimate wedding will allow you to splurge on that designer dress or any other element that is important to you. IntimateWeddings.com offers tons of great ideas for an intimate wedding. There are lots of articles and real weddings to inspire you. Christina Friedrichsen, owner of Intimate Weddings and author of Intimate Weddings: Planning a Small Wedding that Fits Your Budget and Style had a small wedding herself and wants to offer her expertise to other brides considering this option.

At IntimateWeddings.com, couples can find unique wedding venues available only to those with smaller guest lists. Quaint bed and breakfasts and inns, cozy restaurants and galleries and many other unique locations throughout North America can be found on the site.

Aside from a wedding venue finder which lists more than 1,300 wedding venues, the site also offers help with everything from creating a meaningful intimate ceremony, to how to tell guests they are not invited. It also offers moral support.

If you’ve decided to have an intimate wedding we would love to hear your plans! Good luck!
