With a lingering coronavirus pandemic and a move towards embracing change, some couples are switching from a traditional wedding ceremony to a minimony instead.<\/p>\n<p>But what is a minimony? And why are they so popular? Let\u2019s take a look at this fun new twist on a wedding ceremony.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.csaz1xlgvxsu\"><strong>What Is a Minimony?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A minimony is a sweet word to describe a smaller, more intimate wedding that takes place on your planned wedding date. It\u2019s a mini wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Most couples plan a minimony when they can no longer stage their grand wedding day on the same date. This is often due to situations outside our control, like the social distancing measures put in place due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, or unexpected budget reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Hosting this mini ceremony is a lovely way to mark your planned wedding date with legally binding or ceremonial nuptials. It\u2019s a small-scale wedding celebration, often with an unusual twist or a fun take on saying &#8220;I do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.b1dwmy7jb6m0\"><strong>Minimony vs. Micro Wedding vs. Elopement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_8719\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8719\" class=\"wp-image-8719\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-1090.png\" alt=\"minimony: Bold Botanical Invitation by Greenvelope\" width=\"400\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-1090.png 550w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-1090-264x300.png 264w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8719\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design: Signature Greenvelope<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You might be wondering how a minimony is different from a micro wedding or elopement. While these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there are a few subtle differences.<\/p>\n<p>A minimony is typically a mini version of a wedding, hosted on your original wedding date. There\u2019s then a larger \u201csequel\u201d wedding planned for the future. The sequel wedding will have a larger guest list and usually look more like the traditional wedding ceremony you originally planned.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/micro-wedding\">Micro weddings<\/a>\u00a0are intentionally small weddings. With the micro wedding, there\u2019s no follow-up wedding date. It\u2019s simply an intimate, cozy gathering of people to witness the marriage of a couple.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/elopement-ideas\">elopements<\/a>\u00a0are when a couple takes off somewhere and weds in secret. These days, couples often invite a handful of witnesses to join them in eloping \u2014 like young children or their parents. Elopements feel more spontaneous, intimate, and laid back than a minimony.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.9obvm7o90he5\"><strong>Great Reasons To Host a Minimony<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you can\u2019t go ahead with your original plans, a minimony is the perfect alternative. Here are a few reasons why a minimony is such a lovely idea.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.p6jjql4nyne3\"><strong>Celebrate On Your Original Wedding Date<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes life throws us a curveball and we can\u2019t host our wedding on the date that we\u2019d planned. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/designs\/wedding-save-the-dates\">save the dates<\/a>\u00a0already sent to friends and family, many couples now opt to host a minimony instead of sending out a postponement notice.<\/p>\n<p>A minimony gives you the chance to tie the knot \u2014 legally or ceremonially \u2014 on a date that holds significance for you. You can host a small-scale version of a wedding, with only a handful of guests, then celebrate on a bigger scale at a later date.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.ds2i2saurhz7\"><strong>Get the Best of Both Worlds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most couples who opt for a minimony bring everyone together later in the year or on their anniversary date for a \u201csequel\u201d wedding. This celebration will look like the original wedding that was planned \u2014 with a bigger venue, larger guest count, and plenty of entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Minimonies work great for couples who want intimacy as well as a party atmosphere. You can get married in front of a handful of your closest friends and family members, then host a second, larger wedding where you can focus more on mingling with guests than remembering your vows.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.mupe9m36kqpf\"><strong>Do Something a Little Unusual<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_8718\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8718\" class=\"wp-image-8718\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-1089.png\" alt=\"minimony: Llama Love Invitation by Greenvelope\" width=\"400\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-1089.png 550w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-1089-230x300.png 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design: Sogi\u2019s Honey Bakeshop<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A minimony is often the result of an unexpected change in plans. People don\u2019t go into wedding planning with a minimony in mind \u2014 even if they originally planned a small wedding.<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s unexpected, a minimony is the perfect opportunity to have fun and do something different than a traditional wedding. Instead of hosting your ceremony at a courthouse or local vineyard, why not opt for your favorite bookstore or arcade instead?<\/p>\n<p>You could keep things really casual with a small garden party ceremony in your parents\u2019 backyard, with homemade lemonade, ice-cream, and cupcakes instead of a catered meal. On the other end of the spectrum, you can go extravagant and whisk just a few loved ones away to a luxury home rental for a sophisticated ceremony and afterparty.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.jmx9sca51grj\"><strong>Our Best Minimony Planning Tips and Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Planning a minimony doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. Your plans might have changed, but with a few small tweaks you can bring the magic of your planned ceremony to a smaller audience. Here are a handful of our best minimony planning tips and ideas.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.e4ohg2bb8k3b\"><strong>Keep It Simple<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With things up in the air, switching to a minimony can feel like a big task \u2014 especially if you had your heart set on celebrating with a grand celebration on your wedding date.<\/p>\n<p>Stay calm, focus on your love story, and keep it simple. Don\u2019t put pressure on yourself to create a magical event for everyone. Instead, pick out a handful of details that\u2019ll really make your minimony feel special to you.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you splurge on more gorgeous blooms from a local florist, or work with a local chocolatier to create amazing party favors. You could even make your wedding dress or suit the star of the show by wearing something unexpected, or switching into something fun for your first dance.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.9w6268gefmi3\"><strong>Invite a Handful of Guests<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Minimonies are small by nature, with most couples keeping the guest list around 20 or fewer. As such, you\u2019ll need to pare your guest list down considerably, but there\u2019s still space for your immediate family.<\/p>\n<p>Having close friends and family members there on the day will help your minimony feel more like your planned big wedding ceremony. Plus, with only your closest loved ones there, it\u2019ll feel all the more special.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.wu0r3iwx0d6o\"><strong>Find the Perfect Officiant<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With so few people at your minimony, the ones who are there really count. And that includes the officiant you choose, if you\u2019re opting for a legally binding ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Spend some time scouting out the perfect officiant for your minimony. If you can\u2019t meet them for coffee, you can speak online for a virtual meeting to get a feel for their personality. Or, how about choosing a friend or relative to serve as the officiant? Having a personal connection to the person presiding over the ceremony is yet another way to make your day more magical.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.tm436v1x9kab\"><strong>Book a Talented Photographer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_8720\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8720\" class=\"wp-image-8720\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-1091.png\" alt=\"We Couldn't Wait Announcement by Greenvelope\" width=\"400\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-1091.png 550w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-1091-258x300.png 258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8720\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design: Signature Greenvelope<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Your wedding ceremony might be smaller than planned, but that doesn\u2019t make it any less meaningful or memorable. Make sure you capture every moment of your special day on camera by booking a talented wedding photographer.<\/p>\n<p>Choose a photographer who specializes in photographing smaller ceremonies, elopements, and micro weddings. They\u2019ll know how to capture images full of atmosphere and energy, even with a small audience. If there\u2019s room in your budget, book a wedding videographer too. It\u2019s a lovely way to capture your day in motion, so you can look back on it forever.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.rwq0o2ds3jhe\"><strong>Share Your Minimony With Loved Ones <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A minimony is a small ceremony with an even smaller guest list, which means you can\u2019t send out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/designs\/wedding-invitations\">wedding invitations<\/a>\u00a0to your full guest list. But the great news is that you can still involve everyone by sharing the day with them in a handful of different ways.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re feeling up for it and have a techy friend around to help with setup, create a livestream for your event. Send out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\">online invitations<\/a>\u00a0to loved ones who can\u2019t make your minimony with a link to watch the stream on the big day.<\/p>\n<p>If livestreaming isn\u2019t your thing, capture the day as it happens and encourage guests to share on social media with a hashtag. After the event, you can create a gallery and share it with friends and family members.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.q7uaxxmvw6gv\"><strong>Plan a Minimony You\u2019ll Remember Forever<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A minimony might not have been part of your original wedding plans, but it could be the perfect way to celebrate on a date that\u2019s close to your heart. With our planning tips and ideas, you\u2019ll be able to take your ideas and recreate them on a smaller scale to create a special day you\u2019ll always treasure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t be disheartened if you can\u2019t have the big wedding you planned.
