Anytime! Here are a few tips for having a successful small wedding:

• Choose an intimate venue - Pick a location that's just the right size for your small guest list. For example, you can consider a unique venue like a garden, a gallery, a historic mansion or a cosy restaurant that reflects your style and personality.
• Keep it simple -  Hosting a small wedding allows you to focus on the details that matter most to you and have a more reasonable approach to other wedding elements. For example, if you don’t care about the food that much, consider having a buffet or a very simple menu, and if you don’t mind minimalism, you can DIY your decorations or use those guaranteed by the venue. 
• Personalise your celebration - A small wedding provides a great opportunity to add personal touches to your celebration. Write your own vows, have a special song played during the ceremony, or choose a funky theme that reflects your shared interests and tastes.
• Get your guests involved - With a smaller group of guests, you will have the chance to spend quality time with each of them. Consider having a pre-wedding gathering or post-wedding activity, so everyone can spend time together and make new memories.

According to many wedding experts, a wedding is considered small when the number of guests falls anywhere between 10 to 50. Small weddings usually have a much more intimate atmosphere, and they’re a great option for those who don’t feel comfortable around big crowds of people and value privacy. Also, they give you a chance to celebrate with everyone you care about without fearing that someone might feel left out!
