The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 did one good thing to this world and that was the emergence of small-scale weddings. As per the guidelines, all the couples marrying during lockdown were allowed to invite only 50 to 200 guests which luckily is still practised even after the virus has gone. Keeping the guest list short allows you to enjoy your special day with the close ones only and lets you save big on catering.
