A lot of pressure comes with planning a wedding. You want to put together a celebration that is fun for everyone invited — and not just fun, but the best night ever.
As it turns out, a fantastic wedding doesn't always have to involve a lot of money, a fancy venue, or a huge guest list. In fact, a glimpse through a few different Reddit threads on the subject proves the opposite: the best weddings are full of love, happiness, and a feeling of togetherness … with a few other things mixed in as well.
Over the years, a few Reddit users have shared what they think makes a good wedding. Take a look at their responses, and keep them in mind if you're planning your own big day.
"Your party is only as good as the people enjoying it."
"I find that if I'm not too close with the couple then I'm just there as a formality. But if I know the couple well, regardless of the level of quality in each piece, I have had a great time. Your party is only as good as the people enjoying it. So, if you invited too many people that were just there out of ‘consideration,' then there's a higher chance of it being lame(r)." - Redditor duderino13
"When it incorporates the couple's hobbies, interests, and just who they are."
"The best wedding I've been to was obviously low-budget, but it incorporated the (rather quirky) personalities of the couple just perfectly. For instance, the bride had just gotten her degree in chemistry, so the centerpieces used chemistry glassware instead of vases for the flowers (which were all hand-crocheted by her!)." - Redditor Yavemar
"Good food."
"It's usually the most expensive part of the wedding, but I think people should try to save money on other things and get the best food within their budget. I don't have an opinion on nice centerpieces or how much the wedding dress costs, but I always remember which weddings had good or bad food." - Redditor Book_1love
