Cupid’s Advice:
If a big wedding at a fancy venue isn’t your style, why not consider getting hitched in your own backyard? Here are some perks of having your wedding at home:
1. It’s easy to plan: Getting married at your house eliminates the need to search for the perfect spot to say your vows. Sure, you’ll still need to find a caterer and other vendors, but securing the location is always step one! Plus, you don’t have to worry about your favorite locale being booked on the date you want.

3. There are no restrictions: A lot of venues will put a cap on the number of guests you can invite or force the party to end by midnight. Getting hitched at your house means the sky is the limit!
