Quick Turnaround Weddings: Cost-Effective and Less Stressful!
We all have different names for it. Quick turnaround weddings, flash weddings, shotgun weddings – a wedding in a short time period!
You are engaged and looking at all the different options for your wedding: consider a quick turnaround wedding. The average engagement time is 12-18 months, but there are a lot of benefits to getting married in the 3-6 months after you get engaged! Quick turnaround weddings can be more budget friendly, make it easier to pick out a wedding date, and can be less stressful than planning a wedding farther out!
Budget Friendly
Short term, or quick turnaround weddings can have a significant impact on a wedding budget, making your wedding more budget friendly! Venues and vendors on shorter timelines, along with skipping other wedding events can make your wedding cheaper than it would be on a more traditional 12-18 month timeline. Venues and vendors can offer discounted rates or minimums for weddings only a few months away. You can also skip things like bachelor or bachelorette parties in favor of welcome parties or group activities during the wedding week!
Availability
Finding a date that works for your wedding can be tricky, especially with venue requirements for wedding sizes. With quick turnaround weddings, venues can have flexibility on wedding requirements. That means they may have available dates and times that normally would not be offered based on the size of your wedding as well as other requirements!
While planning a wedding in a short amount of time sounds like it would be stressful, venues and other vendors may know other vendors or have in-house options for things normally planned by you! You can ask your venue for recommended vendors, suggestions on wedding details, and options for your wedding!
Less Stress!
Shortening the wedding timeline also gives you an opportunity to pick and choose the wedding-adjacent activities! Weddings can bring bachelor and bachelorette parties, bridal showers, welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, and more. With quick turnaround weddings, you have the opportunity to just focus on a select few. Which is both less stressful and budget friendly! You can opt for a few days of activities for your wedding guests! Host a welcome party and local activities, rather than weekend getaway bachelor and bachelorette parties or a bridal shower.
