Surprise More Couples Opt For Surprise Weddings

A growing trend these days is the surprise wedding. Couples who don’t want to get tied up the planning process are opting instead to throw surprise weddings with family and friends. Couples usually use the ruse of an informal party, engagement party or shower, and surprise guests with a wedding instead.

The surprise wedding eschews the traditional planning, and is often a small, casual affair. It offers the couple a way to keep the wedding plan simple, while maximizing the use of holiday time, and minimizing the cost. Often, the bride and groom inform a few close friends. In other cases, everyone is in the dark.

Recently, celebrities including Julia Roberts, Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z, Steve Martin, Usher, Mariah Carey, and Seal and Heidi Klum have all opted for surprise weddings. While celebrities typically choose surprise weddings to throw off the paparazzi, ordinary couples are more interested in taking advantage of a particular time or event where many of their friends will be gathered anyway in order to reduce costs, or celebrate two events at once.
