Young couples are opting for casual micro-weddings. Is this financial pragmatism or rejection of perfectionism?

What's one wedding tradition you'd happily ditch?

Gen Z weddings tend to be more stress-free than Millennials’ because Gen Z values authenticity, budget-consciousness, and simplicity. They like micro-weddings, and non-traditional venues over extravagant affairs, often ditching outdated traditions in favor of experiences that reflect their true personalities.

Gen Z has a small circle, they don't have a lot of friends, they have no contacts with their extended family, thus, they do not have a lot of people to invite for their wedding. There are also into hustle culture, so they don't have a lot of cash reserve to spend.

That’s a thoughtful observation. Gen Z’s smaller social circles and limited family ties often mean intimate weddings with fewer guests. Combined with hustle culture’s financial pressures, many prefer low-key, meaningful celebrations over large, costly events. Quality over quantity defines their approach.

Well i believe Gen Z go for casual micro weddings because of their smaller social circle and also because of financial aspects due to the bad state of the economy.

Gen Z is known for its DIY spirit and willingness to incorporate personal touches into their weddings, which can reduce the reliance on expensive vendors and create a more relaxed, unique event.
