According to statistics from Minted, a marketplace and content site that sells wedding invitations and more, informal wedding receptions have grown 20 percent in 2024, compared with 2023.
Vishal Joshi, the chief executive of the wedding planning platform Joy, says his company has also noticed a trend toward casual or buffet-style receptions, especially in cities like New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Couples and their wedding guests can cut out a drawn-out formal meal and get straight to the partying, said Sophia Parsa, an event planner in Los Angeles.
Of the 10 weddings she has planned in the last year, only two receptions had sit-down dinners.
