Wedding Tips – Setting the Date
It’s the day you will be celebrating for the rest of your life. The day that, hopefully, your husband won’t ever forget. Your wedding day. You may think that there is nothing to choosing the day, but there are many factors to think about.
1. Are your vendors, or any vendors for that matter, available?
If you choose to set a date which is in the very near future, you narrow your choices on pretty much everything. So, if you set a quick date, you can’t be picky about anything else
2. Any chance of natural disaster?
If you choose a date in the dead of winter, you may risk their being inclement weather. In the spring, a lot of rain. Weigh the consequences. I hope no one had a wedding planned this past weekend on the west coast – chances are no one came due to the snowpocalypse
3. Any conflicts?
I always thought I wanted a fall wedding. Until I met my football fanatic husband. Now, don’t get me wrong, he would have given up football for our wedding. But I was thinking down the road to our 7th anniversary when I want to go somewhere, and he wants to make sure his fantasy team is going to dominate. So we decided to get married in the Spring
4. Is there a significant date in your life?
Whether it be a grand-parents anniversary, the day you started dating, your favorite number, etc. choosing a significant date in your life may be the way to go.
5. Is it on a weekend?
You can save a lot of money by having your wedding on a Wednesday, but will anyone come? Also, people will not stay late and have as good of a time at a reception if they have to go to work the next day.
Remember, this is a day you will be celebrating for the next 50 or so years, so make sure it’s the right date!
