Picking Your Wedding Date

4/1/2018

 
Once you've said yes, the next most logical decision to make is "When?"  There are many considerations for you as you think of what works for your personal schedules, for family and friends traveling, busiest days of the year for your vendors, sporting events, and hey?  Even the alignment of the stars, sun and moon if you're wanting to get married outside at night.  

Planning your wedding for a long holiday weekend may sound like a good idea.  Traveling guests have time off from work.  You can visit with family and friends longer before everyone disburses to return home.  Reality?  Some hotels and  venues are booked far in advance on holiday weekends.  Caterers may be busy with non-wedding related orders.  Florists, for instance, can be incredibly busy on either side of Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day and Christmas.

Here are a few of the big days in 2018 and 2019 to consider.  Thank you to www.weddingwire.com for this list.
