subject: How To Pick The Best Wedding Date [print this page] You should first consider the season you want to get married in. things like the lushness and beauty of spring flowers or the warmth of summer or the coziness of fall or even the winter wonderland are all worth considering. Remember that occupation also count when selecting a wedding date, summer is good for teachers and spring out for accountants.
Day of the Week
Do you certainly want a Saturday wedding, or do you want to save money by having it on a Sunday or weekday? Do religious observances, like the Jewish or Christian Sabbaths mean that either Saturday or Sunday weddings aren't an option? If most of your wedding guests are in town and not traveling, you might also consider having a weekday wedding, when there will be discounts and more access of premium locations and vendors.
Marking Unique Occasions with Your Wedding Date
Many couples love the idea of getting married on Valentine's Day (February 14th), or The Sweetest Day (October 18th). You could get married on the anniversary of the day you met, or honor your parents or grandparents by choosing their wedding date. (If your parents are divorced, you probably don't want to make them uncomfortable by getting married on their wedding date.) You could get married on one of your birthdays.
Duration of wedding
A year is a good amount of time to plan a wedding, while not stressing out. Other people think that spending an entire year is unnecessary and torturous. It's certainly possible to have a very short engagement or one that spans several years.
Prioritize Your Desires
You may have to make some hard choices. If one of you really wants to get married on your wedding anniversary, but it falls on a Friday, and the other really wants a Saturday evening wedding, you're going to need to find a compromise. Each of you should rank what is most important to you. Perhaps there's something else that one of you wants that you can trade for your choice of wedding date.
Note Dates to avoid
The last thing you want to do is have your wedding on Super Bowl Sunday, or on an significant religious holiday. You want wedding guests to be happily present, not resentful or secretly listening to the big game.
Consult Key Participants
If your sister will be in the midst of college finals, or your parents will be in Timbuktu, that's not a good wedding date. Don't worry about too many people, only those who absolutely must be there.
Check with Your Favorite Wedding Locations and Vendors
If you really want your wedding ceremony at your church, or the reception at your town's most beautiful hall, you'll want to make sure they're available before you start sending out Save the Dates.
Most people won't change their wedding date just because their favorite photographer isn't available, but if that's significant to you, you'll want to book him or her first before finalizing your wedding date. Not having the very best location or vendor won't mean disaster, but their availability is at least something to consider.
