I still don’t have an exact answer to this question but I do know that I want to get married in the summer of 2010 on a Saturday night. This is hardly an original idea.
Over 50 percent of weddings take place between July and September, with the vast majority of them on a Saturday night. Sure it’s cheaper to get married on a Wednesday night in January but to me that just seems like a decision that you’re going to regret.
If you’re like me and you want a summer wedding, book as early as possible, particularly if you have your heart set on a certain date at a certain venue. Ideally, it’s nice to be flexible, to be able to go to a venue and say, “Here’s the month(s) that I’d like to get married in. What do you have free?”
But if you are determined to get married on a specific date, try not to get too set on a certain venue, just in case you’re not able to get your way on both items.
Here are a few more tips on picking a date:
- Decide what’s more important to you and your other half: the perfect date or the perfect venue
- There’s much debate on whether picking a long weekend is a good idea or not. I say that unless it’s a destination wedding, don’t schedule your big day on a long weekend, it’ll annoy too many guests
- Having your wedding on or around certain religious holidays might also annoy your guests so if you’re friends with or related to believers, check the appropriate religious calendars before picking your date
- But if it’s soccer that your guests worship, make sure to not schedule from June 11, 2010 to July 11, 2010, when the World Cup is in progress
- Planning an outdoor wedding? Then you might want to pick up a copy of the Farmer’s Almanac
- If you’re trying to save cash, pick a day in January-April, the wedding low season
- More cash can be saved by picking any date other than Saturday
