Weekday wedding?

[Queen]

Yes or no?

What do you think of them?

DP and I want to get married on the day we met and next year it is a Thursday, what do you think?

What day did you get married? why???

Thanks;)

They are a lot more economical and if it suits you then I think it's a good idea.

You will always get people who complain how it inconveniences them! (they can choose to come or not!) What time of day would you make it - late arvo/early evening, that would cause less hassle I'm guessing.

Oh, we got married on a Saturday, cos it was the done thing 'back in those days' ;) But had a morning wedding.

My brother and his wife got married on a Monday. Suited them well as they are both teachers, and most of their family and friends actually work in education as well and most are based in schools. They got married the first Monday of the September holidays which gave them the weekend to prepare then the rest of the holidays to honeymoon. No one complained about it being on a Monday, and no one complained about travel and accommodation since it was at the Island so Ferry and motel as well as the cost for people to travel from different parts of the country. It was perfect.

The main thing is, it is your day and you have to do what you want to do.

We are getting married on a Wednesday.

Why?: because we are eloping to Fiji and every day is the same when you are on holiday.

I have been to a wedding on a Friday. It was fabulous.

I got married on a Friday,only because our venue was booked out for Saturdays around the time we wanted it.
The only prob with having a weekday wedding is ppl having to take the day off work,and then they are probably too hungover to work the next day:laughing:
I think getting married on the day you met is sweet:valentine:

Probably a bit soon though. Might want to at least go out on a couple of dates first :p :laughing: ;)

I wouldn't have a problem going to a wedding on a Weekday, Friday is a good idea, then it gives the guests the weekend to recover from the good time :yes:

I say do what you want, you can't please all the people all the time & lets face it the people you want to be there will make it work whenever you decide :yes: and the others who feel too put out well would you want them there anyway :no:

Ciao,
Brooke.

:iagree: A weekend to recover...or a weekend to keep partying!!!:laughing:

Definatley do what YOU want to do!The people that really want to be there will come no matter what day it is!

This was our thing too. We considered a Friday, then thought no a Saturday would be best but the venues were booked on the Saturday so we went back to our original plan.

Exactly!! Rowie, the day is about you and Dave and should be what YOU want :yes:

We got married on 29 Feb 2000. It is leapyear day and was 4 yrs since we got engaged. It was a Tuesday that year, and of course we had people complain about it, but in reality you know that if they really love you they will be there regardless. After all it is only one day. We had a fabulous day and you will find that you should get a better deal too for a weekday as it isn't a peak day so they will be grateful for the bookings.

Main thing is like mentioned, that it is your day so do what you want and enjoy it.

[punkbaby]

we got married christmas day lol it was easier and everyone was able to come, if you have it on a weekday and there is plenty of notice given then i dont see it as a problem really

that's what we did in Broome,
I mainly chose the Wednesday for the date-
05.01.05
(yes- I chose the date as Angus didn't really care what day we got hitched, just like he didn't care what colour the invitations were or what kind of cake we had :laughing: )

we eloped too... married on a wednesday, on the date we got engaged (26/04)
neva had to worry about guest complaining:D

[M O P]

well, we didn't really elope-
I should have explained that better-
we took our parents and siblings- but that was it
and we were all on hols so no one cared what day it was anyway

[QTB]

I got married on a thursday

05.05.05 :D

DHs very stubborn family had quite a few harsh words to me about it being on a thursday (cant take time off, cant pull kids from school etc etc) but when they realised that i didnt give a cow if they came or not, shock horror, they all came and even commented that it was lovely having a thursday wedding...

[Mummaholic]

As long as you are prepared for the fact that some guest may be unable to attend due to work committments, etc, I don't see why it should be a problem.

As a previous poster stated, costs would be minimised quite a bit.

Go for it if that day holds significance!

[studyingECS]

My cousin is having her wedding on a Friday, I don't mind obviously because I get a day off school:D, but it seems that alot of our family are having difficulty all getting that day off, Alot of close family work on call, shifts etc so a few close family members arent able to come.

BUT in saying that, it is your special day and you and your DF can have it any day you want:yes:

[Sammilee]

As you can tell by the number of responses here, a weekday wedding isn't as unusual as you'd think. My DH is a wedding photographer and he is getting more and more weekday weddings. Admittedly they are more on Fridays (and the odd occasional Thursday). The most important thing is that you guys do your wedding your way, and if that means having it on a Thursday then I say go for it.

PMSL!!!! Too funny!!! Love your work, Shed!!:laughing:

And Punkbaby, did you have turkey and all the trimmings?!!

[Queen]

Thanks ladies...

We are planning a Thursday;)for its meaning.
Just booking a few things, and they are heaps cheaper.
Celebrant is half price, and photographer is just over half price. The caterer is heaps less than half proce:Dits great...............

[angelickaren]

one of my good friends got married on a thursday night at 6pm in cogee in syd we all stayed the night in same hotel and then we had a lunch on friday before coming back to central coast it was great.
Do it when you want as its special day for you :thumbsup:

[MrsDribbleDrawers]

I got married on a Friday night - in our backyard! I picked that date, then discovered it was a Friday, and DH wouldn't wait another year...
