What day of the week are you getting married?

[xoHeavenSentxo]

Ok, so I have been wondering this for awhile; what day of the week should the actual wedding day fall on? Friday? Saturday?

 

Also, are your guest flying up for the whole week? I was wondering if I should have the wedding on Thursday and let the guest have the next few days to themselves? I DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!!

 

Your help will be greatly appreciated!!

I will bw getting married on a tuesday. We will be arriving with our guests the Friday before....this way after the wedding there is still plenty of time to party

It might also be less busy and less expensive to get married on a week day versus a weekend. We're doing a cruise and are limited to getting married on a Tuesday because we chose St. Thomas to get married in and that's when the ship stops there.

 

Whatever you choose, I'm sure the guests would appreciate a few days of relaxation following the festivities.

I am getting married on a Friday. Most of our guests are arriving on Thursday and leaving on Monday. I think that, when you are having a DW, it doesn't really matter which day of the week I chose Friday because my mom and a couple of our other guests are teachers and they wouldn't be able to take off a lot of time during the week. This way, they only need to take off 3 days and still get a 5 day vacation!

I have merged your thread with another thread asking the same questions.

Ours falls on a Friday, we chose the date not really the day, and we plan to arrive a week before hand to spend time with our guests, and the day after the wedding we are saying good-bye and heading off to our honeymoon for another week.

We decided on a Tuesday. Random, I know. I really went back and forth with this. I wanted a spring wedding but my fiance insisted that we should do it in the winter so it would be a nice warm vacation for everybody (his family is in Canada, mine in Colorado). We decided on February and then I didn't want it too close to my mom/brothers birthday in the beginning or too close to valentines day so we were pretty limited. Our initial thinking was that a weekday would allow some people to come for a short period of time (3,4 days) and get cheaper flights since they would could limit air travel to weekdays. It was hard though because I also thought a weekend wedding would mean they had to take less time off work. You can't really win them all. We arrive on Sunday then the wedding is Tuesday. I like having it at the beginning of our week there so the rest of the time I can relax and not worry about wedding details.

Ours was Sunday before Colombus day. I was the only bride that day and preffered it that way
