Early on - in your engagement, the thought may cross your mind to tell everyone, "Hey, my wedding date is such-and-such." The reason why is because this is the most often asked question after the initial up and coming wedding news is announced.
Before you have 100's of save the date cards or invitations printed, you must nail down the wedding date. So how do you go about setting the day for this momentous and celebrated event? Well, in simple terms, you do it "very carefully!"
Your wedding date is something very special to you, and it will be your special day forever, so take to heart how important this decision is before just grabbing a date out of thin air without sufficient forethought and planning.
1. Dream Wedding
Every woman has, at some point in their life, a dream of their fairytale wedding event, and it usually comes about when they are very young. Think about all the components of your dream wedding; is there a special flower, or dress, or a location, or maybe a certain time of year? Consider these dream wedding details when setting aside that special date and time.
2. Mindful of the Budget
When deciding on your wedding date, keep your budget in mind. The most popular wedding months are typically May through September, which usually means prices will be higher during these popular times of the year. Also, because so many weddings take place during these months, it is harder to secure the vendors and suppliers you may want.
Day of the week is another consideration. Saturday weddings generally are more expensive than a Friday or Sunday wedding, and a Friday wedding might be a great kick-off to a fabulous weekend with friends and family.
3. Planning Around Holidays
Holiday weekends are a popular choice for many couples because these times give guests some travel opportunity without having to take time off from their jobs. Bear in mind, however, that holidays weekends are a time when many people plan vacations of their own.
Holidays also often pose the problem of accommodation and airline availability. Sometimes accommodation providers also charge more during the holidays. If you do decide to have a holiday wedding ceremony, let your guests know as soon as possible so they can plan ahead and make travel arrangements.
Another very important consideration; don't make a firm final decision until you've discussed it with close members of both your and his family, and also everyone you are planning to have in your bridal party.
Once the date is decided upon, get those "Save the Date Cards" out as early as possible!
