How to pick your wedding day 5
If you and your sweetie have just gotten engaged, you will soon find questions from friends and family come at a breakneck pace. People will want to know where the wedding will take place, what kind of wedding you intend to have and, perhaps most importantly, the date.
Setting “the day” is almost as important as getting a “yes” on the big question. There are some tips that can help you and your honey hone in on the perfect date to tie the knot.
Consider these five things as you look over a calendar and narrow down the selection from 365 days to the one:
- Sentimental dates – Mull over dates that are special to the both of you as a couple. Perhaps you might want to get married on the anniversary of the day you met or maybe the first time you said “I love you.” Sentimental dates can add even more of a romantic flavor to an already romantic occasion.
- The desired venue – If you have an idea where you’d like to get married, finding out upcoming schedules is never a bad idea. If you’re sold on a place, its schedule could very easily narrow down the options for you.
- The guest list – Consider who you intend to invite to the wedding, how far they will have to travel from and the work schedules involved. If having certain people attend is vital, giving enough notice for travel and vacation days is always smart.
- Seasonal considerations – If you’ve always dreamed of having a winter wonderland wedding, speak up. Narrowing down the desired season is a great way to cut out three quarters of the days on a calendar!
- Conflicting dates – Pay attention to conflicting important dates that might impact friends and family. While it’s your big day, your desired maid of honor, for example, might not be able to fly across country on Christmas Eve.
Picking the perfect day for your wedding isn’t as easy as it sounds. Pull out the calendar and keep a few things in mind and the right day will make itself known.
