Setting the Date and Time

Setting a wedding date takes careful consideration and isnt as easy as one would think it would be. First, you and your fiance should decide what year you would like to hold the ceremony. I would suggest picking a Satuday night and planning at least a year and a half in advance. However, if you are on a budget, its much cheaper to host a wedding on a Thursday or Friday night. Once you and your fiance have selected a date, it would be wise to check with the bride and groom's parents on what dates thay have other engagements on.

There are certain dates of the year that are considered popular wedding dates. The most popular dates of the year to get married are Valentines Day, New Years Eve and Christmas Eve. So, if you decide to want to have your wedding on one of those dates, please book in advance.

Also, if you live in a climate where weather is inconsistant (like where I am from), I would try to stay away from booking a wedding between September and April. The most popular time to get married is between June and August.

Please take these little tidbits of advice into consideration when choosing your special day. Please dont hesitate to share some information with us here, we would love to hear about you and your plans!
