Weekday Wedding

Please keep in mind it is an evening wedding starting at 6:30pm. Local guests probably won't even have to leave work early. Also, (I'll discuss this more later) we won't be having a bar so there's no risk of everyone hung over the next day. From the FAQ section of our guest website: Isn't the 21st of March a Wednesday?!? Yes, we are getting married on a Wednesday. It will be an evening ceremony starting at 6:30pm. We hope this gives everyone a chance to make it from from work, but if we've given you a good excuse for a day off in the middle of the week, you're welcome! All that being said it has it's good and bad points.

Pros
  • Discount on Venue
  • Discount on/greater availability of venders
  • Less schedule conflicts for local guests
  • Cheaper travel options for out of town guests
  • Weeds out people just coming for the party
  • Amazing date.
  • We can set-up the day before because there's no other event that day
  • What's more fun than a midweek excuse to party?
  • People who do laundry on weekends will have most of their wardrobe available to wear
  • More options for emergency plan B vendors if something goes wrong
  • Wednesday Wedding is alliteration
Cons
  • Wedding events will either be well in advance of the wedding or during the week
  • Getting time off work may be tricky for wedding party and out of town guests
  • We may have to wait several days to leave for the honeymoon depending on which option we pick (ie not many cruises leave on Thurs)
  • We may throw a wrench in our kids' schecdules
  • It's one more thing we're doing differently than tradition dictates for people to grumble about

    3. Pros:
      - Canceling work meetings with the note, "I'll be eating cake in a fancy dress. Sorry!"
      - +1 Amazing date!

      Your laundry/wardrobe pro made me laugh out loud. Fancy dress: check. Clean undies: also check.
