Selecting a wedding
date will be the first decision you make in planning
your wedding. Until you set a date you will be unable
to proceed with any other wedding plans.
Think long and
hard about the date because it will impact every
detail of the wedding from the colors and flowers to
whether
the wedding ceremony could be inside or outside.
A great deal is riding on the date you choose so give
the options
some careful consideration and then select a date
you can stick to.
When choosing a
date, ask yourself…
-
What season or time of year
do you prefer?
-
What day of the week
do you prefer?
-
What time of day do you prefer?
-
How much time do you have/need
to plan the wedding?
-
When are your dream ceremony
or reception locations available?
-
When will work/school schedules
allow vacation time for the wedding and honeymoon?
-
Are there any possible conflicts
for you, your family or your attendants (such as another
wedding, a vacation,
a graduation, or a pregnancy/birth)
-
Is the prospective date on
or near a holiday? How could this affect guest attendance,
travel arrangements
and wedding professional availability, etc.?
