A weekday wedding!

Karley0212 · March 2013

Since we are planning such a small (30 ppl) personal wedding, would it be rude to ask for people to take the day off and come to a Thursday wedding. Our thoughts? This way in two years when we have a vow renewal party it will be a saturday and we can party the night away. Thoughts? And our new Wedding date is leaning more to August 1. Another note, I will be just 6 months and will be at that awkward belly verses flab stage. I will figure it out I know. But finding a dress is going to be aweful.

Could you plan it for the evening? It'll be summer so it will still be light out in the evening, but then that way people won't have to request/ call off work. I can't speak for your guests, but I know a lot of my family/friends wouldn't just be able to r

Ok, personally this bugs me. I have some very good friends who got married on a Friday afternoon. I have precious few vacation days and wasn't going to use one to go to the wedding. I think it was asking a lot of their guests to take

Unless it was a super super close person or family member we would probably not go to the wedding. Weeknights are just too hard for us, especially with baseball and the kids having daycare and school in the morning and us working. If anything

I also think it is a little strange to be choosing your wedding date based on a vow renewal that is two years. away.nbsp; Sounds like the vow. renewal is more important than the wedding?nbsp;
So, yes, I would think it is rude and a li

I think because people have to be so protective of their jobs and do get so few days off... I would lean toward and evening (5 or 6 pm?) if you HAVE to do it during the week. I kind of love the suggestion of a Sunday afternoon too... that evokes all

okay so I talked to the lady at the banquet hall again. The Friday is open and we are planning on a 4pm wedding and the Sunday is open but we have to share parking with a local church.

let me add that it was nick's idea for a Thursday wedding. N

I would do a courthouse wedding too. H and I did both - it was just the two of us at the courthouse and then we had the wedding he wanted a few months later. I secretly loved the courthouse - we had no people to please - it was just us and

If it were me, I wouldn't be able to take a weekday off for a wedding. I usually have to skip ceremonies for Friday weddings too, because I work until 3:30, and I live an hour away from where I work. So by the time I would get home and ready, it would

What's this 2nd Anniversary renewal?? If I were your friend I might roll my eyes at an invitation to this. IMO Anniversary's are for the husband and wife. If you can't do your wedding the way you want. Don't have one, just go get married in the co

If the wedding is just for the purpose of the names and a trip then I would second doing a courthouse wedding. You can have a ceremonial wedding later on an evening or weekend. Or save the big party for when you do a vow renewal (not personally a fan of t

When it comes down to it you can invite people to anything, anytime, anywhere. I don't ever consider it rude to be invited (even if it is inconvenient) as long as the guest of honor doesn't think it is rude if I respectfully decline
