We, (mostly I - LOL) have been selecting the details of our wedding such as invitations, decorations, and the cake, without having a date because we have relatives from Australia and another set from the UK that we would really love to be here. It looks like we have it narrowed down to between the end of October and the end of February LOL which isn't much of a narrow time. There are a lot of holidays during this period, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve and Valentines Day! We've been talking about whether we would want to have the wedding on or near one of these days. It seems like there are pros and cons of doing either.
I have to admit I get excited thinking about the themes we could enjoy using for the wedding. Halloween is especially interesting to me! LOL My husband to be says he doesn't care one way or the other but he is leaning towards us having or attending parties for the holidays and selecting our own special day for our wedding. We both think it might be okay to have it on Valentines day however that puts it at the end of our time range. Of course I would prefer it to be sooner! But maybe it would be worth waiting for so Valentines day will always be so much more special for the rest of our lives.
Does anyone have thoughts about whether it is a good idea to have a wedding on a holiday or not?
But it probably depends on your guest list too. If it's mostly family you can make a day of it.
