More or less, which is 12-18 months between the time of engagement and wedding. Since there are so many parts to planning a successful wedding, a year not be enough time for many. Before you set your date for the big day, you need to consider schedules for all important to you. If you want the important people in your life to attend the wedding, you should consider their timing. Business tasks, birthdays, graduations, holidays and other events may prevent people important to you to attend your wedding.
Married during the hottest wedding season has many challenges. It is not only more difficult to find available vendors and venues, prices are usually higher, too. Therefore be prepared to pay premium for reception sites, photography, flowers, limousines, etc. In addition to rental costs, you have to consider challenges based on availability. Your dream location may not be available at your dream date, so do not fall in love with a venue until you have secured it for your date.
May to September are among the busiest months for weddings. If you can, get married to consider one of the off months. November to April gives you several options to choose reception venues. Besides having more opportunities, you'll be in much better position to negotiate a better price. During the slower months, you're bound to get better service because more vendors compete for your business.
If you want to get married on a Saturday, be prepared to compete with many other brides for the same sites and services. Saturday is the most convenient day for the invitees, but it means you have to deal with scheduling challenges and rental costs. Fridays and Sundays are considered the second best day and is still much more practical than other days.
There is no wedding date without challenges, and there are sure to be advantages and disadvantages of a possible date. Your challenge is to consider the best possible wedding date based on your needs and desires.
