The Wedding Date - Relationship Issues to Consider
- What is the season – will guests be comfortable in the hot or cold or mild weather?
- How accessible is the wedding - Will people have to fly or drive – how long will they have to take off work to get there? Are there affordable hotels nearby? Are you making the date/time easy to take off work or avoid taking vacation time? Is there a lot of driving when they arrive in the destination?
- Are there any events in the family, your community, among friends (perhaps their own weddings or busy jobs), or the nation that might conflict with your date – from a marathon in your area, holiday weekends, traditional family vacation times, school graduations or pregnancies within the next 9 months? If you have a lot of CPA relatives you wouldn’t want a January to April date, for example. Or golf business owners can’t easily take time off in the summer
- If people are helping pay for the wedding are there times of the year better financially? Perhaps big bonus’ at the end of the year make a spring wedding more financially accessible? Are there slow times of the year when money is tighter – say, just before Christmas? Even if you are paying for your own wedding, are you going to be moving or buying a house around the wedding? How will all this impact your date?
