July will most likely be just as expensive and here's why: all of the teachers get married then b/c it's after they are out and before they have to return for teacher work days....this was explained to me when we were in shock by how few days in July 06 were available in April 05. (ok...not ALL teachers, but a fair amount)....plus it's in the middle of wedding season.

my only real advice is to NOT put off planning stuff (ie-looking at dresses, invites, limos, etc...) during the holiday season prior to your July. We did and we've been playing some serious catch up for 4 months now. We thought we were helping ourselves out by NOT adding to holiday stress with wedding stuff....big mistake. Ours will be July 9th this year, hopefully not too hot!

Best of luck to you! and welcome!!!

A few of the halls I visited tried to get us to do the week of the 4th because not as many people do it (I don't know why). It was a lot cheaper, we didn't do it because we wanted to be close to our engagement date. Around the 4th is great because a lot of people have of! Also July in general is not any cheaper than ony other month. I visited 20 halls in my search and they were all the same prices from april through october.

When we were looking at RH, a lot of the BM's asked if we were interested in a Thursday nite wedding. He said it's the 'new thing'. I don't know......I've never heard of it. But I would def do it if the next day is a holiday.
Congrats, by the way!
