Originally I was dead set on having a Saturday night wedding and have found a couple venues that are in our price range but nothing that has wowed me. FH and I are now considering a Friday night. I saw on the post about compromises that this was a big one for a lot of people! So I need some input please! If most of our guests were local to Long Island we would def do a Friday night. Our biggest worry is that FH is from upstate (way up there by Canada!) and we have lived in 6 different states between the two of us since after college, so more than half of our 200 person guest list is traveling from out of state or way upstate! A lot of people have told us that the guests who want to come will find a way to be there...but this still worries us! So, is it worth it to sacrifice a Saturday night? Is it really that big of a price difference? TIA!!!

I am having a Friday night wedding it is 75 a plate for a Saturday it was 100-150 a plate it starts at 630pm so hopefully gives everyone enough time
I'm in the same situation! I even have some girl friends in Canada and Seattle that are traveling all the way for the wedding. The people who truly care will be willing to miss a day or two of work for you special day! Some even preferred it because it gave them an extra day to make it home. There are exceptions (people who have jobs that will NOT allow them to miss a friday.) I would talk to the people you NEED to be there (family, bridal party, close friends) to make sure they can make it. If they can do it - book a Friday! I did! :)
