church begins at 530 and CH begins at 7:30. is it really that odd or an inconvience to have a friday wedding??

I think friday weddings are great. I am having a friday wedding myself. Everyone I am talking to is telling me they prefer fridays because then they still have the whole weekend to themselves.

Friday is a great day, your times are perfect too.

You wanna talk about inconvenient...I am having a THURSDAY wedding! And surprisingly, I haven't heard anyone b*tch about it yet!

Re: Friday Wedding

I have beem to 3 Friday weddings and my only gripe is that I have to ruuussshhh home and I still end up late for the ceremony, which I hate.

I would love a Friday wedding that started later than smack in the middle of rush hour

My friend had a Friday the 13th wedding and it was awesome! Definitely not an inconvenience. Everyone knew well enough in advance to either get out of work early or just to take off.

Re: Friday Wedding

We are getting married on a Friday...I was very worried about it at first but everyone I asked told me not to...It is your day, you have to do whats right for you and FH...IMO this is a big life milestone for you and you cant plan it around others.

We are a Friday and I have been to a lot of Friday weddings. I think the only thing is some people will not be able to make your ceremony. But the people closest to you will be there.

our wedding is on a Friday too. i couldn't justify paying that much more for a Saturday to just end up with the same exact thing. our church is at 2:30 & CH starts at 7.

to ensure that we wouldn't have too many no's because its a Friday we sent out our STD a year in advance, instead of the usual 9 months before. most family & friends have already told us that they put in for our wedding day off at work. we don't expect everyone to do that but we do appreciate the gesture.

i am sure that who ever wants to be at Church will be there no matter what. FH is an only child so his family is very excited. in my family my brother got married 8 years ago & my cousin got married 4 years ago & everyone is equally as excited.

the biggest complaint came from my niece when we told her she has to miss a day of school because of the wedding. silly 5 year old.



ITA and we are in the same time frame. we have to get our STD's out soon. but those who want to be at the church will be there and those who take off, will take off. i feel like people have known that our wedding is on a Friday for a few months now so they have more then enough time to request off if they want to, and make plans accordingly.

Re: Friday Wedding

I'm getting married on a Friday night. Ceremony starts at 6. I don' t think it's weird or an inconvenience. You gotta do what you gotta do, and I'm very happy with our decision. I'd rather change the day of the week than change RH, the only way we could afford our RH was to go to a Fri or Sun nite, so that's what we did, I didn't want to settle on a place... I got my 1st choice RH and my 2nd choice day of the week... no biggie!

Re: Friday Wedding

I actually think Friday weddings are really cool... I think of it as the modern/chic day to have a wedding! I did not mind having one to save some money but my parents really wanted a saturday night and they're paying soooo they get what they want! lol My only concern would be less people at the ceremony but the most important people will be there no matter what!!

Re: Friday Wedding

My wedding is on a Friday. Like many others I could not justify the extra money for a Sunday. We actually decided on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Many people have off on that day anyways we figured. We don't have many OOT guests so traveling to see family for the holiday should not be an issue. We have our fingers crossed everything works out. I am excited to have a Friday wedding and then 2 days to recover!

I'm not having a Friday wedding...but from a guest's POV, if I were invited to one- thats fine. I'd still go, wouldnt see it as an inconvience. Friday night to me is the weekend.

Re: Friday Wedding

As someone who is an OOT guest most of the time, it is a little inconvenient for me to travel for a wedding. I would probably only go to the reception and show up a little late but that's me.

Re: Friday Wedding

I am not only getting married on a Friday...Im getting married on Friday the 13th!

Fridays are better than Sundays in my opinion because most people have off the next day!
