Just wondering what people feel about Friday night as opposed to Sat night.? Do you think it is a big deal? Do people really feel inconvenienced on a friday? The prices are a significant difference.

Re: How do we feel about Friday night weddings?
We have been to a few Friday weddings....they were all great, and our wedding will be a Friday night wedding. We are saving about $40 pp by doing a Friday versus a Saturday for the exact same services and foods. And like so many people said if you send out Save-the-Dates people can plan ahead if you have OOT guests. That's what we did, but most of our guests are Li'ers.

Re: How do we feel about Friday night weddings?
I am having my wedding on a Friday night and it is a holiday weekend. My FH and I are looking forward to it. You do save money doing it on a Friday then doing it on a Saturday. Doing it on a Friday is much better.

Re: How do we feel about Friday night weddings?
I am having a friday night wedding because as everyone has said...the savings were huge! I know alot of people probably cannot make it to the church (3 PM) but that is ok...plus if I were invited to a Friday night wedding, I would just take half a day of work...I know that is not possible for everyone but I think you get the invite far enough in advance so it shouldn't be a problem...
Eh, people are entitled to their opinions.

IM having a friday night wedding. I took into consideration that people have work, etc. But I know the VERY important people will be at our ceremony and its ok with me that some wont be able to get out of work early or off...so i am ok with them coming to celebrate

I just have a question about pics for a friday wedding. FH and I are considering a Friday wedding (Memorial Day weekend) or the Sunday before Memorial Day.
However if we have it on Friday- we would prob have a 5:00p ceremony (not a mass) at the church. Then would a 7:00pm cocktail hour be too late? I want time to take pics and attend the cocktail hour.
Also, I know by May the sun doesnt go down so early. But around 6-7pm would it still be light enough out to take pics outside??
Thats another concern...
Im getting married Memorial day weekend this year...our ceremony is at 3 and we are doing pictures from 430-600 at OWG and out CH starts at 7-and every vendor has said we are fine

Re: How do we feel about Friday night weddings?
My best friend and MOHs wedding was on a Friday... the problem with it was that there were MANY OOTers and not everyone can /wants to take off work to come to the ceremony...so there were not that many people besides immediate family that were at the church.
she also had it too early (for a friday) it was tough for people to get there...I was her MOH so of course I was there..as were many others, but it was tough
People partied just as much as a Saturday night wedding!!!!!! We had a Fabulous time! but some of the older people left early-not sure if it is something that would bother you though, it didnt seem to bother her much

I don't like the idea of it, people work during the day and then out of town guests would have to figure out a way to make it.. I just feel if you have it on a Sat. or Sun. it's less of a stressor on the guests.
I agree. If you have a good number of OOT guests I think its rude to them. If most of your people are local, its probably not as big of a deal.

I don't like the term rude, not all of us can afford to have a Saturday night wedding..
And Sunday weddings to me are hard because you have to work the next day

Re: How do we feel about Friday night weddings?
I went to 2 Friday night weddings this year and it was not an inconvience for me and DH at all. It was something we both looked forward to for the end of the week. We both worked the morning and he was able to take a half a day and I just skipped my lunch and left work an hour early. We did miss the Church for 1 of the weddings (the Church was at 3pm), however we did make the Church for the other wedding at 3:30pm. Both weddings I had more than enough time to get ready though. Both CH's started at 7pm. HTH
