My wedding is booked for December 22, 2007. I love Christmas and wanted it close to the holiday, but people are telling me I shouldn't have it the weekend right before Christmas, that people will be too busy preparing and doing things... What do you think?

If someone invited me to a wedding around the holidays I would definitely be there! If that is the date that you and FH want to do, then I would keep it. Maybe you can ask your close family and friends and see what they think about it.
I am getting married Thanksgiving weekend and I am sure people are talking about that, but that is what FH & I wanted, so that was what we booked.

My FSIL got married a few years ago in December right around Christmas. Everyone complained about it at first but everyone came to the wedding. It even snowed that day and it was soooo beautiful Go with what you want, your family and friends will be there no matter what.

Don't change your date, but there will be people who will use the holiday as an excuse to not be able to attend so try not to let it get to you. Whether you have it in December or in July, people are going to not be able to come or make comments, so you plan your wedding for how you and your FH wants it.
I personally, would go to a wedding before Christmas, it would take some of the holiday stress away from me. If people can make it to Holiday parties, I can't see why they wouldn't be able to make it to a Holiday wedding.

I think it's cutting it a little close, but if you want your wedding day to be that day than so be it. People who want to be there will find a way to be there. I say it's cutting it close but I would probably go.

I think maybe you should send your invites out a little earlier than usual just so they know it's around christmas...dont worry the important people will be there !

I would go to a wedding on that date, it wouldn't bother me.

DO NOT change your date if that is the date that you and your FH want. I am not shocked by people making comments because most people just don't think before they say things. I would go even if it was on Christmas if that person meant anything to me and obviously they do if I am invited to their wedding.
This is YOUR once in a lifetime wedding and you should do it when and they way you want. People have more than enough notice. Good luck to you and do not stress about what other people trhink or you will be doing it throughout your wedding plans.

I think if that's the date you want you should go for it. People will want to see you get married and they will come. Do whatever makes you happy! Plus--you can probably get a good deal
