Not at all!!! My FH and I were planning for December but sooo many people complained & said it's too close to xmas & if weather was too cold & snowed, no one would come. Then we talked about November & people said not around Thanksgiving. Every month was a different story so now we planned without anyones opinion, Sat of Labor Day wknd & people are still stating we may receive a lot of 'no's' since it is a Holiday wknd & many families go away.

You're NEVER going to please everyone. Remember, it's YOUR day!! Do what makes you happy & if it saves some $$ along the way, then thats an even bigger plus!

Have fun & don't let others put a damper on this joyful time

My wedding is 9/4, that Sunday at night. And my mom has been bugging me to no end to send out STDs, b/c she's worried that people will be away. Except she's pretty much told everyone when the wedding is anyway. And we're planning on sending them out this month.

Personally I love our wedding date - we got the price of a Sunday, that has the feel of a Saturday night. I really didn't want to get married early in the day (I'm really not a morning person) and people always complain about having to work the day after a Sunday night wedding.

Just yes them to death and then ignore them. if they really want to be there they will.

Sorry chica....
not it is NOT bad at all.....

listen chica,
THE PEOPLE WHO TRULY LOVE U N WANT TO B THER FOR U THEY WILL BE THERE FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE ONES WHO LOVE YOU, WILL B THERE!

I don't see her reaching into her pocket so she shouldn't have ANY say!!! I try with everything she says to just bit my tongue & ignore it.. but she knows just the right things to irritate me!!

Thanks girls

My son and DIL got married on Labor Day 2007 and 235 people attended. It was just like a Sunday wedding and no one complained. They also got a fabulous deal from Russo's on the Bay for having it on a 'Holiday'
Good luck, it will be perfect.

People are going to complain no matter what day you pick. You are actually getting married on our anniversary so I will say I LOVE YOUR DAY! People complained we were getting married on a Sunday of a holiday weekend, they wanted to go away, they had to work BECAUSE it was a holiday weekend, etc. Just reply 'well we hope you can come' and 'good, then we save some money'. That's the reply I would give and eventually everyone shut up when they realized I wasn't listening anymore.

Good luck and just ENJOY your day. Remember opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has them and most of them stink!

Do what make you both happy. Ignore the comments. If someone can not go they wont. If they want to be there they will do everything that they can to be.

honestly - people will come no matter what day. And what I have learned in my almost 4 months of being engaged is that people will complain about everything and anything. You can't please everyone so in my opinion you should just please yourself and FH

thats exactly what I'll do. Instead of them going to BBQ's they can go to a wedding.. they can judge which one is the better choice lol

sorry if your already hearing it. I hear comments/opinions & complaints about EVERYTHING its getting rather annoying at this point & I still have about 6& 1/2 months to go!! Just ignore them!!

I went to a wedding last labor day. It was awesome, better than some Saturday weddings.

great to hear

I think its FINE. I am getting married on a Tuesday and I feel its like a Friday night wedding because everyone is off the day after for 4th of July. Listen, people have weddings on Thursday nights when no one is off on a Thursday or the Friday and those who CARE about the couple will be there no matter what. If someone can't be bothered to make an adjustment in their schedule or to be a little tired the next day at work, then they aren't worth taking up a seat at your wedding!

hey we are wedding day twins!!!! When I first picked the day I was so worried about the same thing, the fact that its Monday and its labor day and people will have other things to do (like BBQs) but so far, i havent had any real issues. All of my friends and family was cool with it. I told them in advance so they have plenty of time to plan ahead. The reception ends at 10pm which gves everyone enough time to go home and sleep and wake up for work the next day. And think about it, usually on Labor Day, people are out late, at picnics or bbqs or coming home from a weekend trip, so they will be tired by tuesday morning anyway.

Dont worry about what your FMIL says. Like my mom said 'If your friends and family really love you, they will come. If they think its a problem then good for you..less mouths to feed'

YAYY DATE TWIN!!! we were nervous too about the same thing. our reception will be ending at 8:30pm so they really can't complain.. They had a year notice & STD's went out just after christmas when every1 usually puts there new calendars up for the year.. I also had my sister saying about my neices starting school the next day & she puts them in bed by 8... most other kids though will be going a few days later.. I'm not worrying anymore... (for now at least)!! but that's SO TRUE less people to show less mouths to feed & less of a bill in the end LOL my luck they'll all show & the bill will go up lol

it's always the SAME PEOPLE who complain & idc anymoreee
