WEDDING DAY/TIME POLL

---

Posted by ktcafaro

Yeah. I guess my concern is that the FH family (a lot of them) have never been to NY. So I dont wanna get married then play 'tour guide' for the remainder of my weekend. But Friday sounds better for a lot of reasons.

I don't think they will expect you to be the tour guide. Hopefully they will understand it's a busy weekend for you guys and look for another family member to show them the sights.

I'm actually doing a sun pm over a friday; for us a lot of ppl are commuting in and fri pm will be annoying for them to rush in from work; our close friends and family wont mind that they have wrk in the morning for the sun evening though.

You should do what suits your guests best, though - we asked around and our guests told us that it would be tough to get out of work on time to attend both the ceremony and reception so they wld rather sacrifice a little sleep for sunday with wrk the next am. lol :)

HTH!

I figure that regardless of when my wedding is, the people who matter will be there, but I really want everybody to enjoy the day/night. By 8pm sunday people will probably be worn out from their weekend or end up not showing or leaving by like 11pm. I dont know. I am so torn.

agreed rather take monday morning off from work then be tired at a wedding because I had to wake up for work friday. lol thats just me. i am NOT a morning person,

I voted Sunday night (as a guest) because I am the type of person to take the following Monday off work so I can enjoy my friends / family members wedding

---

Ah this is a hard one that me and my FH went through a little while ago.

Friday night pro: You have a whole weekend for your guests to enjoy with plenty of recovering time :) You have a weekend to enjoy as a married couple before the rush of work starts up again :) Its a kick off of the weekend!

Friday night con: OOT guests have to rush here to get to your wedding. Friday night rush hour traffic. Starting time of ceremony would vary.

Sunday night pro: A nice ending to a weekend :) Guests have an excuse to take off monday! You and your guests have a whole weekend to get ready for it..and relax before!

Sunday night con: OOT guests may have to rush back (if they cant get off the next day). People may feel they can enjoy themselves less being they have work the next day. People may also leave early to go home and get ready for the week.

AHH its tough, a fellow liw girl told me, and im so sorry i forgot who--you will never please everyone, so do what is best for you!!

we went with memorial day sunday...so its like a friday night but on a sunday :) Now im hearing from people that my guests may not show because they may go out of town..lol....point is, someone always has something to say!

hope this helps!

thanks. I am trying to figure it all out. It would be the Friday evening of Labor Day weekend. So it could be just one long weekend for all and FH thinks most will take off Friday.

Maybe we will win the lotto and then i could afford a saturday evening and not have this problem. (slim chance sincei dont play)

friday night better turn out for yes response from guests a sunday evening will be hard everyone has to work the next day im doing a twilight on a sunday for that reason but going next door to a hotels bar for some partying after

---

I would LOVE the twilight, but then Chateau Briand doesn't allow for outside use. And my FH and I both agree if we book CB we NEED to have a be in there outside area at night, and we were told it can only be 8-1. =(

Friday night all the way!!! You still have the weekend to do whatever you want whereas on Sunday, people have work to go to on Monday.

---

ITA!

FH and I decided to do a Friday night because many of our guests are younger, and I know they want to drink, have a good time, and not have to worry about going to work the next day!

We too have a lot of young guests.

We have a lot of people coming in from OOT also, so they prefer Friday night so they can fly home on Sunday.

I think I am the only one who is pro sunday at this point. lol
