Setting Your Wedding Date
There are no rules about setting the date for your wedding. The biggest pieces of advice I can give are to take your time in choosing the date and to stick with the choice you made. But how do you narrow down the choices? How do you choose what is right for you? Here are some methods on choosing the perfect date to get you started. It is time to set the wedding date.
Method One: Narrowing it down to season and year. Many people will decide their wedding date in several steps, the first of which is narrowing down when you want to be married by season and year. For instance you may decide you want to be married in the fall of 2010. Once you have this information you can continue to narrow down to you have a date. It is a good idea to consider the fact that other people have events going on at the same time like anniversaries, birthdays, showers and other occasions; you do not want your wedding to clash or compete with events that would overlap in guest lists.
Once you know what days or weekends to avoid you would then need to decide where you want the ceremony and reception to be. Once you narrow down the choices you need to confirm eligibility of the locations for the same date. This is a simple way to make a hard decision rather easy. Just keep in mind that when you do pick a date, that if there is any service you must have, such as a certain DJ or musical act for your wedding or your cake must be from a certain bakery, to make sure you also confirm that they are available for the same date.
Method Two: Picking a date based upon the services and vendors you want to use. You may choose to set the date based upon the availability of the ceremony site, such as when the church you want to get married is available for use. Just remember making decisions based upon availability of venue could shorten or lengthen your engagement time considerably. It is up to you to decide what is most important to you. There are some locations for ceremonies that are very popular.
If you really must get married in a certain location you could be adding a year or more onto your engagement. Worse you may have to choose between a longer than anticipated engagement or a shorter than you can deal with. Sometimes when you are on a waiting list to be married at a particular place and you are booked a ways in the future, say 2 - 4 years away they may also call you to see if you want to move up the ceremony if they have any cancellations. If you do decide to set the date based upon location and it is this popular you may want to decide now whether or not you would be okay with moving the ceremony up in order to get married sooner rather than later.
Method Three: Based upon traditions, family or other. Setting the date may become simple if you are particularly close to someone like a grandmother and you want to get married on the day she was. Perhaps all the women in your family get married in June, and so all you need to do is narrow it down by date. Whether or not these types of traditions exist in the bride or groom's family is only something you can know and only you can decide if you are going to follow them.
No matter what method, one listed above or your own, remember this is your special day and you should be happy with the day that you choose to get married. Do not let other people influence this decision and do not let anyone pressure you into a date which you will be unhappy with later. When you are planning your wedding you should ensure that there will be nothing that you later regret.
