Picking the date you want to get married on is the most important part of planning your Wedding, without it you can’t do anything else. There are a number of contributing factors that need to be accounted for when setting the date of your wedding.

You Need Ample Time

Before you set a date for your wedding you will need to ask yourself several vital questions (you will need to be honest with yourself if you want to have the wedding of your dreams):I am I the most organized person I know? How much time do I need to plan my wedding? Am I going to plan my wedding or will I hire a wedding planner to do if for me? These are all import questions that need to be considered before setting a date. On average the time between becoming engaged and getting married is anywhere between a year and 18 months.

Competing Events

Make sure that the date you are going to pick for you wedding will not clash with any important dates for your friends and family. Consulting with the key members of your wedding party is a the best way to avoid scheduling conflicts.

Avoid Major Holidays

Avoiding wedding dates that are too close to the major holidays is a great idea. Although Valentine’s day is the exception to this rule. Although keeping to the holiday rule isn’t always necessary as Valentine’s day is great for weddings. With people going out of town for their vacations around the holidays you might be pushing you luck by asking them to abandon their travel plans in favor of you wedding.

Choosing The Day

You may have to fight to get the services and venue that you want if you want your wedding to be on a weekend because many other couples will have had the same idea. You will have to plan you wedding well in advance as most churches and reception venues are booked a year in advance for weekend weddings. Saturdays are the hardest day to plan for during the busiest wedding months as there are many brides aiming for the same ceremony and reception sites at the same time.

Wedding Costs

As well as being hard to book some dates, holidays especially, will cost you more to book for your wedding. As summer approaches you may start to notice that some vendors may increase their prices as the weekends become more competitive for hopeful couples. On the other hand, if you plan on getting married in the fall or winter you may be in line for much better deals for your venues and services.
