Is it weird to have a wedding on a Wednesday?

Question

Wednesday evening.

Answer 1

It's weird in the fast that there aren't too many weddings on a weekday! Just make sure people know far in advance so they can make arrangements. And also probablly realize some guests won't be able to make it (out of towners, those who work, etc)

Answer 2

Will the wedding take place at the Justice of Peace? If so- I say go for it. Otherwise;it may be difficult for guest. I under the signaficance of why you'd want to do it on a Weds. The day he proposed or got engage will always be a special day that you'll never forget. It's now time to start creating other special dates as well. My suggestion is to choose another date & day for your nuptials.

Answer 3

Yes, if you expect people to show up!

Answer 4

It is unusual in that many people prefer to marry on the weekends.  People don't really want to take time off of work for a wedding.  Be aware that you will likely have fewer guests accept your invitation, but otherwise, it's not a problem. My date isn't set yet, but it will be either a Monday or Tuesday.  Our most important guests will already be in town and/or able to get the day off that week.  Weekends, at almost any time, are too heavily booked until after New Years.

Answer 5

It's not weird if you want to have it two years after you got engaged because it kinda makes it special....but if you want people to come don't have it on a Wednesday

Answer 6

Nope not weird.

Good luck

Answer 7

It's not weird but you have to think of other people too...if you want alot of people there, it may be extremely difficult. Lots of people have things going on during the week some even work in the evening... it's best to have the wedding on friday or the weekend. But if it's going to be very small...it may not be a problem! :)

Answer 8

Kind of but there is nothing wrong with weird. I kind of like the idea.

Answer 9

Not at all! Weekdays are becoming more popular, especially due to the fact reserving venues/vendors for weeksdays can be cheaper than weekends. I would say the only problem with that would be people would have harder times getting off work.

Answer 10

Okay, it isn't weird, I think your reasons for wanting to do it are very meaningful, but...

Take into consideration whether or not the guests you want to invite have children.  Having a wedding on a school night might be really problematic.  You have to ask your guests with children, or with bosses who act like children (you catch my meaning?), if that would be logistical problem before you do it.  Take it from one who knows, it hurts to have nobody come to your wedding because it didn't fit into their schedules.

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

It is not completely ridiculous, but it will be a pain in the booty for many of your guests.

A Wednesday wedding is fine, if that is what you want, but be prepared for many of your guests to decline.

Answer 13

It's unusual.

You'll probably want to have it after 5pm for people who have to work all day.

Answer 14

It is uncommon but not unheard of.  There are many advantages to having a weekday wedding, including cheaper rates on most rental sites, etc.  However, there are some downsides as well.  I have a friend getting married on a Tuesday night and many of her relatives and friends are not able/unwilling to come because of work, school, etc.  Regardless, it is your day -- make it how you want it!

Answer 15

I"m getting married on a wednesday!  :)  We did it because summer is so hard to get a weekend wedding with everything you want unless you plan MONTHS and MONTHS in advance.  We got the photographer we wanted, the location we wanted, the time we wanted, the luncheon place we wanted.  Basically, if you do it on a wednesday you will get to have pretty much everyone/thing you want to make your day special.  People are right about the guests though- we sent out our invitations a month in advance and announced it even before that so that out of town guests would be able to have plenty of time and notice to make plans.  A lot of people can't take off work or can't travel that far in the middle of the week, but hey, there are a lot of locals that can.  And the people that really want to be there, will make it work.  Just remember that this is YOUR day, and it doesn't matter what day you choose your wedding to be, not everyone will be able to make it :)

Answer 16

It's your wedding; you can have it on any day you want. :) Now that being said, if you have a wedding ceremony with guests invited on a Wednesday, you might not have a lot of guests in attendance (not enought time for guests to travel on a weekday after work, etc). But I'm sure the ones that matter most are the ones that will be there.

I'm having a destination wedding in Hawaii (I'm currently residing on the east coast) and since 95% of our guests will be on vacation to Hawaii (the other 5% live in Hawaii) I chose to have my wedding day on a Thursday. I figure everyone took off for vacation there anyways so I don't have to get married on a Saturday. Plus it's easier to have the vendors of your choice available on a weekday, and sometimes cheaper!

Answer 17

Yes, it's too difficult for people to attend.  People have to work the next morning and kids need to be in school (or camp, if it's summer)

Answer 18

The thing about having a wedding on a weekday is that not many people will come. Most people work during the week, not to mention they have kids who go to school. I'm sure that particular day is important to you and your fiance, but you really should think about your guests and what would be convenient for them. Only very selfish couples think of this sort of thing as it being "their" day and they can do whatever they want. Besides, lots of people work late in the evening and simply CAN'T get out of work (unlike one poster suggested, people may want to come to your wedding but wouldn't be able to adjust their work schedule; not everyone is flexible). If you want more guests, have your wedding on a weekend.

Answer 19

Have your wedding when ever the h**l you want to. i had my wedding on a friday. and if people dont want to change their works schedule to come to your wedding...then they didnt want to go in the first place.....i had that problem.

its your day. you make it any day you want to. =]

congrats!

Answer 20

Its certainly unusual but it makes sense because it sure will be alot cheaper!!!  You could do the wedding on a weekday, then do a reception on a weekend.
