Hi y’all!

My fiancé and I are in the midst of booking for 10/29/2022 (one of the only dates available) and now I have this sudden irrational fear that the date is too close for comfort for Halloween. Am I overthinking?
The only other dates that the venue has is 11/5/2022. My fiancé loves the 10/29/2022 date and absolutely loves the venue as well, and do not want to change because I’m a member at the venue/country club. Help!

If you are really set on your date and the venue I would absolutely keep your original date. As long as it’s not on October 31st I don’t think it should cause any issues.

I would definitely keep your date if it’s the only one available and the one you and your fiancé love! Is there a particular concern you have with your wedding being close to Halloween?

Ahhhh. Well yes, if you plan on travelling for your anniversary, then taking into consideration holidays with children is a smart idea! If that's the case, then I would just move it to the 11/5 date. It's only a week later, and it eliminates your concern.

We got married on 10/31/21. So of course I think your date is perfectly fine 😉 Lol. Having an anniversary on/near a “holiday” doesn’t mean you can’t still celebrate both. For example, DH and I decided to have themed costume parties to celebrate each anniversary and then do a weekend getaway.

Even if you're planning on having kids and want to be able to get away for your anniversary every year, I don't see this as an issue. If you wanted to travel to celebrate, you'd likely end up picking the weekend before or weekend after vs. the actual day anyway - your anniversary date won't fall on a weekend every year, obviously. So for the years where it falls on a weekend and that weekend is also Halloween weekend, you'd just go a week earlier or later. A friend of mine got married 10/27 and she now has 2 young kids and hasn't had any issues finding ways to celebrate her anniversary around Halloween, as far as I know.

Thank you!! And I already purchased a few items this past Halloween season, in prep for our first anniversary party. Looking forward to it! 🎃
