April Fools Day wedding

Just be prepared for lots of jokes about "Is this a prank/Is this a real wedding/Your marriage will be a joke" etc. Other than that, the date is totally fine.

Wait, as in have it on April first or as in have an April Fool's Day theme?

Nothing wrong with having your wedding on April 1st. I think that if you do april fools day theme, that is a little over board. One joke on the day of would be sufficient. Anymore than that would be over board.

I would not take a wedding invitation seriously if it were on April 1st....sorry not sorry.

I am now also curious about Staci's question.

Would I take an April 1st wedding seriously? Of course. Would I side-eye the heck out of an April Fool's Day theme? yeah, pretty much.

My first marriage was on March 31st. Everyone thought it was an April fools joke we barely got the 2 witnesses we needed

I have a bad feeling about what the answer to Staci's question is.... :o(

I think one prank would be cute - I saw a story about a couple that snuck away from their reception to put fake parking tickets on all their guests' cars, which is a harmless joke. I would take an April fools wedding seriously, to me it's just another day.

Eta: I would not be into a wedding filled with pranks though. I think it would get old.

My birthday is April 1 and I have to tell you, nobody takes it seriously. If you want to do a "theme" I agree with keeping it to one harmless joke. Just know that people will probably laugh and not take it seriously!

I don't get why people are saying that they should except people to not take it seriously. I would never laugh at someones wedding or not take it seriously just because it was April Fools Day. To me its just another day. I never even realize/remember its April Fools anyways..

Honestly, I probably wouldn't even make the connection right away if your date was on April Fool's Day. If your theme is April Fool's Day then I'd love to hear what your ideas are. Without more to go on I would think that it's a little immature and people wouldn't enjoy it.

My FH old friends did that. Sadly the joke was the women was a user. Cheated on him and got divorced. My mom married her first husband in April along with my grandma and FMIL. All got divorces. I think April is a cured wedding month. But that's just me.

Becoming a Mrs. the problem is not the day, its exactly what you wrote above. If its just the day, then fine whatever. But if they are going to make a mockery of the wedding by including jokes/pranks. I think its a bad idea.

Not to hijack the post but our wedding it the 2nd this year and so our rehearsal is April Fools Day. We want to do one harmless joke at dinner or something. I love the parking ticket idea. Do you have any others in mind that you wouldn't mind sharing and also wouldn't hate if it was pulled on you?

Ok, so having the wedding one April 1st is fine then. I mean my theme isn't April Fools lol. Just figured throwing a joke in there would be funny since people would prob have something to say. I think it just works out that it falls on a Saturday next year so why not. We would always remember our wedding date lll

Lol, I will always remember my wedding date because its the day I marry FH, not a holiday.

What would the jokes be?

I briefly considered suggesting it since we were considering a March date and I saw that 4/1 is a Saturday in 2017. I thought it would be funny (and like the idea of pulling one prank and keeping it classy. One of my BM's has an April 1st birthday. I think she would have thought it was hilarious (and I would have done something special during the reception for her and had everyone sing happy birthday). But my fiance was already disappointed about not having a January 2017 wedding. We realized we needed to wait until mid-March to avoid a snowstorm since we will have a lot of OOT guests. He might have cried if I started bringing up April dates! I say go for it if you like the idea of April 1st!

Whenever I marry a couple on 4/1, I figure they each must have a good sense of humor -- because they'll hear about it for the rest of their lives.

You'd have to warn your officiant ahead of time and have her/him ask if anyone objects. Then a very pregnant woman could stand up and say "I object -- he's the father of my baby!" After everyone nearly faints (maybe you should warn your grandparents, too), shout "April Fool."

We were originally going to get married on April 1st, but I had a nightmare that not one person showed up because everyone thought it was a joke. While I don't think it would be quite THAT bad, anything is a possibility, so we decided against that.
