Day before Mothers Day?

It's not rude but be warned your flowers may cost a whole lot more.

I don't think it's rude; we do both days every year, but as Nonna said, you need to get a flower estimate before you go forward.

No i don't think it is. I'm getting married the day before mother's day 2018

I'm pretty sure Mother's Day is treated as only a 1-day event and people don't usually have a weekend long celebration for it, so I'm sure Saturday will be just fine for your guests to attend. I wouldn't think it was rude at all.

Agree with Nonna, your flowers will probably be verrrry pricey and may want to look into that before booking, especially if you're planning to have a lot in the way of centerpieces/arrangements plus BP flowers.

Our date is Father's Day... and I didn't realize it would be Father's Day until after we booked. If you're being rude, then I'm a genuinely terrible person.

Gotta take what you can get with limited availability. Plus I'm sure it will be one of your mother's most memorable Mother's Day weekends!

I don't think it's rude

It's not rude, but honestly you after you book your venue book your florist. Mother's day is the busiest day of the year for them, and you will find florists who refuse to do weddings that weekend. Also, prices will be more expensive since the flower growers charge more for them.

I don't think it's rude! I'm getting married the day before Father's Day next year.

They day is ok. Flowers will cost you more which is how I landed on my date. I also wanted to avoid Memorial Day weekend

Mine is the day before mothers day next year, I'm ordering flowers through Sam's club though.

If it is rude, then we're being rude Our date is 5/12/18.

We originally wanted 5/19 to avoid Mother's day and Memorial day weekend. However, another bride was one step ahead of us and paid for the date as we were working on putting the contract together with the venue. I had a mini-freakout over the date, got over it, and went with 5/12/18.

So far the only issue we have had is with the florists. A few didn't even return calls/emails once they knew the date. Luckily the florist we chose (who I LOVE) is getting out of the retail business and would prefer to focus on events. It does mean that flower costs might be higher (think of Valentine's day increases - distributors are going to charge more because demand is higher)... but other than that, you should be fine.

Mother's Day is May 13th, I'm getting married the day before. We booked our date before we realized it was Mother's Day but it's not that big of a deal for us. We wanted the 12th, and anytime before or after was either my bday, his sisters bday, or his sisters graduation from college. To me, not a big deal. However the next morning trying to find somewhere for breakfast with the fam... that might be hard lol

Ok whew- I don't know why but I thought it would be considered rude! I actually did not even think about the cost of flowers, I have a florist in mind who I really would love to work with so I will have to reach out once the venue gets actually booked to figure out what kind of price differences we'll be looking at. Thanks guys

My wedding is the day before Easter. I booked the venue before realizing it. I don't think it's rude to have your wedding the day before mother's day.

I don't see anything wrong with it.

Oh I didn't realize your date was 2019! You have a while, I would book your florist earlier and explain you're booking early because it's mothers day and hope they won't up charge you

We got married the day before Mother's Day. None of our guests had any issues (we have a few single moms and a no kid wedding). The biggest issue was mine as we left for our mini moon right after the reception so I missed Mother's Day with my mom and I was upset but she told me I was ridiculous. Our florist quote wasn't affected by Mother's Day.

I don't think it's rude, but are many of your guests out of town? They may be bummed not to be spending mother's day at home although you can't please everyone. Also, I wouldn't have thought of the flowers but it's a great point.

Mine was the day before Mothers day!!!

My flowers were quoted in advance and weren't any higher then normal. I had 94% acceptance rate. But i do have an older crowd which mainly grown kids. I was able to give centerpieces away to some of the special mothers in our lives.

I like to make a BIG thing of Mother's Day and I would attend a wedding the day before without batting an eye.
