The original date in May I was thinking is already booked. Remaining dates 05/4, I think is still a bit early in the month for my liking, 05/25 is memorial day weekend and I am not putting that travel stress on our families, the last available day is 05/11, the day before mothers day so Im wondering...

We went to a wedding on Mother's Day about 10 years ago. It was at Disneyland. People did their MD thing and then went to the wedding. Several people with deceased Mothers or Mothers they weren't speaking to, mentioned that it was a pleasant distraction. The couple has since divorced.

We went to a wedding that was on Mother's day this year and on top of it, it was FH's birthday too. We didn't mind because we love the bride and groom and their families

You could always stick with the 4th if you are a Disney/Star Wars fan. "May the 4th (force) be with you!"

Ours is May 26. Before we told our florist the exact day she said "I'd just like to warn you, we are booked May 11 & May 12. You might run into a problem there.

My wedding is May 12 of this coming year, which is the Saturday before Mother's Day. In avoiding graduations and Memorial Day, it ended up being the perfect date for us too.

I was also initially worried that this could be a problem with people wanting to be traveling to see their moms. For us, most of our wedding guests (like 80 out of 95 invited) are family, so many would be around their mom anyway if they attend. Some of my relatives that live further away will actually see my grandmom for Mother's Day, so it worked out great.

As for the flower costs, it'll likely cost more when going to a florist. I'm planning on doing mostly simple bouquets for the bridesmaids, which I'll reuse as centerpieces, and only really splurging on mine.

Hope that helps!

Mother's Day is kind of a Hallmark Holiday anyway.

I don't think it's rude. I'm getting married the day before Father's Day. I didn't really think much of it. We are having a brunch that morning, so if any guests were staying over they may skip it since they might have plans

Yes. Flowers does cost more.. I got married on May 13th 2017, the day before mother's day.. it's not that bad because mother's day isn't the same day every year
