Possible Date Change...not sure what to do....

Switch to the Friday!!! Save $1200!!

Hm... Are most of your guests local? It can be tough to get to a Friday wedding, even for people in the area. If that's not an issue, and you haven't booked anything, I say switch, unless you're set on Saturday!

We actually only have two families who are not local and while we hope they can make it, it's honestly more likely they will decline...we're not super close with them but they do fit into the immediate category of people you have to invite. We figure if we send save the dates like 6 months before and then invites 2 and a half months before it will give people a good amount of time...plus word of mouth for like a year and a half...it's so weird, I'm not attached to the date because of any special significance other than I have just been saying out loud we are getting married on the 10th for the past 3 months, I've envisioned my whole day around "the 10th of 2019"...and now it may not be...I don't even know why I am so hesitant...I need a snickers or something...

I'd be saving the money. It's just a day. Your loved ones will make the time for you no matter what!

If everyone (basically) is local I say switch to the Friday and put that money to the honeymoon!

Since there's no significance to the date and you have mostly family that are local, I say why not change it? That money could definitely be used towards something else, like your honeymoon or those little add-ons that you might have left out to stay within budget.

Our wedding is planned for a Sunday and I've actually had many family question why a Sunday and it's like I save more money since it's on a Sunday than on a Saturday, lol.. When we're the ones paying for it, my wedding is going to happen the way I want it! lol

Would it help you to think of it as setting your date instead of changing your date?

Switch, switch, switch! I was okay with a Friday wedding and saving some money, but it meant my future step kids would have to miss school.

My cousin changed hers to the next day, Saturday at the same venue was $3000 more, so she did Sunday and used that extra money toward the deposit on their new home

My cousin changed hers to the next day, Saturday at the same venue was $3000 more, so she did Sunday and used that extra money toward the deposit on their new home. If people are expecting that weekends anyways, then change it without regrets or guilt. I wouldn't do the one before his birthday. My sister did that and it is just you want a day far enough away to make it special. Plus, she already shares a birthday with my other sister. If you like then Imbers, then do what would be best for you guys. What does he want?

Talk to your VIPs and see whether Friday would work for them. If a lot of your guests are not local, I would keep it on Saturday.

I say switch to Friday and save! I had no attachment to our initial Saturday date, except for the fact it was a Saturday... the savings to Friday was a no brainer for us!

OMG this is why I love this forum...so I had a snickers....talked it over with FH and we are going with the friday before! 8/9/2019...we technically haven't booked the venue yet because we were deciding on the date (both dates are open...their whole month of August is open)...I feel better now. Thank you guys! I do like the wording of setting our date! I made him pink swear no more changes lol this is our 3rd date we've chosen so hopefully 3rd times a charm!

In my opinion saving $1200 isn't worth inconveniencing my guest. Friday weddings are ok but a lot of people have to take off or leave work to attend . Some may feel tired after working all day and leave early.

Switch to the Friday. We're having a Friday wedding and our guests have actually expressed how happy they are about that since they have the weekend to relax afterwards.

Good decision I think!!!

I would switch.. majority of people attending are local and that's a very important factor. Girl, change the date and put that extra change in your pocket!

I would 100% switch if it was that much difference! We're getting married on a Sunday!

I would switch to Friday. Since most of your guest list is local, this will be just as easy for them and you save $1200! My FH would switch to Friday or Sunday if we could but we have too many OOT guests to consider

I would save the money
