Easter Wedding? Ok or not?

I’ve been a bridesmaid in a wedding on the Saturday before Easter and it was fine. The families weren’t too religious and my family aren’t big holiday people so I had no conflict. But it’s definitely a know your crowd thing. It wouldn’t work for me now because my husband is Jewish and Passover is the same week as Easter usually. But if your family and friends are okay with it I’d say go for it.

Ita def a know your crowd thing. I personally wouldnt have a wedding that day.

Really depends. If your family/friends celebrate that day due to their religion they might not make your wedding.
Also if you have people flying, remember that prices increase exponentially on holiday weekends. And if you live or the wedding is in a big city, remember that there could be a lot of traffic that day.
Apart from that I’d say it’s fine. I would come to a wedding on Easter Sunday

My wedding was supposed to be this Saturday, the day before Easter. Our RSVPs weren't affected at all, no one seemed to have any issues with attending on Saturday. It is a know your crowd thing and I'm not Christian so maybe my crowd is different than yours.

View Quoted Comment So sorry to hear about you have to postpone your wedding. Thanks for replying and letting me know your experience. Wish you all the best for your wedding it will be wonderful on the new date.

I agree that it's a know your crowd thing. If you have any guests who are Jewish and observe Passover, then you would want to reach out to them individually because they will likely need to be provided with different food.

Also, if your getting married at a church, they may not allow. My venue was scheduled Mother’s Day weekend and we had to end early so they could set up for brunch. Might be an issue for Easter.

I think it's a great way to celebrate a new beginning!

4/20/19 was our original choice until we realized it was the Saturday before Easter. We had a destination wedding and realized flights were crazy expensive and our guests likely had their own traditions—even the non-religious!

My fh and i were planning on getting married the day before easter, but i told him i dont want to see my family the next day lol. My fh and i are waiting for marriage and to move in together. So after i told him that, he agreed and we moved it the following week lol.

Depends if most of the family and friends being invited are super religious. If not, I wouldn't worry about it. Also, since your wedding is having to be rescheduled due to the virus, I think many of your guests will understand.

I Think it Would Be Okay.

Depends on your guests. Know your crowd... Are they religious? Do they usually have plans on Easter? Note that some families don’t celebrate Easter but may use the day to get together with family and friends.

Agree with all of the others. Going to a wedding on Easter Sunday wouldn't phase me in the slightest but if you have religious friends or other guests you may want to consider how it would impact them and if they would be willing to attend. I'm also not sure how having an Easter Sunday wedding would impact your choice or cost of vendors. I imagine this would vary regionally, with it being more difficult to appeal to vendors and guests in more religious parts of the country and being practically a non-issue in areas with high agnosticism and atheism.
