How close can your wedding be to your friends wedding?

There’s no rule but it’s a lot to ask of guests to go to back to back weddings. If there will be a lot of people attending both I would space them out a few months.

A couple weeks apart would be plenty of time if you want your friend at your wedding. Any closer and you risk her being on her honeymoon if her wedding was first. Vice versa if your wedding is first.

If you have mutual friends who will want to attend both I'd space it out at least three months. I doubt you and your friend would be catty, but I would be afraid you might start trying to keep up with each other and go overboard. And i know i wouldnt be secure enough to deal with it. Id be afraid people were comparing. But if it's a casual friend who wont be attending your wedding and there won't be a lot of guest overlap, I say it doesn't matter.

I would just talk to your friend. See if what your looking at for a date would be too close to hers.

Hers Is May 18th and I was considering second week in June. We are best friends. So some friends will attend both. But I don’t know if that’s too close, but I Also want to avoid going to far into the summer months because I’m a sweater and so is my fiancé and I want one less thing to worry about. Lol. We’re in MI

Sweater as in sweats a lot lol.. I’ll be inside most of the time haha but just if we get a 90 degree muggy day in MI, didn’t want to worry about that lol

We got married 3 weeks after one couple in H’s friend group and 6 weeks before another couple in that same group. Everyone attended every wedding and it wasn’t an issue for any of us. A few of the couples in that group actually attended another friend’s wedding the same day as ours (we were in the morning, their other friend got married at night).

My friend is getting married three weeks after me.

I would recommend asking her. We are in a similar situation except its a family member, and although they did ask us and we did not care, its starting to become an issue w/planning pre wedding parties and them being concerned that their wedding might be similar to ours.

I think a few weeks in between would be good. If you are both in each other’s wedding, just make sure to coordinate so that you don’t schedule things the same day or weekend.

Our friends who got engaged 2 weeks after us are getting married 2 weeks after us... We are all pretty cool with that. Means we get to go on 3 trips in july. (My wedding, honeymoon, their wedding) then we move across the countey.

It depends on the couple and the distance I think. If you don’t have a lot of mutual friends and you live close by I don’t see a problem with even a week later. But if you have a lot of mutual friends and some need to travel it’s a lot to ask on a short amount of time.

Im getting married in August 2019 and my friend is getting married in November 2019. Were both each others bridesmaids! Just space out the wedding within 3 months so everyone can get there finances in order.

A few weeks should be okay if your best friend and mutual friends who will want to attend both weddings are local. If they aren’t, talking to these people before settling on a date would be best.

Thanks all for your input. We settled it and will be 4 weeks apart. We have mutual friends that will be attending both, but not a ton of people. As many of you suggested we are going to coordinate our dates for events. thx so much!
