I’m having a hard time choosing my wedding date because everyone around me is also planning to get married.

    Like my friends told me, pick the date you want. Don't worry about if kids are out of school, if people can take off work, if people can fly to be there.
    You choose your date and who ever really wants to be there for you, will be there.
    Don't stress yourself out like i did.

    This sounds great, but it isn’t true. People can’t always be there. They have jobs and families and commitments. We’ve had to miss important events because of our jobs, that doesn’t mean that those people mean any less to us. Of course you should choose the date that you want, but you should also consider the schedules of your VIP guests. Remember that no one else’s wedding is going to take away from yours and vice versa. Every wedding is special and beautiful in its own way.

    We were having a similar issue and chose the date that meant the most for us and accommodated our VIPs. We understand that everyone can't attend and while all of our friends and family know they are important to us, our wedding is ours, so we chose the date that was best for us. All love, no stress.

    Aww. It sounds easier said than done for me lol.
    I guess I’m just stress about it because I have a traditional wedding and an American wedding I have to plan for. But all these advices are making me feel a little bit better . 😇

    I agree with Caytlyn. Definitely pick the date that you want, but that date should probably depend on the people you HAVE to have at your wedding.

    When we chose a date, we took into consideration my sister. She lives in California (we’re in Maryland), she goes to school full time, her husband owns and runs his own business, and my niece is still in school. So seen as how I knew I wanted her there, I gave her the list of available dates from the venue and asked her which dates she would be able to make, then we made our decision from there.

    Don't pay attention to them. Pick something you want. What we did was we sat down with a calendar. We wrote down all the important stuff and originally we wanted to get married on my parents anniversary (September 21st) but my dad said no (he says it's bad luck) so we went with the weekend before. But we also wanted to be different so we're getting married on a Friday! (Friday the 13th)

    I would check with your VIPs like parents, siblings and grandparents to see if there is a time that they are definitely not available. After that, go with whatever date you want most.

    I had trouble choosing a date at first but noticed that there was always someone who would be busy, out of town, or having their own wedding. As long as my wedding party members and both of our parents were able to attend, I was comfortable moving forward and chose the date I wanted.

    Your wedding will definitely be special and beautiful! If you are concerned about multiple weddings happening in your families, and friend group I definitely recommend sending save the dates 9-12 months before your wedding. This way guests know that they have to make arrangements, buy outfits and save for gifts for multiple weddings, and they can be more excited than stressed. I also recommend not sharing your ideas with other brides in your families. I've read soooo many posts about brides being upset because their cousin or whoever "stole" all their ideas. Overall just set the date that feels right to you and your fiance, it'll all work out Smiley smile

    I had this same problem. I originally planned on having my wedding September 14th, on my grandpas birthday, but soon found out that my cousin already set this date for her wedding. So i moved mine a few weeks out to October 6th, no biggie. Lol

    We chose our date around our schedules and the schedules of our VIP's (parents, best friends). Additionally, we need to keep our number at 150 as that is the max the venue can hold so if the random guests cannot come it will be fine.
