Im so worried about having my wedding in the beginning of November. Im afraid no one would come because it is such a weird or busy month. Any thoughts on a November wedding?

    Oh sorry we changed the date to 11\12/15. We forgot that our anniversary was on Veterans Day so Thursday was the best day we could think of that was close to our anniversary and affordable. Omg thank you guys. I always feel weird to discuss the wedding stuff with people but in this case it'd probably help to see how their schedules are.

    I'm attending two weddings in November, my sister's on Nov 8 and a good family friend's on the Nov 29, and neither seem inconvenient. I personally love the idea of a fall wedding. Smiley smile

    November is a great month for a wedding. There was one very popular bride her last year, Paris, and she was married the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The festivities really began on Thanksgiving Day, and plenty of people were around for the whole weekend. Her wedding was very well attended.

    Thursday is becoming a more popular day for weddings than it was in the past. That being said, it might not work for some people, but I think you'll still have a good turnout. Definitely get your STDs out to people who will have to travel, and be sure to put "Thursday, November 12, 2015" on the STD. Most people will assume it's a Saturday wedding, so it's best to let them know right off the bat so they can plan accordingly.

    I would go to an early November wedding, no problem. November is a long month. If it were closer to Thanksgiving or right after when people are in Christmas shopping mode I don't know. Weddings can be anytime of the year. The people who love you will be there, I wouldn't worry about an early November wedding, there is always something going on in people's lives, they will figure out a way to make it. I thought about my wedding date being in the middle of football season, because I have a lot of cousins whose kids are in college football and they are always going out of state to attend. Oh well if they can't make it. There is always going to be SOMETHING, whether it be near popular vacation times in February or April, summer just getting going, summer ending. I say as long as it isn't on a major holiday go with it!

    I don't see a problem with it. We are getting married next November 28 Which is right after thanksgiving. I've talked to family and friends before we decided this and they ask said it was fine. So it really depends on what you really want.

    We chose November because there was a significant cost savings versus having it in October. So moving it to the first weekend in November was an easy decision. The only complaints I've heard is that it might be cold, but we plan to rent patio heaters and provide blankets, and can have it inside if necessary. Most of my family is travelling from out of town, so if they can't make it due to school or work, oh well. We are giving them plenty of notice.

    We are doing a November wedding because that's what worked out the best for us. Our wedding is the Sunday before Thanksgiving. When it came to certain vendors we were able to get price breaks because the wedding was "off season" and an "off day". We wanted to do a honeymoon right after the wedding and unless we waited til next year the Sunday before Thanksgiving was the only day that would work due to FH's limited remaining time off work for the year. He wanted to wait until spring, but thankfully we found a venue we both fell in love with, settled on November 23rd and went from there.

    I was sort of upset by having mine in Nov. I wanted Oct., but the venue was not available. But, I came to terms with November and ended up loving it! I lucked out, the weather was perfect and if not, we had the fireplace on stand by. I did mine the weekend of Veteran's Day and most people could enjoy the long weekend. AND, I didn't have to compete with any of my family members. There were weddings in April, May and June weddings, so I had the whole season to myself.

    My wedding is on November 8th and have had no issues thus far. My relatives who live far away actually thanked me because it gave them an excuse to come in town to see everyone all at once before the holidays.

    My wedding is November 8th and so far we have had a pretty low decline rate! For us it was the perfect time because it's not too close to Thanksgiving and we love that time of year. =] Not everyone will be able to come to every wedding so you will always have some declines but as long as it's not on Thanksgiving weekend I wouldn't think there would be anymore declines than normal.

    Mine's this November. I've actually had a lot of people thank me for not putting the wedding in peak travel time when everything is expensive. Mind you I'm Canadian so I don't have to worry about thanksgiving in November...

    I also haven't had any issues. Actually - my one cousin who works for DisneyWorld was actually excited because she might actually be able to come (which any later (thanksgiving/xmas) or earlier (Halloween) wouldn't have been an option due to her schedule)

    Our wedding in on the 8th of November, and so far we have received a good turn around with our RSVP's. We felt that date worked great, because there is still enough time for people to go other places for Thanksgiving. Also, because our homecoming for college is in mid-October.

    Our wedding is on November 8th (I love seeing all of my date twins!) and I actually really love it! I had wanted to get married in Sept, but our venue wasn't available. Since our wedding is in the off season and because we planned early (like yourself) we were able to get discounts on practically everything. Also similar to other brides it will be right before Veterans day so a lot of my out of town guests are treating it as a mini vacation (since it is San Diego).

    November is a great month! All of the fall colors start to change and the smell of fall is in the air. We almost did a fall wedding, but decided on late September due to work obligations, etc. I say go for it!

    Our wedding was in November and right before the big holiday season/break, and at least half of our guests were from out of town (nationally and internationally), and most of them were able to get great rates on tickets to fly because they were coming into town and leaving before Thanksgiving.

    I'm getting married November 7th and so far it's seemed perfect. We are away from major holiday's and it's far enough from Christmas that it made bookings way easier and even a little cheaper.

    I think no one should get problem in attending your wedding ceremony in the beginning of the November. I've also attended wedding ceremony in the beginning of this month, and It's not so much busy month, as your guest couldn't come.
