Wednesday wedding.

All the time. Especially during the summer. Do these people not go out during the week??? Let them complain. Then take them off the list.

No Wednesday wedding here but that would give me a fantastic excuse to call in sick Thursday morning...I love it. Do what you can, what you want to do and within the budget you guys have allotted.

Thanks ladies... I have had someone go as far as to say "no one gets married during the week she needs to change to a Saturday"

According to superstition, Wednesday is the luckiest day to be married

Monday for health,

Tuesday for wealth,

Wednesday best of all,

Thursday for losses,

Friday for crosses,

Saturday for no luck at all

Oh I like that thanks

Barbara: Oh well, havent had that much luck to begin with! LOL

Do you have many people having to travel to attend your wedding? I would probably have trouble traveling, but if it's local, I wouldn't have a problem. Plus, I'm not a big drinker, so I wouldn't be worried about being hung over the next day.

I only have one cousin from out of state... the rest of my family are local...FH has a few people from out of state but they more than likely won't be able to attend..

My wedding is on a Thursday and we got so much heat about it from my FH side of the family, we almost cancelled. The way I see it is, I gave them a year in advance notice by sending the save the dates, not my fault they didn't mark the day on their calendar. Also, they're not footing the cost of your wedding so whatever. The people that want to be there will be there. Simple as that.

That is a very good point. Our families have had plenty of notice too so idk why the complaining...

Not a Wednesday here, but a Sunday. I haven't heard anyone complain about it yet, but if they do, who cares? It's YOUR wedding day, so whatever you choose. If they don't like it, they don't have to come.

@Barbara what about Sundays?? :p

LOL I am glad I don't believe in superstition LOL my wedding is a saturday. I think you should do whatever fits your budget. Thise who are close to you and love you will come. But understand that people will find problems with this day of the week. This is the practical side of things. I would probably attend for an hour and leave early if I were invited to a week wedding. Unless I knew to take off thursday. Like I said, those who matter will be there. If you give them enough notice then they can take the day off the next day.

I would base acceptance on the quality of my relationship to the couple, the proximity of the event to my location, and the time. Weekday weddings require more people to have to consider both their own work schedules, spouse schedules and kid's schedules.

If the time and location are inconvenient for me, we'd have to be really close for me to use one of my precious vacation days. My fiance wouldn't be able to attend because he works weeknights and does not have enough vacation days this year.

My friends with kids had a particularly terrible time organizing to go to a Thursday night wedding they went to recently. There was a lot of scrambling for her to get home and get the kids fed and situated for a baby sitter to come, then she had to get herself ready, her husband got home late and she had to wait for him. Then they had to drive for almost 2 hours because they were battling rush hour traffic. They missed the ceremony because of it (a lot of people did).

My wedding will be on a Tuesday; I've yet to send out save-the-dates, so I haven't gotten any "feedback" from people yet...however, it's a very small wedding (20 people), and most of them are retired or have flexible work schedules, so we're not very worried. I agree with Ozella - if they really want to be there, they will.

It's just not the easiest day for guests which simply means that some people aren't going to come....but you can't accommodate everyone. Just be understanding that there's good reasons for their declines and don't hold it against them.

I know a girl who had a guest list of over 100 people for her Wednesday wedding and not one person RSVP no! So don't worry about it, if they don't want to come then fine less money for you to spend!

I will say from another point of view, I would be a little annoyed with a Wednesday wedding and would definitely prefer a Saturday wedding but I would by no means not attend because it was a Wednesday, especially if it was local. I don't have many vacation days and would not want to go to an out of town wedding in the middle of the week.

I also think for people who have children it may be a bit more difficult to find someone to watch their kids during the week or even drag them along to the wedding because they may have activities the next day. So that is why people might be a bit upset but I still think you should do what you want and stick with your decision! People will be happy or upset no matter when you have your wedding so don't worry about what others think!

Agree with most of the other posters, people who really want to be there will be there. My wedding's on a Sunday and we've had 1 person complain so far... if they don't like it, they can choose not to attend.

Side note: I think your wedding's on a great day, because it's my birthday!

Thanks everyone... We definitely understand if people can't come because of work and etc .. I just wish if they can't come they would tell us instead of trying to get us to change the date...

Laura Nicole- Happy early birthday! We found out our wedding date is the Pastor and his wife's 20th anniversary
