I'm running into a slight dilemma with what to do...
We've picked a date that we would really like our anniversary to be on 8/8/16; however, that falls on a Monday and I'm not sure if we should plan for a weekday wedding and risk having no one show up or split it by having a small ceremony on that day and then having a reception either the weekend before or the weekend after the ceremony.
I know the bonus for the weekday wedding will be cost cutting with either vendor and/or per head costs, which is good because we are paying ourselves. But the bonus of a weekend is more of our friends will be able to celebrate with us. And then there's the best of both worlds with the small ceremony on one day and the reception another... I am just not sure...
What's been your experience with these types of events?
