Wedding planning can be a stressful time. Chances are you likely will have to compromise because of pricing, availability, and other factors. This can make wedding planning that much more difficult. However, there is one way to make the entire planning process so much easier. Have your wedding on a weekday! Here, we’ll outline all the top reasons to consider a weekday wedding!
Top Reasons to Have a Weekday Wedding
More Availability
For 2022 and 2023 weddings, this is probably the TOP reason you’ll want to shoot for a weekday wedding. Chances are you’ve been fighting other couples for the venue you want, the DJ you want, the caterer, and so on. These next two years are jam-packed with weddings. Therefore, it’s no easy task to get everything organized and planned while having to worry about availability from each vendor. A wedding on a weekday would likely allow you to take a bit more time when planning. Think about being able to plan your wedding without having to feel like you’re racing. Not to mention, higher-quality options will be available!
Not Fighting Weekend Events
One major benefit of weekday weddings is that you’ll get to plan for a night that likely doesn’t have any sporting events, concerts, or anything else people may be looking forward to. You’ll get all the attention on this one day. Think about the frustration you might have if getting married on a mid-November wedding and your family is busy watching college football on their phones as you share in your first dance together. Getting everyone’s attention on your big day is a blissful feeling that not every couple can say they got to experience.
Can Be More Laid Back (if you want it to be!)
A weekday wedding allows you to be more selective with guests. Oftentimes you can be a little bit more laid back with them. When you break the tradition of having a Friday or Saturday night wedding, you open the door to break other traditions. To many people, a wedding with 50-75 guests and a short ceremony is an absolute no-go. However, to other couples that sounds perfect! If you’re aiming for a more intimate wedding ceremony and reception, a weekday wedding is 100% the way to go! Break those traditions and simply have fun.
Can Be More Affordable
Often times vendors are much more willing to work with you on your budget if you’re getting married during the week. They aren’t as likely to get booked up on those dates so they may be looking to fill in those dates at a cheaper price. If you want to plan the wedding of your dreams but are on a bit of a budget, there’s absolutely nothing wrong at all with a weekday wedding! It’s well worth it for any couple. Keep in mind, not EVERY vendor is going to be able to budge on their price for different dates, but weekday weddings do open up the possibility of being more flexible on pricing. Pricing alone is a huge reason to consider a weekday wedding!
You’ll Get More Unique Dates!
Limiting wedding dates down to just the weekends interferes with how unique the wedding date can be. However, that is not the case when you plan to get married on a weekday. You’ll realize that you can pick any wedding date you want! For example, 2/22/22 of this year is such a fun date to get married, but it’s a weekday. If you think that you absolutely have to get married over the weekend you’re automatically eliminating this date.
When you decide it’s okay to get married on a weekday there are tons of possibilities that open up to you. It’s well worth it to take a peek at possible weekday dates that you could get married on. There are plenty of reasons to pick a weekday for your wedding!
