Basic Tips for Setting Your Wedding Date: "The When"

Many years ago, when I was a Bride, choosing the right day for our Wedding was a difficult decision to make. Primarily, the decision was hard because I was keenly aware that “The Wedding Date” would forever hold a special meaning for our families, and us so we needed to choose wisely.
The preliminary step of setting “The Wedding Date” is often considered an easy decision to make; however, it is not that easy if the necessary considerations are not made up front. The factors to consider when choosing your Wedding Date are Availability, Time, and Scheduling.

 Availability: Most weddings are held between the peak months of May through October, which could potentially pose a problem with booking a particular Reception site or House of Worship for your wedding. Please be advised, generally, these places are booked a year to several years in advance. You may need to be more flexible with your sites, date, or choose an off-peak month. For an example, The Reception Site we chose for our wedding was only available on Labor Day Weekend, therefore, our wedding was held on Labor Day Weekend and it worked for us.
 Time: The average length of engagement is twelve months. However, you may need more of less time depending on your finances, work and/or school schedules, and the style and formality of your celebration. Essentially, you would want to allow enough time to plan, organize, and execute your special day.
 Scheduling: It is very important to check with family and close friends to be sure your proposed date does not conflict with vacations or important life-cycle events, such as Graduations and Family Reunions.

Overall, choosing the perfect date for your Wedding is the first preliminary step and by following, these basic steps can be completed in a couple of weeks.
