Hello Ladies,
One of the most important parts of your wedding is your date. When it comes to picking a date a lot goes into it, there are many questions you and your fiance need to ask yourselves before you decide.
First off, how much time will you need to prepare/plan? After deciding you then will have a time frame you can zone in on.
Do you have your heart set on a particular season? If so think about any important family events, pregnancy due dates, birthdays or graduations and try to avoid those dates.
Don't plan around big conventions or charity events in your area because locations and vendors might be booked up. You can call your local chamber of commerce to check.
Avoid holidays because people might not be able to attend due to family commitments and prices for everything from location, florists, lodging, travel and caterers might be higher.
