You’ve skipped the “Yes I do” aspect, you are on course to cement your vows at the altar or before friends and families, and the wedding planning kickstarts. Well, you will want to first choose a convenient wedding date. Naturally, Saturdays are the favourite to come to mind. In fact, according to Wedding Spot Blog, Saturday is the most popular day of the week for weddings. Since that’s the case, societal pressure might force you to follow suit. However, it is your special day! You may have seen an opportunity on weekdays and felt it isn’t realistic or a bad idea. No! You may be wrong.
Here are 5 Reasons Why Marrying On Saturday Is Not A Good Idea!
1) Save Some Cash – Vendors and venues charge less on non-Saturday weddings. Your preferred vendor will charge you less on a weekday because there is no competition or demand for his/her services. Venues are less occupied and engaged during the weekdays. Aside from probably giving you a discount, you might be able to scoop some extra hours as you may be the only utilizer of the place. The overarching reward is that you can be able to save enough cash to treat yourself to a lovely honeymoon or forward payment for your desired housing unit. Save some cash!
2) What If Saturday Is Not Your Special Date? – I do not know how far your imagination stretches. But, sometimes, we may want to be innovative with our wedding date. For instance, do you want to get married on the day your parents tied the knot? Have you always envisioned marrying on the day you and your partner met? Your chances of landing your dream wedding date are much better if you don’t restrict yourself to a Saturday wedding.
3) Saturday Will Be Free For Cruising – Whether it is on a Monday or a Thursday, tying the knot on a weekday leaves the rest of the weekend, especially Saturday, at your disposal. Saturday would be used for laxity purposes. You can schedule a time for your family members on a Saturday. If you have guests coming out of town, you can use Saturday (which could have been a day of wedding hassle), to show them around.
4) Avoid Conflict – So when considering putting up your wedding date, you should be aware of potential conflicts. Let’s say you are one of many people in your social group or organization with a wedding coming up. In that case, your desired guests may have other options. You wouldn’t want some of your friends to ditch your event for another. If you choose a non-Saturday wedding, you’ll have less competition or possible clash with other events.
5) Potential For Upgrades and Add-Ons – Similar to point 1, by choosing a non-Saturday for your wedding, you may get added services. Venues may upgrade you to a better space. Vendors may provide a discounted rate. Your minimum for food and beverage may be less.
