My girlfriend called me last week to tell me that she was engaged. In her mind, I must be a wedding expert or something because she had a million questions for me! LOL!
The first question that she had for me was about Friday/Sunday weddings vs. Saturday weddings.
If she decides to have her wedding on a Friday or a Sunday, she will reap several rewards: both financial and otherwise. She will save time, a probably a significant amount of money and she'll find that her guests will appreciate having a Saturday free to spend time with her and other guests they know.
For Friday or Sunday weddings, the majority of banquet facilities, photographers, limo companies, etc are much more willing to negotiate in order to reach a price that suites her budget. Vendors tend to see Friday and Sunday as bonus days. Savings on these services can really add up, making this a fantastic option to save money without having to sacrifice the quality of her wedding.
A Friday evening wedding with a ceremony followed by dinner can possibly avoid the extra cost and hassle of a cocktail party. Having the ceremony and reception back to back may ensure more people at the ceremony. Additionally, a Friday/Sunday wedding can free up at least one day of the weekend which can make your guests more appreciative of the extra time, especially if they are traveling.
