Wedding Infatuated

If you are planning to hold your wedding on or near a major holiday there may be a few things you should be aware of. For many reasons holding your wedding on a major holiday can be a great thing. One of the largest benefits is the fact that most churches and other wedding venues are already decorated for the holidays. You can save a lot of money on decor. Another benefit is the fact that many venues also offer cut rates near holidays to encourage people to host their holiday parties there. If you shop around carefully you’re bound to find great discounts in many places.

Now the down side. Photographers, florists, caterers, DeeJays and bakers are all working over time this time of year. This means not only will you not get any great deals here but you can also expect to have difficulties finding available vendors. If you are having a holiday wedding be sure to shop around early. 

Another consideration are the guests. Most of your guests will make plans for the holidays a month or two out from the event, especially if they are travelling. For this reason you need to either send “Save the Date” cards as soon as you nail down your date or you need to send out invitations early. Even with this forewarning, however, it is possible that fewer people than expected will show up due to financial stress and time restraints of the guests.

As long as you are aware of the situation beforehand you should be well on your way to having a beautiful holiday wedding that people are sure to remember for years and years to come.
