Anyone getting married midweek?

We're getting married on a Tuesday and nobody has objected. And it does save a lot of money!

I got married on a Friday & had no probs. Lots of things are cheaper midweek & you may pick up a few bargains Brenda!

We're getting married on a sunday and we got a much better deal on the venue because of it.

As a guest, I wouldn't have a problem in principle, however in practice - it may not be easy to attend mid-week.

My holiday year runs from mid-year and so this year, I'm already having to take un-paid holidays for my honeymoon so holiday wise, I may not be able to get he time off to attend.

We're getting married on a Sunday, and friends have got married on a Friday - in terms of "fully midweek" - e.g. tues-thurs I think it depends how many people you want there - e.g. close friends shouldn't mind - and how far it will be to travel. I think a good rule of thumb is not to force people to take more than one day's leave - e.g. if you were getting married in Scotland on a Tues and your friends were from Devon they'd need to take the Mon, Tues and Weds off!

Hi there, I am getting married on Monday, but I am having a black tie reception on the Saturday.

I think this ia a good point. Also if anyone has children then it may be difficult to arrange childcare.

Cheers everyone - most of the guests are local so we're lucky in that respect! There are only a handful of children, two will probably be flowergirls - her best friend is a man and he is going to be her Man of Honour - bless him! Your right Sher, there are lots of discounts for midweekers - Dad is smiling already!!!

Our wedding is on a Monday & have had no one out of all 120 guests say that they can't attend. Best thing to do is give them plenty of notice that it's on a week day. We sent our save the date cards out 1 yr before to give people a heads up.

Hi, we are getting married on a Thursday and several of our friends are staying overnight, no one has complained although one guest may have a problem getting the day off as he is in the Army. Most are making a weekend of it !!

We went to a friends wedding at the end of May last year & it was on a Friday, there were certainly plenty of people there & thiose that were there, seemed to like the idea of an extra long weekend break.

It was held at the Chevin Lodge Hotel just up near leeds bradford airport & was gorgeous. My hubby & I stayed in 1 of the wooden lodges in the woods there, we had a fabulous stay.

Our friends said that they saved a fortune by having the wedding during the week as opposed to the weeeknd
