Got called inconsiderate today :@

You have your wedding on whatever day you want hun!! Sod em!! I'm the same on a Sunday - people are moaning because they will want a few drinks so need the Mon off work...

Sod them. If they dont like they dont have to come do they?

I went to a wedding on a Sunday it was great perfect excuse for a day off on the Monday! To the OP it is your day (and OH) as long as you are happy that is what counts. I've gone for a Saturday as my Mum and BM are teachers. With a years notice most people can book a day off. It really would be only teachers who can't take random days off. Obviously that may not even apply to your friends/family. As long as the people you 'must' have there are able to be there it will be lovely.

WMiniS...stuff them. It's not inconsiderate, it's your wedding, your choice. Saturday wedding means people have to give up their weekends and some people work weekends too.

No one is ever 100% happy with what you do, so just go with the flow. Ours is a Thurs as the venue went up 2k for a Saturday andi refused to pay it....no one has said they can't come as they can't get the day off. If they want to be there with you, they will.

We are looking at a Friday or Sunday or weekday as well just to cut costs. Not that I have booked anything yet and we want to get married in March 2014 - eeeekkk. I am now panicking if I am leaving it too late!! Well, anyway I think with plenty of notice it will be fine and those who really care about you will come )

Our wedding is on a Thursday as it worked out half the price to have it on a weekday rather than a Saturday, it's our day so if people don't like it, stuff em hehe!

my OH's mum couldn't understand why we would book it for a weekday over a Saturday...felt like shoving the brochure in her face and telling her if she's got the extra £5000 to have it on a Saturday then be my guest! Lol

I was gonna say....don't invite her. Don't let her get to you, what she said is just rude and spiteful and she's kind of proven that it's right she doesn't make the guestlist! How snarky!

Did you say it was a good job she wasn't invited then? Wouldn't want her struggling to get the day off now ?

My wife's nan refused to come to our wedding because it was on a Friday and it was inconsiderate of us. She was in her 70's......Its not like she had anything else to do! It was her loss!

Ha! This!

You're not inconsiderate at all. Besides, some people have to work Saturdays so have to book Sat weddings off as annual leave & no-one calls those bride/grooms inconsiderate! What a grumpy cow!

People like that really get on my nerves. It's none of her business at all (or anyone else's) which day of the week you get married. You are not being considerate, you are being practical. We have attended weddings on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays and had a great time. We are getting married on a Friday too because it saves us nearly £2k by doing so! All our friends are happy to take a day off work because thery have had plenty of notice.

Ignore your boss and do what you want.

Tell her to jog on!! what's it got to do with her anyway unless she is putting up some funds she needs to keep it shut!!

Oh yeah and what DW said too..

But for the vast majority of people with a normal working week a weekday wedding is awkward. Yes for a loved one you'd take time off work but you would most definitely want the day after off as well so it's at least 2 days leave for people.

I can well understand your reasons and obviously it's your choice but I do think she has a point but not worded it well.
