I'll move my wedding day from a Friday to a Saturday if...

Some people!!!

People just love a good moan..

I'm a sunday wedding and getting the "oh what am I supposed to do about drinking if i've got work tomorrow"

As you said-- Give me the £1000 an I'll move it! x

Yep I'm getting married on a Friday instead of a Saturday. Selfish me. Someone else then stuck there nose in, so I told them I'm probably paying a days pay worth to have them both there so if they wana just come in the evening saves me money to spend on someone that does wana be there.

These people are must have family whose place will quickly be given to want to have friends if they carry on.

How rude - I agree with Jo, if they're complaining, I'd demote their invite!

My wedding was a Friday and we had nobody complaining outright, although a few pointed comments that 'it's not typical to have a Friday wedding'. It's simple - if our wedding is worth a day's leave, then come, if it's not, don't!

This!!!!xxx

ps I got married on a Friday, it was brill

Date twin, tell them to p1ss off.

My nan moaned about it being on a Friday. She's 77 and doesn't even work funnily enough.

Sone people need to just do one.

Some people are so rude!!

I'm getting married on a fri, not because it was cheaper (it won't be) but because I want that date and I like the idea of the majority of my guests having a long weekend. Bridezilla moment - it's my wedding so will choose when I get married!

As others have said, the people who won't make a fuss will be the people you want at your wedding.

I'm getting married on a Friday & if I hear anyone complaining I'll rip their heads off lol!

I've invited my whole team at work which means they've all gotta take a holiday day & our section will be unmanned. None of them have complained (to my face) & the big bosses are being great & saying it won't be a problem for everyone off my section to go.

I went to a wedding on a Monday. I only went to the evening as it was a work friend and we couldn't all take the day off. I also couldn't take the Tuesday off work. Yes I was tired the next day and yes slightly hungover. But I was so pleased to be invited to be part of their day and was only one day which I felt rubbish at work. I soon got over it. People have two choices, they can either go to the wedding or not. They have not right to complain about being invited to a special intimate event.

I'm getting married on a Thursday! Me and OH are both chefs, so we work all weekend. I always take time off for important things that I'm invited to at weekends, so I'm sure people will do the same for me! Plus it means that our work friends can come, as weekends would be difficult for them too. OH yeah, and not forgetting the money we're saving for a weekday in August compared to a weekend!

Thursday wedding, following Wednesday reception. It suited us & that's why we booked it, I did have a few people 'oh it a Wednesday'

OH is self employed so we had to fit it in when he was already off. No one really moaned though

That's exactly what she's thinking. My cousin (her other granddaughter) got married on a Saturday so she expecting us to do the same.

She can pay the extra £5k then as that's what it'll cost extra to have a Saturday wedding at our venue!

People always have something to moan about. I've lost count of moans about this & that. If they don't like it tell them they don't need to come! X

We have moved ours from a Saturday to Friday,

1- its a hell of a lot cheaper

2-in the hope that some poeple wont come! Ha ha sounds harsh but we know the people who really care will make the effort to have a day off, those who choose to work.....sod them!

I think that is fair enough, they may have already booked their holidays before knowing about your wedding and unfortunately not everyone's plans will revolve around your day !

I have taken holiday to attend a weekday wedding before and was more than happy to do so and would never have complained to the B & G about it but I have already booked all of my 2013 annual leave off for holidays abroad next year so if we get invited to a weekday wedding I won't be going unless they are very close friends or family as I would not be willing to lose a days pay for it, I will just attend in the evening !

Mines on a monday so cant wait to hear everyone moan when they find out haha

We got married on a Friday and didn't have one complaint. Most people booked the Thursday off as well and stayed near the venue. We got married in the Peak District so it made a nice break for people. We have also in the past been to Friday weddings and Sunday weddings and booked time off where needed without feeling like we were 'wasting' holiday allowance. If people want to use all of their holiday allowance to go abroad that's fine but it's their choice. Put the money you would have spent on their meal towards your honeymoon instead.

Exactly!

Wish it was cheaper for a Friday - we still seem to be paying premium prices!!! Off peak seems to be Mon-Thurs down here. We chose Friday because it suited us and some are coming from a long distance so we can meet up over the weekend. It's Easter hols so most will be off anyway as all have kids or are retired, but those that don't can have a long weekend and be sober by monday. Like ppl say, there will always be complaints and you'll never keep everyone happy!

I'm getting married on a Thursday.

I gave my guests plenty of notice. You'll never please everyone, it was mentioned earlier that Saturday is a working day for many people. I work many Saturdays and Sundays so a weekday invitation would be easier for me.

If your guests really want to come then they will, if they have to work then they can come in the evening.

Iv been to 2 weddings this year, one on a friday and one on a sunday. yes i had to take annual leave to attend but the people were important to me so i made the effort to go, if people complain they obviously dont care about you that much.
