Want to bring the wedding forward - should I?

Is there a reason you want it two months early? If it doesn't cause too much moving around I would say do it, if that's what you want.

For me I couldn't be bothered with chasing suppliers, sorting out the guest list and notifying people of the change, as well as family members that will have just given birth. What's to say they have their babies late. Personally I think it may be pushing it a little?

But hey, it's your wedding day! ?

Totally depends on your reason(s) for wanting to bring it forward.

WSS, , ,

It doesn't seem worth the hassle for 2 months but if you have a valid reason then go for it.

Dont do it, i will lose a date twin so purely for selfish reasons lol, on a more serious note if you have a good reason to want to then do it, if not then stick with what you have its not long now anyway, and if you do change to May do you have enough time to still have the wedding you want? xx

Depends on the reasons as others have said, but for me 2 months would not be worth the hassle.

We were due to get married May 2012 and brought it forward to June 2011, purely due to impatience. After switching the date we were left with 8/9 months to go which was enough time to plan everything given that we'd already chosen venue and dress. However I'm not sure I'd have bothered bringing it forward by a matter of weeks unless there was some big reason to e.g. pregnancy or being sent away for work etc.

If the attendance of the new Mums is important to you I wouldn't bring it forward. Having a baby who is a couple of weeks old is a lot more difficult than having one who is a couple of months old. I had c sections and would not have physically been up to attending an all day wedding within the first 6 weeks after the birth. Even those who had normal births will still be recovering in May from an April birth and the babies might arrive up to two weeks after the due dates too.

The reasons for me to bring it forward would be:

Our anniversary is in May

My parents got married in May

Our honeymoon would be cheaper and better weather.

Unfortunatley after considering it, I dont think we will bring it forward as some people having babies are very close and i want to give them every opportunity to be there.

One family with a new born will be flying all the way from USA to be there.

Unfortunatley I have just found out that someone else who is much more local to us will not be coming because they are scared that their new baby will get germs at my wedding.

This has actually annoyed me slightly and I don't know if I should be taking it as an insult. Does she think that I am having a dirty wedding? Does she think that my friends are dirty people? Does she not think that living in London will mean that the baby is around many more germs than that will be at my wedding.

WHAAAAAT?!?! Are you a particularly mucky pair? Are you planning on giving the flu as your favours?!?! There really is not as queer as folk!!!

I feel that we are all very clean. The wedding will be in a clean place. Not in a field or a farm or anything that might give them cause to worry.

They are close family members too!

Hmmmmm... How strange! Maybe they'll change their minds

He he, that is what I was going to say!! Jx

Three pageant together may be grand sence,, i think i will put my wedding forward... and your can invite your friends after she give birth to her baby.... it ok ..?

I think you are maybe taking that to heart a little too much, is it the couples first baby? If so, i can understand them being overly cautious when their baby is just a few weeks old.

Wabigiggle1S. I think guests with kids seem to get a lot of stick on here as soon as they start thinking about their children ahead of wedding stuff. New parents can be a bit paranoid, but I've been there so wouldn't be cross at them about it- it's natural!

As for your honeymoon, have you thought about leaving that 'til later in the year when it gets cheaper again?
