Hi all,
New here and in the early stages of planning our wedding. We have found a venue we adore and to get married on a weekday is substantially cheaper than a weekend. My OH is a teacher and the majority of his family/guest list are older relatives that are retired and my mom works in a school; so for a quite a few of us, getting married on a week day during half term is no issue. We have about half of the guest list that will have to travel as we are from different parts of the country and our friends are scattered across the UK.
We decided straight away that we don't want to get married on a Saturday as my OH would like to be able to enjoy the day before the wedding (and rightly so!) so we considered a Sunday, but as it turns out the venue is far cheaper on a Monday.
My question is, it is reasonable to consider getting married on a Monday if it's better for us? We know there will be people that won't attend and others that will complain (we have been engaged only 3 weeks and we've already had a lot of people complain about certain things we've discussed!) but honestly, it would mean we could open our invitations out to people who are on our "if we can fit them" list, rather than people we are obligated to invite.
TIA! x
