3 Reason People Consider a Weekday Wedding
SPECIAL DATE: Do you have a special date in mind? Perhaps you want to get married on your actual anniversary date, first date anniversary, your parents anniversary, etc. Regardless of the reason for choosing your actual date, it is a truly personal choice and there are no right or wrong ways to do it.[/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”25″][az_buttons buttonlabel=”Click here to See Weekday Wedding Photography Pricing” buttonalign=”textaligncenter” target=”_self” buttonsize=”button-mini” buttoncolor=”default-color” inverted=”yes” checkicon=”no_icon” icon=”font-icon-phone” animation_loading=”no” animation_loading_effects=”fade_in” buttonlink=”https://jaimiedee.com/weekday-wedding-packages/”][az_blank_divider height_value=”25″][az_column_text animation_loading=”no” animation_loading_effects=”fade_in”]WEDDING SIZE: Whether it’s due to personal preference or budget, some brides just prefer a more intimate gathering. When opting to plan for a weekday wedding you might see a drop in reservation rates. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is entirely in the eye of the beholder. Being the center of attention at a large weekend wedding might not be for some. With fewer guests in attendance, you will have only your besties by your side! You will also have the added benefit of being able to spend more time and attention with each of your guests who do rsvp.
BUDGETS: There’s no denying that a weekday wedding is a more budget friendly solution all around. If you have family and friends traveling from afar for your wedding, they can save on weekday flights & hotel deals. With a smaller, more intimate wedding size, you’ll also save on catering on a smaller per head count and can afford to squeeze into a smaller sized venue as well. Many vendors also offer reduced rates for non competitive weekday wedding dates in comparison to highly competitive weekend dates.[/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”25″][az_single_image image=”9512″ image_mode=”img-responsive” image_style_effects=”default-image” image_box_shadow_effects=”no-shadow” image_alignment=”aligncenter” image_link=”no-link” target=”_self” animation_loading=”no” animation_loading_effects=”fade_in”][az_blank_divider height_value=”25″][az_column_text animation_loading=”no” animation_loading_effects=”fade_in”]
Weekday Wedding Etiquette: Some Additional Things to Consider
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR WEEKDAY WEDDING RSVP RATE
Regardless of the reason you’re planning your weekday wedding, if you’re wanting a higher rsvp rate, there are a couple extra little things you can do to ensure you’ll get the best possible turn out.
- Book your date far in advance! This will give your family and friends time to request off work if they can.
- Book your weekday wedding in the evening! This will give your family and friends with the 9-5 jobs an opportunity to make it out without requesting time off work.
- Book your weekday wedding on a bank holiday! If your family and friends are limited on the days they can request off, why not schedule your weekday wedding on a bank holiday? (This, however, might also spike rates with certain vendors as well.)
- Book your date close to a weekend! If you have family and friends traveling for your wedding, it’s much easier to travel on the the weekend if you only have to request one or two days off work – as opposed to a middle of the week wedding that may require multiple days off for travel.

MAKE IT SPECIAL!
For all your family and friends who are taking time off work to attend your weekday wedding, show them some extra love! Spending extra time and attention with your guests that made the special effort to come out goes a long way. Organizing shuttles & transportation and finding awesome hotel deals for out of town guests goes the extra mile in making your family and friends feel extra welcome![/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”25″][az_buttons buttonlabel=”Click here to See Weekday Wedding Photography Pricing” buttonalign=”textaligncenter” target=”_self” buttonsize=”button-mini” buttoncolor=”default-color” checkicon=”no_icon” icon=”font-icon-phone” animation_loading=”no” animation_loading_effects=”fade_in” buttonlink=”https://jaimiedee.com/weekday-wedding-packages/”][az_blank_divider height_value=”50″][az_single_image image=”10318″ image_mode=”img-responsive” image_style_effects=”default-image” image_box_shadow_effects=”no-shadow” image_alignment=”aligncenter” image_link=”no-link” target=”_self” animation_loading=”no” animation_loading_effects=”fade_in”][az_blank_divider height_value=”50″][az_column_text animation_loading=”no” animation_loading_effects=”fade_in”]
