Hi y'all! How did you guys choose your wedding date? Is your date a significant date in your relationship, or is it something else?

    We wanted a late fall wedding so we could have it in our backyard. Living in Florida, there's only a few nice months where the weather is reasonable for an outside wedding. We chose November and we did not want it close to Thanksgiving, so we decided on the 16th.

    Oh wow! That sounds fun! How many people (roughly) are invited? Wondering because it sounds like a fairly intimate event

    We went by how the availability of my sister who lives in UK together with her family and my fiancés brothers availability(divorced) with his kids. My sister is my maid of honor and fiancé’s brother is his best man. It was very important for us to make sure that our family members be there.

    We are going for 7/ 7/ 24…. This is significant for us because we are coming into our 7th year of an official relationship, and the year 2024 makes it 8 years we have been together. For us the numbers 7 and 8 are also important because spiritually 7 means completion and 8 means new beginning. So we will be making our new beginning together as one on our 8th year together. Not to mention we are 8 years and 7 months apart in age 😆😍.

    I went with a date that peonies are in season which didn’t clash with any family events and was available at my venue. 😂

    We wanted to have a wedding that wasn't during crazy hot months and away from the holiday madness. We found out that Friday weddings were more cost effective at our venue and asked what Friday's were still available. It turned out that one of the Friday's available was my dad's birthday, and we thought it was the perfect way to honor him as he passed away 17 years ago.

    It’s changed several times and was 100% based on weather in SC and working around my brothers farming schedule

    We chose our “I do” date based on we have grown children in college out of state and we wanted them to be in town. We went with the day before Thanksgiving, because everyone is in town and everyone is off the following day. Also, during the week can cut thousands off your wedding day.

    Hi!


    Thanks for asking, my fiancé picked the date originally around June of 2024. He picked a few dates in this month and we both are Christians. We decided June 23, based on the Bible verse Psalms 23. So it is a date based on our faith and our wedding theme is based on this scripture and our love story. You see we were together in our younger years and engaged, we broke up and always knew we loved each other. We both married other people and it was not the correct decision. Those unions did not work out and faith brought us back together at the right time actually perfect timing. We are older now and we are picking up exactly where we left off. We will center our wedding around our faith, this scripture will be read at our ceremony as well. We are happy to share, thanks for asking!

    I choose mine based on my great grandma's birthday as a toast to her. A lot of people book dates based on a numerical sequence that is meaningful. Some pick it based on the first day they kissed or began dating. There is no wrong way. I will say as a wedding planner that if you are specific about your date that can sometimes cost you more. Venues are usually priced based on specific dates. You might find that it is beneficial to go in with a budget in mind and choose a date that fits your budget.

    Would love to speak with you about our venue @postcardinn St Pete beach! ********@***********.***

    We are doing a convalidation ceremony and we literally just picked the last possible Saturday slot available that the church had to offer! They only had weekdays available otherwise which wouldn't work for us to invite family and somehow the date selected happened to be the busiest month and busiest weekend during peak season in my city! Who knew?! To us, the date itself is sort of insignificant, but it will become significant to us after that convalidation ceremony and that matters to us the most so we didn't mind.
