How much time off work before the wedding?

Tiffany, on October 17, 2017 at 10:58 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 37

Im requesting lots of unpaid time off for next year due to wedding activities. How many days before your wedding have you found that you need to get everything together? Mine is in San Diego, so it's a short drive from OC, but I think I would need time before to make sure I'm prepared.

    I'm doing a half day that Monday because I have too much PTO saved up. Then leaving a little early Thursday and taking all day Friday.

    I have most things done. Anything needed the week of is fairly minor. I rather save my time for the HM

    I took a week off just to be well relaxed before the wedding.

    I'm doing a Sunday wedding so I already have Saturday set for myself but I MIGHT take off that Friday just to make sure that everything is gathered and see if I need an extra vehicle.

    My wedding was on a Thursday, so I took off Tues and Wed before. I needed to save PTO for the honeymoon. I felt that was plenty of time, I really did not have any last minute things to do.

    Our wedding is on a Saturday - at minimum I'm taking Thursday and Friday off. Possibly Wednesday too if my boss will let me!

    We're getting married on a Sunday and have OOT guests coming in on Thursday. We're taking off Wed-Fri so we have some time to ourselves prior to the actual wedding and then we're taking nearly 2-weeks for our honeymoon.

    I'm getting married on a Friday. I'm taking off Thursday (and Friday, obvi.)

    I'll be 'working from home' on Wednesday.

    I would say at least 2 days, your just way too distracted and wrapped up in the wedding to focus at work... Trust Me!

    I'm only taking Friday off, I wish I could take more, but I just started my job in May and haven't gotten all of my vacation hours yet! I'm just praying it'll be enough!

    Our wedding is out of town on a Saturday, so I'm taking the Tuesday before off through the Tuesday after our wedding.

    My plan is to take Wednesday and Thursday off, wedding is on Friday. Then the next week we will be on our honeymoon. So I'm planning about a week and a half.

    We're trying to figure this out now since FH just started at his new job. Wedding is on Friday so I would ideally take off that week but I want the week off after as well for a mini-moon... so I'll probably just take off the day before and use whatever time I have for the following week.

    Then we're trying to plan for a 2 week honeymoon in Italy in July, which I'm saving my days for. I have to double check with my boss to see how many days off I have now since we get twenty and ten can carry over to the next year.
