Hey all!

I was hoping to get some advice about hosting a wedding the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Normally, I would be totally against holiday weddings but this is the only date open for the rest of 2021 and this will be my 5th wedding date. We are hoping also, due to the pandemic, this will cut down the need for people to have to travel unnecessarily because they would already be coming in for the holiday. My family is quite large and we all celebrate Thanksgiving together on Thursday so I know that family traditions should not interfere with a Saturday wedding. I am just wondering what others thoughts are? We have a lot of older guests and we do not want to push back to 2022 (together in 2011, engaged in 2018, original wedding was may 2020). **Side note: we only have 5-10 guests who would need to travel from out of state so cost of travel isn't really an issue for most of our guests and our vendors/hotel agreed to the same price as previously agreed upon due to the situation.

    Hi Ashley,


    Not sure what you decided to go with, but no matter what, the people who want to be there will make it there. Your day will be beautiful. The holiday season is about coming together with friends and family and there isn’t a better way to celebrate family and friends than at a wedding. Personally my favorite weddings have always been late November and in December, especially when there’s an open bar and seasonal cocktail 🍸!
