We came across this article at Brides.com., and thought that this was great information to pass along. Not only for our soon-to-be-wed readers, but also for those of us who are planning events for the rest of 2017 and 2018.
From Brides.com: When you're starting to look over the calendar and pick out for your wedding, it's always good to note which dates may be a problem for your budget, your guests, and even your venue. Here are six wedding dates to avoid in 2017 and 2018. 1. Weekends with a Monday holiday While you may be able to score a discounted rate from the venue to have your wedding on a Sunday night, since most people have the Monday holiday off, you'll find that flights and hotel costs skyrocket on these weekends. Keep this in mind when picking one of these, as some guests may have to decline coming because of the extra travel costs. Memorial Day Weekend of May 27-29, 2017 Weekend of May 26-28, 2018 Labor Day Weekend of September 2-4, 2017 Weekend of September 1-3, 2018 Columbus Day Weekend of October 7-9, 2017 Weekend of October 6-8, 2018 2. Thanksgiving Weekend This may seem like a great time to have a wedding, since a lot of people travel over Thanksgiving, but it can be a very tough time for a wedding. For one thing, prices for travel and hotels go up during Thanksgiving. The other reason is that people usually spend this holiday with their family members. So if you have a lot of guests who do not live locally, they may not be able to attend. Thanksgiving (always the fourth Thursday of November) November 23, 2017 November 22, 2018 3. New Year's Eve A New Year's Wedding may seem like a fun idea. What better way to celebrate the end of one New Year and the start of another than with a wedding? Beware of high prices at venues and from vendors if you plan to choose this date. New Year's Eve Sunday, December 31, 2017 Monday, December 31, 2018 4. Religious holidays Be sure to keep in mind the dates of religious holidays when picking a wedding date. Even if it's not a holiday you observe, scheduling your wedding during Lent, Passover, or Ramadan, for example, may limit guests from coming due to cultural obligations. 5. Super Bowl Sunday If you're planning to do a Sunday wedding, cross Super Bowl Sunday off your list of options. And if you do decide to have it on that Sunday, be sure to have lots of TVs accessible for the die-hard fans. Super Bowl Sunday February 5, 2017, in Houston, Texas February 4, 2018, in Minneapolis, Minnesota 6. Friday the 13th Friday the 13th is known as the day of bad luck. If you're even a little bit superstitious, you may want to skip this date for your wedding or even rehearsal dinner.
