Couples getting married on 7/august/2019 in Alberta

View quoted message

I've been having the same experience with my Sunday wedding. Then there are the vendors who send quotes and then when I want to book are all "Oh, it's a Sunday? We can't do that unless you order more than what you have."

View quoted message That is pretty much why we are. Though I'm getting annoyed with vendors constantly replying. " is your date correct? Are you aware its a Wednesday?" Yes I am very aware, you didn't answer my question... Doesn't even send the package info, just replied assuming the dates wrong...

Same here. We do it on a weekday to avoid extra costs and over booking. Our family is all in Manitoba and Germany, and they will take time off and fly in on any day. If they want to be part of the day, they will make it work. Plus most want to spend a few days here afterwards or before anyway, so it doesn’t make a difference what days they have to take off.

View quoted message Thank you sweetie, I agree fully. My mothers wedding was on Thanksgiving weekend yet all her guests showed up. She doesn't want to financially help for the bill but she sure is loving putting in her input and opinions lol.

I know I'm not from Alberta OR have my wedding on a weekday... but I wanted to jump in here!

IMO, I think that if the people that you invite are close enough to you they can and will suck it up and make an effort to be there for you on your big day. Sure, if I were to do that I know that I would have family that just couldn't make it but that's because they live like 4.5 hours North of Winnipeg and have kids (my wedding is 18+ for booze reasons).

If your family is willing to take a day off for a funeral, then most of them (maybe not all) should be able to take a day off for your wedding. Plus... weddings are expensive... and weekdays are usually less costly... so if they want to foot the bill!! lol
