Date notations. Is it Dd/mm/yyyy or Mm/dd/yyyy?!

In Canada it is DD/MM/YYYY. Even though my Husband usually gives me grief for typically using the American standard, for all of our wedding stuff I decided to use the Canadian standard

From my experience, most Canadians use the American format of MM/DD/YYYY. I'm from the UK originally and half our guests use DD/MM/YYYY so to be on the safe side I'll actually be spelling it out like 7th August 2020 or August 7th, 2020. Too risky when people are booking flights for them to get it wrong haha

Why not go dd/mmm/yyyy. Example 03/Aug/2019. Nothing should be confusing about that option.

From what a language professor told me once, it is dd/mm/yyyy in Canada because that's how it is in French and it standardizes it between the two languages (might have just been his professional opinion *shrugs*...seems a legit reason though)

I think a few previous posters hit it on the head that it seems to be a personal preference as much as what is grammatically correct. Just go with what you want, and, if vendors are getting confused, maybe using wording in correspondence like: I want it to have the date December 17th, 2018 in the format of 12/27/3018 (or 27/12/2018 or 2018/12/17).

Depends on what you want... but traditionally it's DD/MM/YYYY ... 12/12/2018 ... The 12th of December, 2018. K, bad example, haha... 25/12/2018, 25th of December, 2018.

Honestly, for wedding stuff, I'm spelling it out... January 19, 2019 ... it's just more formal.

I'm a mm/dd/yyyy type because I say December 9, (mm/dd) not 9 December (dd/mm).

Some people say the date first but I DJ d most people go with the montb first!

It looks like no one can agree on this. I think you should just do what makes sense for you tbh. I am one of those MM/DD/YYYY people lol.

In Canada, it is supposed to be DD/MM/YYYY. My computer uses this format:

Date format on work computer

However, there are times where I would read this as October 12, 2018 instead of December 10, 2018. My wedding is on October 19, 2019 or 19/10/2019 so there's no confusion as there's no 19th month.

You should do whatever feels right for you, you guys will know what date it is no matter what! As for vendors, I would write our the month when contacting them so they KNOW when it is.

I tried looking it up and it says that Americans write it MM/DD/YYYY and Canadians are suppose to write it as DD/MM/YYYY but I write it with the month first. I do it that way as that it how you would say it out loud or at least I would. I never say that I'm getting married on the 5th of October 2019, I say I'm getting married on October 5th 2019!

Either way is correct to just go with what you feel suits you and the FH! Or as suggested, write it all out.

View quoted message Omg i’m dumb 😂😂 whoops hahahah and thank you!

View quoted message But that is day, month, year! Haha 12,sept,2020... maybe 12 is just a very prominent number.. even I am starting to get confused. I will just avoid it if i can. Hahahah you're so lucky your date worked out that way! It looks so nice!

View quoted message I definitely would read that as December, I always assume day/month/year. Luckily we’re getting married June 6, so either way it’s 06/06/2020 😂

I have actually gone month day year... 05.24.19. I know the 24th days is obvious as theres no 24th month but I just liked the flow better! But yeah if you're having trouble I would suggest spelling it out!

View quoted message UGH same. I just like the coherant order from smallest to largest... we are 12/09/2020 and even on this app people have messaged me back saying they'd love to work my december wedding ... most of the stuff will be just for us for keepsakes anyways (card box, etc.) But it just irks me when friends point out that its "backwards"!! I know i should have better things to worry about. Just irritated. Haha

THIS IS ONE OF MY PET PEEVES. I am adamant that is be dd/mm/yyyy, but everyone I know disagrees. I'm lucky, mine is 06.16.2019 so there isn't any room for confusion, but I would consider using words if you're worried about any confusion.

I always go day month year

I think you should do what you like best. People will get it wrong no matter how you do it. That’s why I personally don’t like dates in numbers unless the day is greater then 12. Could you maybe write out the month name?
