Wedding date issue!?

My fiance and i are trying to finalize the wedding date. Since i am still planning on doing some classes we have decided to have the wedding during winter break. After looking at the dates of when school end/starts for winter break, the dates are December 15 or December 29 of 2007. Do you think that those dates are too close to christmas and i should avoid those days?? we dont want to wait until June to get married.

Wedding date issue!?
I am a man. Speaking for men in general, try to get married as close to a MAJOR holiday as possible. At least that way your intended has a CHANCE of remembering your anniversary. The 29th would be great!! Of course you might still have to drop subtle hints (maybe not so subtle ones too). I am sorry that we males of the species were deprived of the "significant dates memory" gene.





In all seroiusness, pick the date that works best for YOU and God bless you both, happiness and long life!
Reply:If you want to have good gifts then make it before the 20th. because people go out of town on the weekend before christmas and they will be just gone. I think things will be booked very quickly because it will not be only your wedding going on..but the Christmas get togethers so hotels, halls, cars, everything will go very soon. Plan plan very well and save alot. that can be my recommendation to you.
Reply:I personally would go for New Years Eve, even though that isn't one of your dates.





People have a great time at New Year's Eve weddings. First, they'll stay up all night partying with you. Second, you give everyone a great party to go to. Third, if you have the reception in a hotel, then everyone will have a place to crash after getting drunk at your wedding.





But if you don't like this idea, I say go for Dec. 15. December 29 is too hectic for most people, I think, as they are just getting over Christmas and are gearing up for New Years.
Reply:I don't think you need to wait until june. Why should it matter if your wedding date is so close to christmas? It is your day!! Pick a day that makes you both happy and stick with it. Most people aren't going to say anything about the date you pick, they will just be happy to be there and see the two of you get married!! So, do what makes you happy and if that means getting married in december right before or after christmas do it!!
Reply:After you finalize the date, send "save the date " cards to your guests.


That way they can plan any holiday vacations around your wedding.





Congrats.
Reply:I think those days are sooo great, and so easy to plan for. I wanted a winter wedding....but then decided against it for personal reasons. (We didnt want to wait till 2007), because we got engaged in May 2006! Not a long time to plan!! Anyways, the Christmas colors would be absolutely beautiful for a wedding.... and like i said, its really easy to plan for, because you can find alot of red and greens for weddings!!! :)





Hope I could help!! Good luck in everything!!
Reply:I would want to have it Dec 29...everyone is stressed out and life is so hectic before the holidays. Then again everyone is broke after the holidays, so wedding presents might be a little skimpy (although that will probably be made up for in the costs you will cut on vendors in having a winter wedding)
Reply:I would do the 15th I think that is a perfect time people are excited about Christmas and want to celebrate and a wedding is a perfect outing for celebration. A christmas wedding sounds really nice. Not only will you be excited for your wedding but you will have twice the excitment for christmas. Good luck and happy holidays. If you need any advice planning your wedding feel free to email me. I jsut got married in September of this year

Reply:Well, I am getting married on December 16 of this year and I will tell you that it is very stressful. But that will happen no matter what time you plan it. But our reason of picking this date was because I also go to school and I'll be out. Do what you think is best for you, it's your wedding!!! And do not forget that!
Reply:Well...it all depends. If you are concerned about gifts, then don't have it on either of those dates. If you are concerned about college friends not being able to attend bc they are going home, don't have it on either of those dates.





Otherwise, go for it! If you are doing an open bar, do it on December 29th and plenty of people should come. They can always hit clubs and parties after...If no open bar, some people probably won't come.
Reply:No a lot of people get married around those times.





Pick the date your most comfortable with.
Reply:My suggestion is December 15th - as it is 10 days before the holidays. The 29 is only 4 days after christmas, and 2 days before new years so by that point, your guests are pretty tired out. The 15th, since it is before the holidays, will be more of a kick-off rather then another "thing" in the middle of it all.
