So thanks to everyones help we found the perfect venue. The only thing is to make it within our budget we'd have to go with the Thursday night option instead of Friday night. (saving $2,200) What's evryone's take on a Thursday wedding??? Thanks again for all the help, you guys are the BEST!

    What venue did you pick? And I think a Thursday wedding is perfectly fine! We are having ours on a Wednesday! The way I see it, is if people are going to come to your wedding.. the will come whether it is a Thursday or a weekend day. They may have to request a day or two off of work... but they can take advantage and make a long weekend of it!

    How many of your guests will be OOT? If it's a lot and they are coming from other states, a Thursday wedding may be an inconvienence because they'll have to spend more money on lodging for an extended weekend. Though I agree with pp, if people plan on coming to your wedding, then the day of the week shouldn't matter. I believe there was a knottie on this board who got married on a Thursday last month. Maybe she will respond and give you some good advice.

    I had a Thursday night wedding in June and everybody who I wanted to come was there. A lot of DH's family came from out of state, granted a lot of them work for the school system and were out of work for the summer anyways, but everyone else took a few days off to come out. I know cobride2be83 also had a thursday night wedding. I say go for it!

    go for it! it actually worked out GREAT for me.i would recommend give PLENTY of notice. i gave our guests a year notice...plenty of time to arrange schedules and such..also consider school..i did have some teacher friends that couldn't make it and a cousin that couldn't make it because they had school but it all worked out in the end.i found that the people you want there most will be there no matter what.

    I wouldn't worry about it too much, I had a Sunday wedding. I had some family members question why I picked such on odd day, but they all showed up. I think the norm is shifting away from Fri and Sat weddings, and people will slowly get accustomed to it. If you have your heart set on a certain date or day of the week, I would suggest finding a cheaper venue. But if you're in love with the venue, go with the Thurs wedding.
