Hi ladies, I'm looking for some feedback on possible wedding dates. A majority of my guests will be out of town guests so I want to make it a time that is most conveniant for them. For this reason I was thinking about having my wedding on a holiday weekend for the three days most of them would have off anyways? Any thoughts on this? Also I do have a good amount of local guests as well, do you think it would be an issue for them?
If I do decide to have my wedding on a 3 day holiday weekend will it ultimately be more expensive for me with vendors? I'm worried that the vendors might charge more because I would be taking away their holiday weekend?
Also, on a different note like I said, I have many guests coming from the East Coast who will be not only paying for thier flight but hotel as well. I have heard about gifts for out of town guests do you think this is something that would be expected? I don't have a large budget and I'm not sure exactly what I would give as gifts for out of town guests. I have heard of gift cards, sports tickets, fruit baskets etc. but this can all be pretty pricey. Thoughts on this would be great too!
Thanks so much!
