My sis got engaged a week after I did - they are having their wedding oct. 2013 we are having ours 2014, still undecided. my finance and I live out of state from the rest of my family - so they will all have to travel, those who choose to come. 
I really think I want to have a May-June wedding - is this too soon after my sisters? I dont want my family being annoyed by this b/c they will have to pay to travel for this....thoughts? Undecided (FYI I really want to be accommodating, I know its our day but still I love my family)

    I don't think it is too soon. Does your sister live closer to the family, thus eliminating longer travel to her wedding?

    <div>Yes she lives in the same state as my whole immediate family. We're in florida, where his family lives. so it'll be a quick, less expensive wedding for them vs mine. </div><div>But do you get what I mean? I just don't want them to be like "ok here we go again". ughhh. This is weird to feel this way. I should just set a date and be done, but I can't help but think about it being annoying for everyone. </div><div>I'll see them over christmas so we'll talk about it, but I just wanted to see what others thought. </div>

    I do see what you're saying, but you're looking at 7 or 8 months later, so I think you're fine.  It's not like it's the following month or so. You shouldn't have to wait a year to get married just because she set a date sooner than you did. If you're worried, though, definitely talk to your parents and get their feedback.

    I think it's a very large gap, especially since it's not like 2 destination weddings or anything. You should definitely chat with your parents, but I see no problem with it.

    agree with PP. I have had plenty of friends who got married a month after each other; my brothers were 6 mo between each other.  No way to plan around every wedding planned--your guests may even have other weddings between yours and your sisters. So if you keep planning around everyone else, you will never get married.  Confirm with your parents but you should be more than fine.  If you are concerned that mom/dad have to shell out $$ for both weddings than that is definitely a convo you need to have to have a clear budget or means of financially covering your wedding yourself.  Regardless of the date you picked there are plenty of possibilties to allow a guest to come or not.  considering yours will be the one they have to travel for, it's nice that there is at least a gap between; and its nice they don't have to travel for both!

    Run it past your immediate family, but I think that's fine.
