Is it ok to have a wedding on Saturday June 30th, 2012? Would that be considered a holiday weekend due to the 4th of July being the fallowing Wednesday?

My wedding is the 29th and several girls on the board are the 30th. Not sure if its the holiday weekend, but what does that matter?

Im June 30th and didnt even think about it being the weekend before 4th of july until after I had booked all of my big stuff! It is what it is I guess! I wouldnt say its a bad thing, theres always a chance, whenever your date, that certain people may not be able to come, I say go for it if you like the date! I do

My wedding is on June 30th. I was aware that it was a holiday weekend and made sure to get my STDs out early because I knew people may be traveling around July 4th....

So...I think it's okay to have a wedding on June 30th

My date is the 16th but I personally wouldn't consider that weekend the holiday weekend. I think the following weekend would be.

The last wedding we attended was on Thanksgiving weekend. They had plenty of people show up.

It really depends on your guest list and what people will be doing that weekend on whether or not you could pull it off. I would ask around if you're concerned people may have other plans and go from there.

No matter what day you choose, chances are that someone will have something else already planned.

Our wedding is June 30th and actually it is a holiday weekend for my family (dad's side is Canadian, so Canada Day is the 1st. I know they'll all make it, though, it just gives them an extra day for traveling back

)

The 4th is on a Wednesday so I think the weekend on which people celebrate could be either the weekend before or the weekend after. I think you'll be fine.

My date is the 30th also, and I do not considered it to be a holiday weekend. Where I am from, the 4th will be celebrated on the 4th. We looked as it as a free day. Meaning, I do not have to use a vacation day because it is a holiday so I have extra day for the honeymoon

chelseakopperud · December 2011

My wedding is 06.30.12 and is planned that way so that I had an extra day off for my honeymoon. If people can't make it because of the 4th then thats ok.. no matter when your wedding is, some people will not be able to make it. I am not sure why it being a holiday weekend even matters....

ETA: A close friend of mine got married 07.04.09 and had a great turn out.

I was a BM in a July 3rd wedding. It was a Saturday and (obviously) the 4th was a Sunday. It really was no big deal. Only three people that RSVP'd yes didn't make it.

franklissa · December 2011

I think the 30th is a good day for a wedding. I wouldn't consider it a holiday since the 4th is on a Wednesday.
My wedding is on the 16th and Father's Day is on the 17th but it was the day we wanted.

Shanee18 · December 2011

Couple things:

1. The actual holiday is on the 4th so I really don't see a Saturday wedding interfering much with the holiday celebration that takes place 4 days later.

2. If someone were really to choose a holiday over a wedding, than they probably are not very close with you or your Fi. (Not sure if that is what you were getting at by asking if it is "okay".)

3. Please try to only hit the post button once...I know sometimes it seems like it isn't posting, but TK is from the stone age so it needs that minute after you hit the button to "think"..

drewmw · December 2011

According to a couple of my vendors, that is not a holiday weekend. They charge more for holiday weekends, but they aren't charging me that rate, sooo... yeah!

MMRoberts11 · December 2011

I definitely think its fine. If your worried about it I'd just give your guests the heads up ahead of time with a save the date.

kelsey+brandon · December 2011

Ugh. I accidentally hit no. Clearly I think it's okay because that's when my wedding is. Sorry!! I wish I could change it!

strawberry5889 · December 2011

You can have your wedding whenver you want girl! lol

Megbo2012 · December 2011

Just like you get one day for your wedding, they get one day for the holiday. That is my date and I don't really think I'm biased. I would never have even though of it being near 4th of July considering that's 4 days away. And even then it's not Christmas.

ETA: I should also say that if people didn't come because of that I could not care less.

kely25 · December 2011

June 30th is also my wedding date! I hit no by accident too (I was answering the 2nd question not the first!!) FI brought this up when we were thinking about our date, but we decided to just let people know the date early so they don't plan any BBQ or vacations... We decided if there are fireworks that weekend for our city we would just pretend they are for our wedding! Haha

This exactly! I say go for it!

ncd5015 · December 2011

My wedding's on the 30th and I can't wait! No I don't considered it the holiday weekend. If anything, I'd say the weekend after the 4th the holiday weekend - if it can be considered that since the holiday is actually on a Wednesday

squarepeg72 · December 2011

Our wedding is on the 30th too. I don't consider it a holiday.

sweet_melissa81 · December 2011

My wedding is on the 30th of June and I'm not too concerned with it. Most of the time Fireworks are done on July 3rd. I'm not too concerned with it being a holiday weekend.

mrspatnou · December 2011

I am getting married on June 8th (destination wedding) but we are having a picnic for the entire family on July 14 because our town's 4th celebrations are on the 7th of July. You will be fine! remember those that want to be there will be there.

Purple&7 · December 2011

June 30 is my grandparents wedding anniversary! We always leave on or around that date for our annual family vacation, which takes place the week of July 4th. Everybody is allowed to choose thier wedding date, so choose the one you want! I would attend a wedding during that weekend.

sweetcanadian1979 · December 2011

My wedding is the 30th as well which is an actual holiday weekend (in canada, july 1st is canada day). I picked it for that reason, it gives all our oot family an extra day to visit if they so choose. I sent out std's early as well for that reason. Most will come, if they choose to go camping or something else then they obviously don't support us well & i will not worry about it.
