So you just got engaged over the holiday season? Well congrats! After you’ve spent some time basking in the glow of your engagement announcement, it’s time to get down to business and start our planning journey! Step 1: you’re going to want to nail down your date (as well as your wedding venue<\/a>) as soon as possible. This will be the basis from which everything else comes together! If you plan on attending weddings shows<\/a>, you’ll notice that this will be one of the first questions vendors will ask.<\/p>\n

Now picking a wedding date may seem like a simple task, but you’re definitely going to want to ensure that you choose a date that doesn’t clash with any holidays, big city events and so forth. We know you can’t (and shouldn’t) try to make everyone<\/em> happy on your<\/em> special day, but the goal is to aim toward having the majority of your guest list attend! With that in mind, here are a few dates in 2020 & 2021 you may wish to avoid.<\/p>\n

Super Bowl Sunday falls on February 2, 2020 and February 7, 2021. While this may not be a national holiday, it sure feels like one! If you have any friends\/family who are football fans, don’t get married on Super Bowl Sunday, just don’t. If you do, make sure you set up TV’s as many a sports fan will otherwise be glued to their phones during your nuptials. You may also wish to avoid Family Day, falling on February 17, 2020 and February 15, 2021.<\/p>\n

Bonus<\/strong>: Valentine’s Day falls on the weekend in both 2020 and 2021. While this may not be too much of an issue with your guests, and you’re thinking a V-day wedding might be super romantic, you may be looking at higher vendor costs for things like florals!<\/p>\n

Depending on the tone you wish to set of your wedding, you may wish to avoid of St. Patrick’s Day. Of course, this will also depend on the personalities of your guest list! If your crew would love to celebrate the day on your wedding, then go for it – you\u2019d even have a default theme to work with! Oh, and if you’re superstitious at all, March 2020 also has a Friday the 13th, so you may want to avoid that too.<\/p>\n
