Saturdays has been marked as the day for weddings in this part of the world, probably because that is the day people take a break from work. Nevertheless, there are couples who would not want to follow the norm. In that case, it is okay and not unusual to have your wedding on a weekday. This does not just apply to court wedding, but every other type. Having a weekday wedding is not bad and here is why:
1. It is cost-effective
If you want to save costs, a weekday wedding is the way to go. Most wedding venues charge less on weekdays because they have less demand.
2. Fewer number of guests
Since most people go to work on week days, only few can make time to attend a wedding on such days. This implies you have few guests to attend to. If you want a low-key wedding, then you should try this.
3. Good excuse for destination wedding
A weekday wedding provides the opportunity to have a destination wedding. Only family and selected guests would be invited and you can turn it into a vacation if you please.
4. More time to party
A week day wedding is flexible enough to accommodate all your wedding festivities. When you plan your wedding on a Saturday, your guests have limited time so they plan go home on Sunday for the coming week. If you plan your wedding on a weekday before the weekend, you can schedule other fun group activities in the coming days.
5. Popular vendors are accessible
Asides getting good deals and offers from these vendors, they are free unlike Saturdays that they would be on hot demand. So you can get quality and value for your wedding budget. Popular photographers, videographers, event planners/designers, hair/makeup stylists, DJs or bands will often book weddings several months or even a year in advance. Incase your favorite vendor is already locked into another event, consider a weekday wedding to increase your chances of working with them.
