For some couples, a Thanksgiving or Christmas wedding is the perfect choice. Your family is already gathered in one place, so you’ll be killing two birds with one stone. On top of that, many churches and ballrooms at hotels are already decorated, meaning that you’ll save the flower expensive. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind if you’re going to plan a holiday wedding to make sure that things go off without a hitch.
~ Some guests won’t be able to make it. People are very protective of their wedding traditions. Although your friends and family may be in town, some won’t want to deviate from their normal schedules for your wedding. So, if you get married during the holiday season, keep in mind that you may be compromising your guest list.
~ Receptions halls are booked very early for holiday parties. Make sure that you find a venue early or company Christmas parties and other holiday events will fill up the schedule, leaving no room for you.
~ Some vendors may not work on holidays. That cake shop you love might be closed on Christmas Eve or your favorite DJ might be out of town for the week if you plan a holiday wedding. Make sure you confirm the date with your vendors before finding out the hard way that the alteration shop closed early and you can’t get your dress until Monday…two days after your Saturday wedding.
