Setting the Wedding Date
The choice of wedding date is dependent on many factors, but it is important to remember that a minimum of six months is usually required to organise a wedding. Most importantly, the availability of the wedding party and key guests must be confirmed, as well as the favoured venue or church.
The season and time of year will dictate the style of the wedding; some bride and grooms-to-be also take the climate of their favoured honeymoon destination into consideration. The couple should also check that they are not clashing with any other significant events.
Once the date is finalised, it is a good idea to send out save the date cards.
