The Benefits Of Getting Married On A Weekday

Modern Wedding Posted: June 6, 2020

Are you looking for a way to shake up your big day and step outside the box? Well, maybe a weekday wedding is what you need! Whether you are looking to save a bit of cash, have a more intimate event, or wanting to celebrate into a long weekend, a weekday wedding is worth considering. Check out these killer benefits of getting married on a weekday and start planning your whimsical Wednesday wedding!

Via Raw Photographer

Stand Out…

Your wedding will definitely be one your guests will remember for a long time! If you are looking to shake things up and go against the grain, a weekday wedding is a perfect way to be different. Break up another mundane work week with a celebration that will be epic. Your wedding will be one of a kind, and whilst it may not suit every guest, many will be begging you to get married again so they can celebrate midweek with you!

Via Nicholas and Kaitlyn’s Wedding

It’s All About The Money…

The biggest benefit that comes from a weekday wedding is the massive savings in price! Your budget will stretch a lot further on a weekday and if you have a tight budget but big wedding dreams, a midweek wedding is a perfect way to get your dream day at a reasonable price. Many vendors and venues will offer discounted weekday rates and you could find yourself saving all kinds of cash!

Via Confetti

A Date To Remember…

Maybe you first locked eyes in a cafe on the 3rd of June, or maybe its the day he asked you to marry him. Every couple has a special date and why not celebrate your wedding on that day. The beauty of being flexible about what day you have your wedding on will allow you to get married on the perfect date rather than day. Celebrate that milestone on a date that will be forever remembered as the most important day of your life.

Keep It Low Key…

Maybe you aren’t the type for a big party and are looking for a way to keep your day more intimate and low key. A weekday wedding is a perfect excuse to be a bit picky with your guest list and create your cool casual wedding. Some of your guests may not be able to attend but this doesn’t have to be a bad thing! This could be the perfect way to slim down that guest list and just have your nearest and dearest there on your special day.

Via Isabel and Robert’s Wedding

Did Somebody Say Long Weekend…

Or, maybe you are the complete opposite and want to make it a huge celebration! Why not get married on a Thursday or Friday and carry on the celebration into the weekend? Long weekend weddings can turn into a massive festival of fun and are a perfect way to really catch up with all your guests. Book out a venue for the entire weekend and make your wedding a huge event. Plus, having an extra day to sleep off the champagne is never a bad thing.

Via Perla Photography

That Special Place…

We all have that dream wedding venue that is so perfect we couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Maybe it was where your parents got married, or it is just so breathtakingly beautiful you couldn’t imagine anywhere else. Securing your dream location can be very difficult on a weekend if it is a popular venue. Take the stress out of pushing out your wedding date or trying to find an alternative and book your dream venue with more ease on a weekday. You may even save yourself some cash!

Via Kimo Estate

That Special Thing…

Just like venues, vendors can be super difficult to lock down on weekends. Popular vendors can be booked out for over a year in advance, which could cause massive changes to your dream wedding day. By booking on a weekday, there’s a higher chance that your favourite band or makeup artist will be available, allowing you to create your wedding dream team. You may also get a discount for having it on a weekday which is an extra bonus!

Via Jenna Bechtholt

No Clashes…

We’re sure we all have experienced having multiple events on one weekend and having to make the tough choice which one to cut. Well, you won’t have to worry about clashing with your besties wedding or your uncles birthday now! A weekday wedding is a sure-fire way to secure your date without any clashes. People’s schedules will be clear and there will be no hard feelings about unattended guests because of other events.

Is it rude to plan a weekday wedding?

Via David’s Bridal

Hawaii, Paris, and New York…

With all those extra savings from your weekday wedding, you could use the extra cash to spend on your honeymoon. Your wedding is only one day, but your honeymoon can be for weeks or months! Why not extend the trip and add another destination and spend more time with your partner in a foreign location. Plus, if you head off after your wedding on a weekday you will save some more cash on cheaper flights.

Via Lily O’Brien

Boss, I’m Leaving Early…

Okay now, who doesn’t love an excuse to leave work early! You will be the talk of the office, giving your guests a free pass to leave the office early to celebrate your big day! Weekday weddings are an exciting excuse to finish your work week early and your guests will be sure to thank you. They’ll be watching the clock all day to check when they can scoot out and get glammed up for your big day.
