"a Friday wedding, I've never heard of that". Makes me want to pay an extra 15K to have it on a Saturday. I really want an evening wedding where people would kickback and unwind-not worrying about work the next day. Now I have to worry about people not coming becaue it is a Friday. Ugh!

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
Dont sweat it, I am having a friday wedding and though it may be hard for some people if they really want to be there they will be there.
Not saying a saturday wouldnt be nice, but we cant afford it, people dont realize how much wedding actually cost these days

I should add that the "extra 15K" is not an option!

Yeah thats a hefty price tag!
We wanted a saturday but we are happy with our friday...besides it gives everyone time to recoup over the weekend!

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
Chalk it up to that individual being from OOT, and not realizing how expensive a LI wedding really is.

you would die to see the prices down here (SC)
You caneasily have a wedding for 10K including everything...and easily have a wedding for 60K including everything
We have OOT ers and they all were excited about taking a day off of work!!!

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
These comments about the day of the week really get to me. We booked a Saturday night and some people had comments about the time. How crazy is that? Trust me, the same people would comment no matter what day!!!!

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
People can be so critical! They just don't know how INSANE it gets in NY with this stuff (why I wanted to elope!) 15k is a huge difference and Friday night weddings are a little better than Sunday b/c you do have the rest of the weekend! One of my BM weddings is on a Friday. Same rationale "if they really want to be there-they will be!". Don't worry about it!

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
Well I have to admit that I too at one point in time (two years ago) was one of those people who thought that about a friday wedding, as well as a holiday weekend wedding. Now I am one of those people who needs to use those days, and that type of weekend. Your right people don't realize how it is in NY to get married. I am know in the situation where I might have to change from Sat to Fri, and I don;t mind. Whoever comes, will enjoy themselves, b/c I know FH, and I will

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
Don't worry about it at all! A Friday night wedding is great and people will be there. This person is clearly not from LI. Friday night weddings are so common.

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
Some people just dont realize what they say my upset others. I have been to plenty of Friday night weddings and I am myself getting married on a Friday night. I am sure that this is the opinion of one and most will have an amazing time!!

100% agree. saturday r much more expensive. big reason why we opted for a friday wedding. besides, it gives us the whole weekend to party before leaving for our honeymoon monday.

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
I am having a friday night wedidng & couldn't be happier...in fact I was talked into a friday night wedding by one of the banquet managers at a hall I didn't book at b/c as she said everyone will either take a half of day or take off (which everyone loves) & its friday after a long week of work everyone wants to have a good time. I thought I wanted a sat night wedding but when I found out it was almost $20 more a person I said forget it. People just don't understand. Honestly I wouldn't take anything anyone said personally just say to yourself my day my way--that is what I say  . Anyway I invited 314 people & 239 of them are coming so it can't be that Friday night is a bad night or uncommon!

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
Wow, I wonder what people are saying about my SUNDAY NIGHT wedding....
Don't sweat it honey, people will be there for you no matter what day or time it is! If they have "complaints" - it's better off they not be in attendance anyway b/c they're there for all the wrong reasons anyway.

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
I actually love friday night weddings and thats why I picked it!!!
I love that it is an excuse take a day off (although Im a teacher so usually summer weddings Im off anyway) and then you still have the whole weekend to relax!

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
Someone will always have something negative to say about EVERYTHING. We have to brush it off.
My wedding is on a Sat night and people are still complaining saying it goes too late. SO LEAVE!!!!!
People are just rude (& jealous).

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
the way I see it, a Friday wedding is great for numerous reasons:
1) Less expensive than a Sat night wedding
2) No weddings before or after yours. You can start the party whenever you want.
and....
3) It weeds out those guests that you are not that close to, who may have been invited out of a feeling of obligation.
The people that I am closest to will be there no matter what and will be happy to take a day off from work

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
I'm having a Friday evening wedding and I was initially worried about people not attending too. I realized that if these people love us enough then they will leave work early and attend. Don't worry about it. Everything will work out great!

Re: Sent the STD and an OOT guest said
Wow, wonder what she'd say to my THURSDAY night wedding. We fell in love with The Royalton but couldn't afford it. Decided to have it Thursday before July 4th weekend hoping that people will take off on Friday and have a long weekend for the holiday.
My parent's friends are complaining about it -- "I've never heard of a Thursday night wedding." I'm trying to not take it too seriously, the people most important to us will be there.

The people who really want to be there for your special day will be. We are getting married the Wed before Thanksgiving - from the comment of one of our guests I was expecting them to say no and they were one of my first yes's.
