Is it okay to get married on a Friday?

I think it's fine.

I had a Friday wedding, so I know a little something about them. You will have people who can't make it. That's totally normal. Even if you held your wedding on a Saturday, there would be people who can't make it. You are going to run into a few folks who say "But, a Friday? People will have to take the day off of work!" Which, yes they will. If they can. If they can't, then they'll send their regrets. You'll be bummed and you'll miss them, but your wedding will still be fabulous even if that particular person can't be there.

You are asking them to travel halfway across the country for a wedding - honestly, you're already asking a lot of people. There's nothing wrong with that, but don't pretend that it won't already be a little expensive and inconvenient. Adding a Friday wedding on top of that probably isn't going to register. But, I've attended Saturday weddings that were local that were HUGE pains and super inconvenient so, basically, every wedding is going to require someone to drive or miss a dinner with a friend or whatever. That's just life.

My experience with a Friday wedding was awesome. We had the party Friday night and had a picnic the next day so that I could see some additional people and then still had Sunday to relax. 99% of guests traveled from out of town and I think they appreciated having the weekend to do a little sightseeing instead of having their whole Saturday killed by wedding stuff.

Yeah, it is fine! Just make it later in the afternoon or evening just in case people are flying in that morning or late the night before.

It's absolutely okay to have a Friday wedding. Especially considering the amount of money you'll save! I had a Friday wedding, it worked out wonderfully, and I wouldn't have done anything different if I had to re-plan my wedding now.

I got married on a Friday and people didn't have a problem with it. We had 250 guests at our wedding, and 150 came to the church. :)

It will, my cousin lives out-of-state & got married on a Friday. It was cheaper for her, but our family couldn't take 2 days off work to go see a Friday wedding.

Of course it is not

Hi Amanda

My name is Blacklist VII, and you've asked the right person to answer this question!
Wedding planning is my expertise.
According to my experience on crashing weddings, any day of the weeks is ok.

You and your husband have to remember it is YOUR WEDDING, you will not be able to accomondate every one of your guests. Do what's best for you both, if the family and friends think you are important, they will do whatever they can to make it.

Congratulations.
