All I could really find is the following thread
http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...hlight=wedding
So I popped the question this week and the answer while never really in doubt was of course yes.
I am just looking for some advice who have been through this recently. I was a little slow in the proposal department as it appears as all Saturdays for 2013 are already booked and alot for 2014 are also booked.
We will be having the wedding in Canmore. We have a few dates we have been able to soft book at a few locations for end of August/early September that we will firm up by end of next week. Our guest list right now is between 100-120 with 100 ideal
I am just looking to get some opinons on the following:
1 -
How do you feel about a Friday wedding? From our perspective since most people will be driving 3+ hours anyway then they can take a Friday off and then enjoy the Saturday/Sunday in the mountains.
2 -
How do you feel about a long weekend wedding? The only Saturday date available at our top 3 locations is durring a long weekend. On the face of it I am 100% against long weekend weddings as I feel that I dont want to intrude on someones freebee vacation day.
Guest list questions:
For myself I have a relatively small family by most respects but the numbers when you count aunts, uncles, cousins, their kids, etc etc etc start to add up quick and I am having a difficult time trying to explain to my parents who I respect and realize there is a protocol to these things vis a vi relatives.
3 -
When it comes to first cousins, how do you weed them down to the number you want.
4 -
If a first cousin got married and you werent invited because either A it was rushed due to an "unexpected bun in the oven" or B they are cheap and introverted and only had a justice of the peace marry them with their parents what is your obligation to invite them if you are inviting their siblings who invited you to the wedding?
5 -
I have about 16 guests that I am not sure will come or not and I would rather not wait until 2 months before I know if they will come or not, are "save-the-date" letters acceptable forms of intial weeding out?
6 -
What would you say are the top 10 highest costs for a wedding?
We are meeting 3 different places about venues/catering this weekend and middle of next week.
7 -
What are some of the questions you would ask the reception location/caterer?
I am sure as time goes on I will be asking more questions but for now, this is enough.
Thanks.
And yes, I am sure I want to get married, no I dont think its a horrible mistake, I realize the cheapest wedding is the one you never have blah blah blah.
