First Things First

First things first when planning a wedding.  Set the date.  Many factors must be taken into account when setting the big day.  

1)  Family work schedules
2)  School dates for siblings, maybe even for the bride and groom
3)  Travel availability for out of town guests
4)  Site availability - Note - Fridays and Sundays are often a less expensive option for wedding sites
5)  Weather - My daughter scheduled her wedding on a Friday in June as her preferred Saturday was not available.  This put her wedding plans at potential risk.  As we live in New England, and if we had a bad winter, her sisters' last day of school would be moved back.  Her sisters could possibly be taking finals on her wedding day.  Will keep you updated on that…but it's not looking good.  Lots of snow this winter.  
6)  Season - Is your reception site set up to handle an all indoor event if weather is inclement?
7)  Church availability 
8)  Do you need a long engagement to save up for the wedding?

Tomorrow, step two, church/reception site.
