Maybe it’s superstition or simply a fad, but bridal couples are determined to scoop up wedding dates where the numbers seem to add up to something very special.

Although dates like 7/7/07, 8/8/08 and 10/10/10 are bygones, couples aren’t deterred from looking to the future for that special day to call their own. Some upcoming dates that are undoubtedly going to be busy for professionals in the wedding industry are 12/11/10 and 9/10/11.


Some wedding dates are chosen without really taking others into consideration. Sure, it’s your day, and it can be whenever you want it, but take a look at these dates to avoid and a brief explanation of why.


Religious & Cultural Holidays – (e.g., Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa). Consider your guests who often have pre-set plans for these holidays, making it a hassle for them to attend your wedding.


Major Sporting Events – (e.g., Super Bowl, World Series, World Cup, Final Four, Olympics). Sports fans, as a general rule, are die-hards. To avoid disgruntled people overall, avoid major sporting events.


Miscellaneous Days – (e.g., Daylight Savings Time, Friday the 13th, April Fool’s Day). Weddings planned on or around these days are pretty much asking for mayhem. Expect late (or early) guests, the superstition factor, and suffering at the hands of pranksters throughout your wedding celebration.


Regardless of the date you choose for your wedding, it is a very good idea to send save-the-dates well in advance to help those invited plan to attend.

With guests often scattered across the country and everyone’s busy schedules to consider, save-the-date cards are a great way to give advance notice of your special day.


Save-the-date cards should definitely be sent when family and friends will have to travel to your wedding location, or if your special day lands on or around a holiday. They allow your guests ample opportunity to request time off from work, arrange for babysitters, and if needed, arrange for a hotel and/or travel.


Save-the-date cards should be sent six to nine months before the wedding; it may be a good idea to mail them even earlier if your wedding is held at a popular destination. Save-the-date cards come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, and can be as simple, trendy, or unique as you would like. Just make sure that everyone who receives a save-the-date card also receives a wedding invitation.

When asking brides what type of wedding they want, many say they want an “elegant wedding”. There are many ways to incorporate elegance into your special event.

Consider the wedding attire…especially your own! Attire is a key component to setting the tone for your wedding. Choose classically elegant styles and colors for the bridesmaid dresses accented with a beautiful updo and an elegant necklace and/or earrings.

Simplicity is key. When in doubt – scale back. A beautiful wedding favor box will look quite remarkable with a simple personalized ribbon accent matching your wedding colors. The favor will double as a gift and reception decor!

Remember the details. Stylish accents and embellishments. A beautiful reception hall with decor so beautiful – you don’t need to add extra decoration! Shimmer menu cards and decorative tea light candles can be the simple touches that accent your elegant event.
