Yes, I would.
I think if i was given enough notice and could organise annual leave, flights etc then yes i would attend... it would also depend how close i am to the person i guess and where the wedding will be.
NO different to someone having a friday wedding really... except the possibility of arrivinbg to work with a hang over on a tuesday :p
I would go to a wedding on any day of the week.
Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday best of all,
Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses, Saturday for no luck at all
We were married on a Saturday .....bugger!
I'm tired of going to weddings that are just a "look at me, look at me" event and not about the love and commitment that two people have for each other.... I say go for it! What better day to married than on your anniversary.
Yep and bonus for you wedding venues on weekdays are cheaper and easier to book
Thanks everyone. :) Appreciate it lots.
ZF; flights? Lol, you know where we'll be! ;)
Cass; Monday for health, huh? Cool, I'll take that! And this wedding certainly will be far from a "look at me" swarai (sp)! More a casual bbq-do.
Jellybean; no wedding venue to be used! Can't stand the thought, especially after working at three different venues! That, and it's just not us. But a good thought. :)
Sounds like a lovely relaxed wedding congratulations
I got married on a Monday, honeymooned until the Sunday and back at work the following Monday :) A few guests couldn't come but more because of the distance to the wedding than the weekday. The only person for whom it was an issue was my mum who is a lecturer but she was able to arrange cover as I gave her 6 months notice so it was fine. everyone else just took a day or two holiday.
we got married on a Tuesday. was very small though, only immediate family and my best friend and DH best friend. but everyone we invited to the ceremony came, my brother even got a plan into town that arrived an hour before the ceremony and took one back 8 hours later so he didn't miss class.
we had our reception on Sat, and had only about 50% of people turn up.
I don't think the day matters, I think if you mean enough to them, they will want to be there and make it happen.
ps Cass72 ~ if only that was true!!
TT40; likewise for numbers, we might have a dozen people there.
The backyard affair is awesome - that's what we did. We only had about 30 people to our wedding and it was on a Saturday. Just close family and close friends.
As an aside....DH's niece is getting married on a Thursday but it is being held at Kings Park (Perth) at 11am and then the recpetion at Roleystone at 6pm. We won't be going as to cut costs they aren't inviting all partners and definitely no children - not even to the ceremony (which is outside in a park wtf???). Even her future BIL's partner (who he's been living with in a defacto relationship for a few years - they have a toddler) is not invited. People are too weird....
Lol... Crop duster drop offs! :p
You might have had people coming interstate to Melbs :p
I would go whatever day - not as if you don't get a bit of warning with a wedding.
Cass72 - wt???? Why on earth would you go from KP up into the hills? Like there are no beautiful parks in Roleystone?? Some of the thiongs people do with venues are very odd IMO
Cass; wtf is it with their invite principle? Geez!
ZF; I wonder if I could get a 'crop dusting' of confetti over the park. :rofl:
Yep I would. I don't care what day of the week the wedding is I love coming to help celebrate and share your day.
I've been to weddings on Sat, Sun, Wed & Fri so far :)

I would go to a wedding any day too. I wanted mine on a Friday. But my mum had a big whinge because some of her sisters might of had to take a day off work. My opinion was that if they couldn't take a day off work then yay for me, saves a meal cost lol! But unfortunately DH agreed with her (first for everything) and we had it Saturday. As it turned out the one aunt I really wanted there couldn't come but others that I barely know but "had to" invite did come. I truly truly wish that I had stuck to my guns and had my lovely Friday January wedding that I wanted. A Saturday May wedding was lovely. I had a great day. But I am disappointed that it wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I say if you want it on a Monday. Have it on a Monday. Anyone important enough will make an effort to be there.
Yay Liviam and Rowellen. Rowellen, what a poo of a thing!
Lol, i sent a text to the Man, asking of he had any plans for x date, it's a monday. He said no, what you got in mind? Lol. He's looking forward to the Monday too! :)
And I know our important people will be there!

How dare they! Weddings are expensive, and unfortunately these days it's not financially possible to invite all people. It's quite the norm these days.
i guess "selective" invites, IMO, wouldn't extend to long term defacto relationships... Especially when it's the grooms brother we're talking about. the grooms sister in law and his nephew being excluded just feels all sorts of wrong... i'd rather have an intimate do with long term couples and people i'm close to, than to alienate everyone by banning their partner and kids from the local park.... I totally get the "no kids at the reception cos it's gonna cost us x amount", but a local park? Just my opinion...:
As to the Monday wedding, yes, i'd go to a wedding on a Monday. I wouldn't much care when it was - my considerations come down more to travel and accommodation than date
(unless it's at a time when work is crazy busy and i have no hope in hell of getting time off - so notice comes into it too)
With notice, I would consider it. Would try to attend.
Actually, DH and I would take holiday and attend if we could. Would usually have to be close family if it were a school day (due to leave for me), but in the school holidays it would be fine.
I had a Saturday wedding, but that was due to people travelling and stuff. Plus I did want the big "look at me" soirée after the wedding.
Yep definitely given enough notice. These days for alot of people, a Monday would be easier to take off than a Saturday. It's seven day trading for most places with weekends being their busiest and Monday generally quiet.
Like some others have said, so long as I was given enough notice to organise it with work, I'd be there (and if I wasn't.....oooops work - I'm sick today!)!
Well all good so far then :)
I have started jotting down a heap of notes and ideas, and a long list of things I need to work out. Oh. My. Goodness. :o
Yes I would. If the people getting married thought I was important enough to be invited to their wedding then I would attend any day it was on (given that I could arrange it).
Aso a great idea for a day off work! :D
so exciting isn't it!!! =D:
We were married on a Sunday... What the hell does that mean!?!?!:
Mayby Sunday is miscellaneous anything can happen
TT40; Very exciting, although am thinking that should have been planning this seriously since, like, ages ago! Only because it's at the end of February. Swear swaer swear. And, it is a week after I'm planning on DD's sixth birthday party. That will also be difficult, as I've never thrown a birthday party before! :hide:
