Forbes.com published a good article this morning about handling co-workers when planning your wedding.  I’m sure many of you have to decide which co-workers to invite and how to handle those that are not invited to your wedding.  Everyone’s work environment is different, but juggling friendships and budgets can be a tough line to walk.  This article offers some advice such as make sure you don’t divulge to everyone all the details of your wedding as this can lead to mixed messages.  Several other tips are discussed and if you’re working on your guest list now, read on.

While browsing the WeddingWire community pages, I noticed a few questions and discussions related to picking a wedding date.  Something that seems straight forward, but couples are still looking for best practices to picking a date.  Examining responses from both wedding professionals and other couples planning their weddings, there seems to be commalities in items to consider when choosing your date such as:

• Budget: Fridays and Sundays tend to be less expensive
• Guests: Are most of your guest traveling or local residents?  I personally have mixed feelings about weddings on long weekends b/c you’re asking guests to travel on their hard earned vacation days, but at the same time, a Sunday wedding on a three day weekend might make things easier.
• Weather & Location: Seasons are different given your location and this especially matters if you’re planning an outdoor wedding.  The Weather Channel offers a simple tool that shows average high and low temperatures for your city as well as the wettest and driest months of the year.

At the end of the day however, it’s your choice as it’s your special day.  Just make sure you’re happy with the choice, you’ll have to remember this day for a long time.
