| We are up in the air with when to do this wedding. Originally we planned for Sat in June of 2009 but venues are booked. He doesn't want to do a Sunday wedding because people have to work next day and have to leave early. I find it more inconvenient on a Fri. because not many people can take off of work or leave early so you would barely have anyone at the ceremony and people would be tired at reception. My mother doesn't want a Friday my father doesn't care. So with all this stress I'm thinking of moving it to December but I would like some decent gifts and people are shopping like crazy for everybody and their mother and to come to a wedding before Christmas after spending a lot on family is crazy. I'm ready to pull my hair. |

| Whats wrong with early November or late January if your having trouble with the holiday? I for one wouldn't change the quality of a wedding gift based on the wedding timing. |

| Are you seriously worrying about how decent your wedding presents will be?You're coming across as being very shallow. You're marrying the man of your dreams and that's all that matters.Not presents. |

| A wedding is the union of two people in love, not an excuse for you get stuff.If your friends and family are so moved by your marriage that they wish to help you set up your home with a nice gift, then that is lovely. But from the way you sound, I hope that everyone you know gets you nothing for your wedding but coal in your stocking. |

| not everyone's gonna give you a gift right then and there. Some will get you a gift beforehand and others will wait possibly months to send something. So I don't think the time of year has much to do with it really. My guess is that unless EVERYONE on your guest list is on a tight budget, you're gonna get the same as if you had your wedding in June.If you're really concerned (which I don't think you are, because you're not that shallow ARE YOU) do a registry- which everyone's doing now anyway- and that states your preferences for stuff and people tend to like shopping off them because they know it's something you want. Your bridal shower- in my family anyway- there's at least one shower and people go even more overboard on gifts for that because they get opened in front of everyone else and nobody wants to look like a cheapskate so they get the good stuff off the registry. The wedding gifts are usually opened in private.Hey! You're getting married to a great guy (right?)! Isn't that a gift in itself!!LOL I know how you feel- you only do it once in life....hopefully....but don't make it all about the gifts...... |

| If the gifts are that important to you, you should wait until a later date. |

| You might be happier if you skip the wedding, just get married and use the money you saved to buy the presents you want. I hope you can read the snideness I intended. |

| Elope.Surely it doesn't matter the kind of presents you get, so long as you're expressing a love for one another?Call me naive, but surely you'd rather celebrate your happinness with your friends and receive no gifts than be self-centered, petty and overflowing with ugly china that you'll hate and sell at a carboot anyway? |
