I don’t see them as any different from a wedding held any other month. Why would they be? If you want a Christmas theme then go for it. Make sure to send out save the dates 6 months in advance so folks can prepare. That said, all the weddings I have attended in December have huge turnouts and been gorgeous and a ton of fun. Don’t let anyone talk you out of it if that is what you and your fiance want.

If I was local (or not too far away) it would not bother me in the least to go to a December wedding. As a matter of fact, I have gone to two December weddings and loved both of them!

If this is what you want (when you do get engaged), then you should definitely go with it!

I’m not thrilled when anyone plans things for that time of year. It is so hectic and costly and my budget is usually tight.
BUT it is your wedding and when you are getting married you are expecting it to happen that 1 time. So if a relative of mine planned their wedding in December, the timing could be better IMO, but if they love it and planned it then, I would do everything I could to be there.

You need to plan your wedding around YOU, not others or your guests — unless they are someone you wouldn’t want to miss your wedding.

I got married in Dec and see nothing wrong with it at all, family is usually around for the holidays so there’s no extra cost for them to travel just for a wedding. I had mine closer to x-mas just for that reason. Now everyone is here for our anniversary and x-mas. It’s just great.

Yup ! i also totally agree with Amber , marriage in december will be a awesome idea, and you also can celebrate your honeymoon on New Year..

im getting married in december ***** what everyone says if you want to get married in december its your wedding not there’s get married when you want dont let anyone tell u different

I live in PA and I love the fall/winter seasons. I no my wife would never have agreed to a winter wedding but I would have loved it. If you do it, consider the first weekend and go with a red and white theme. My wedding was all red and white and all the colors and flowers looked awesome in the photos. I wouldn’t have a Christmas them necessarily but you could pull off having the seasonal colors without taking away from the wedding. One other really good point would be discounts on the hall and catering that time of year. You should get a really good break on the price since its not “in season”. That might be enough to sway your fiance.

It’s your wedding! Earlier in December allows people to enjoy your wedding and still enjoy their holiday. There is no perfect time for everyone else. My cousin had a beautiful winter wedding with ornaments as table decorations. The place sparkled! Have fun, its your day!

Weddings are expensive for guests as well. They have to buy things to wear, a gift for you, travel expenses, etc. All of that going on during the Christmas season just might be too much for some peoples’ budgets. Many people are already traveling around that time as well, so they may be unable to attend. Airfare is also higher because of the holidays… Just things to think about.

(Your family might live close, but what about your future spouse’s?)

too close to christmas.
