I love Valentines Day, hey it’s my birthday too, so to me it’s extra special. So many people will get engaged tonight. Balloons, candy, roses and diamond rings just seem to go together. But let me tell you what doesn’t go with Valentines Day….your wedding day. While it may seem like the perfect romantic day to get married, it’s not.
Why you ask? Well first there is finding a venue that is available. Most venues are booked a year in advance for valentine parties, every singles group in America is having a party tonight. Along with that goes all the DJ’s and bands, they are all booked for all those singles parties. On top of that is the fact that vendors, being the human beings that they are, have spouses and families that would like to see them on holidays, especially Valentines Day, so if a vendor is available you can bet the farm you are paying a premium for his services.
And now the biggie, flowers for your valentine wedding are going to be outrageous. This is the most expensive time of the year for flowers. The cost of roses skyrocket, along with most every other flower available and florists are worked to death. I don’t think you want a tired, cranky florist with overpriced or unavailable flowers doing your arrangements.
Same is true for bakers and caterers. All those valentine goodies, at all those valentine parties, have to come from somewhere. Don’t pick this time to compete.
Let me clue you, guests are not going to be happy having to give up their valentine plans to work around your wedding. Plan to have a lot of no’s on your RSVP’s (of course this could be a good thing, since your budget is going to be so tight from everything else).
So moral of the story, get that diamond on Valentines Day, but choose another date for your wedding day.
