Deciding on a Date

Discuss how long you want your engagement to be in terms of months or years. If you want to get married in a year or less, the factors that contribute to deciding your date will be slightly different from an engagement of one year or longer. Once you decide on a definitive year to get married, you can narrow down your options for date and time.

Talk with your fiance about key factors in deciding your wedding date. These could include seasons and sporting events. Getting married in the spring or summer will cost more money than getting married in the fall or winter. If either of you or any of your guests are sports enthusiasts, it would be foolish to plan your special day on the same date as the Super Bowl. Decide on a season you would like to wed in.

Write down a list of key dates that seem logical for you and your fiance to choose from. This could include the anniversary of the day you met, the anniversary of your first date, or the anniversary of the day you started your relationship. Compare this list to the season you decided on and see if any of the dates coincide. If they do, choose that date for your wedding.

Decide on a day of the week you would like to wed on if you are not using an anniversary. Weddings that take place during the week cost less than weddings on the weekends. Using the season you decided on together, pick a month in which you would like to be married. Then choose a week and pick your definitive wedding date.
