Wedding planning HELP!!!

Currently planning our wedding, and had no idea the date would be one of the toughest things to plan!! We don’t have much extra money, so it’s important to us to cut costs where possible while still having the feeling of a “traditional” wedding.

We’ve already decided on an off-peak season wedding just to save money, even though we’re a little disappointed that the weather and scenery won’t be ideal for an outdoor wedding which we dreamed of.

Sunday is the cheapest option! However, we do plan on getting married close to our home which is a couple of states away from our friends and family, so we want to be considerate of people traveling that night or the next day.

Friday is slightly more expensive but still cheaper than the traditional Saturday wedding. As far as I can tell, the only plus side of a Friday wedding is that guests would have 2 days to recover after partying hard and drinking. BUT we won’t be having alcohol at our wedding, so is there really any plus side to doing it on a Friday??

I’m personally leaning towards Sunday just to save money, but I want to be fully considerate of our guests. They’re the only reason we’re having a traditional wedding instead of just going to the courthouse anyway! We know some friends and family want to celebrate us and have that special moment and memory with us.

Just in search of opinions to help us plan better.
