When many couples choose their wedding dates, they think about weather, convenience, or having it coincide with another special occasion (such as the anniversary of their first date.) But before you pay non-refundable deposits, or send out save-the-dates, avoid disaster by making sure your wedding doesn't fall on one of these dates

Religious and Cultural Holidays:
If you're getting married in a house of worship, they probably won't let you get married on an important holiday. But you'll also want to be sensitive to the religious observances of your guests. Even if they are able to attend, they might be fasting, eating a restricted diet, or have other limitations that will prevent them from fully enjoying your wedding.

Miscellaneous Wedding Dates to Avoid:
Daylight savings time -If you're having a Sunday wedding on daylight savings weekend, will your guests remember to change their watches and get to the wedding on time? It is more of a problem in the spring (when the US springs forward) than in the fall (falls back) as its better for guests to be an hour early than an hour late.
Spring Forward Sunday- March 14, 2010
Fall Back-November 7, 2010
Friday the 13th- It is perhaps a silly superstition. But if you care about such things, or just don't want to risk it, avoid having your rehearsal dinner or wedding on Friday the 13th.

April Fool's Day- You don't really need to encourage your guests to play tricks on you, do you? Thursday, April 1, 2010
