Tips for Scheduling a Wedding Date

Chick flick, Bride Wars, starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway opened last month. Hathaway and Hudson play best friends who are feuding because they have planned their weddings on the same date. Per Eloise Parker for the Daily News, selecting a wedding date "can be just as cut-throat" as depicted in the movie. After all there are only so many Saturdays in June and October, prime wedding planning months. Parker's article shares some tips for scheduling a wedding date:

- Remember that the hot venues are scheduled at least a year in advance. Start event planning early.
- Saturdays in June and October are big wedding days. Be flexible.
- Unique dates are typically the first to go. Example 09.09.09, Valentine's Day, July 4th and Halloween all fall on Saturdays in 2009.
- Friday nights and Sundays are cheaper than Saturdays.
- January is the best month for savings.
- Consider a waiting list if a prime venue is not available and you are flexible.
- If your heart is set on a specific date, consider flexibility with time of day.

Once you set your wedding date, The Calendar Planner is one inexpensive way to keep you on task as you move towards the big date.
