13 answersHaving a wedding on a weekday
We are having a Jewish wedding and as such are very limited to the days that we can hold the ceremony. I really don't like having it on a Sunday night so was planning to do it on the day before Australia Day so that everyone has the next day off. However, as the wedding will take place on a workday, how early is too eary to ask people to attend? P.S. sorry the category is so arbitrary. Had to just choose the least unrelated ??
