Do we need to have an Engagement Party??
We have been engaged for over a year now and everyone that we would invite to the engagement party already know we are engaged, so is there any point in holding one??
High Church
If you're not looking to do an engagement party, there is no rule book that says you absolutely have to! If you think of wedding showers, hens/bucks nights, dress fittings, cake tasting etc - they are parties within themselves! You could use them as chances to celebrate. There's no need to place a strain on your wedding budget if you don't want to. We find the planning of the wedding is a celebration.
In saying that, if you have a little left over cash in your budget and decided you do want to throw something, remember that you aren't obliged to invite your entire guest list. It's always nice to have a small get together for under 25 people at home or even a restaurant (Brisbane folk, Delfina's Bistro is great - hint hint) and make it an intimate and small celebration for your friends and family.
How bad are Sunday night weddings?
I'm planning a Sunday night wedding, but am concerned about guests who may need to work the next day. How are Sunday night weddings usually run? Unfortunately a brunch/lunch wedding doesn't really work for our venue.
High Church
There's no such thing as a bad wedding! In saying that, 'Sunday Sessions' is a popular trend in the hospitality industry. Starting around lunch or the late afternoon, it gives your guests the oppurtunity to enjoy themselves but also having the back up of being able to be home at a reasonable hour for work the next day (If they couldn't get the day off)
Costs wise: It's cheaper venue wise to hold it on this day. On the other hand, the hospitality award wage can sting you as the venue/staffing agency will have to pass on the higher rate per staff member.
Sunday is a relaxed, intimate vibe for a wedding. It's all about how you want it to feel for your guests!

Weekday weddings are the perfect way to cut costs and keep it VIP. If you are looking for an intimate wedding, we find that the important ones will prioritise it with their day to day schedule ensuring that you are surrounded by your favourite people. It also is obviously substantially cheaper to book a venue/catering services during the week. As well as that, it gives you quite a bit of wiggle room with your date. With our crazy period starting Friday through to Sunday, it gives you a wider variety of mid week dates to chose from.
