based, is a bad idea in terms of travelling, whereas on a weekend this is likely to be a more feasible option.
No
This is a tentative question which is often very dependent on who exactly is on your guest list, for example, if you have family spread around the country. In this respect, friends and family who live far away may like to make a bit of a ‘weekend of it’, if you chose to wed on a Saturday or Sunday. They might like to car pool with other guests or arrange their own accommodation the night before, to save travelling on the big day itself. This is one of the key factors you ought to consider when deciding whether to opt for a weekday wedding or not.
Not everyone on your guest list will be lucky enough to work in a job with paid holidays. If this is the case then they will be quite literally losing out on a day’s
wage to attend your nuptials. Again, this is a very personal one, and depends entirely on who’s on the guest list. You know your guests the best, so determine if there might be anyone this applies to, and if so you could invite them to the evening reception instead.
Don’t forget, not everyone has weekends off, and if you know that a lot of your guests work in an industry where this is the case (hospitality or retail, for example) then taking a Saturday or Sunday off work will in effect be the same as hosting a mid-week wedding. But remember, your wedding day should be about you as a couple, not trying to please each and every one of your guests, so whether you decide to wed mid-week or on a weekend, make sure it’s the right choice for you.
