Choosing a Friday night over a Saturday for wedding reception.
I already set the date, and everything is already booked, however, his side of the family keeps asking me to change it to a saturday so they don't have to take thursday and friday off. Everyone in the bridal party are college students, but, most of them don't care, they'll still come. About half the people he has for the party don't care either. But there are still those people who want me to change. They also don't realize having it on a friday I can save about $2,000 if not more. I don't know what to do.

If the inlaws are unhappy about the day you chose perhaps your fiance could suggest that they foot the bill for the additional charge. Letting them know the reason why the two of you chose a Friday is imperative. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

i talked more about it with my finace, his parents aren't going to pay that extra $2000 for having it on a saturday. Now they also want me to move it closer to their location. Right now i live upstate, but i'm from Green Bay WI area, grew up there, most of my family is there, which is bigger than his by at least 50 people. So i'm having the wedding in Green Bay, but all of his family wants me to at least move it up to a little bit closer town. His side of the family is causeing more of a headache than anything. So at the moment i'm looking for cheeper places to go for a saturday. i want this wedding, but the closer i get to it, the more headache it's becoming and it's still a year away. I have a felling it's going to be a constent battle with his family until the day after the wedding. I'm this close to just forgetting the whole thing. and just him and me go get married by a judge or paster, and taking the money my mom said she would pay for the wedding and going on a really nice honeymone. However, my mom would have then lost $1000 for the deposit for the one place already booked. and another $600 for my dress that i'm never going to wear. and i feel bad about that. Like i said i really want the wedding, but if his family is going to keep up llike this, and i'm almost 100% sure they will, then i don't know if it's worth it. Anyone have any advice for me???
