I wanted to be a Halloween bride, but the venue we wanted was booked for that day, so I'm a November 1 bride with an elegant Halloween theme :)

I'm a Halloween Bride. I didn't want to do it, but it was the only date at my venue. Nothing from August until Sat. after Thanksgiving except for Halloween. I'm getting used to it. Getting a little tired of the costume comments. I'm worried about attendance a bit.
I really wanted 10/10/09 or 10/31/09 to no avail. Halloween is one of my favourite holidays!
yeah Halloween is my absolutely favorite holiday! i just don't know that i want it to also be my wedding day. i'm opposed to a theme. and yes, everyone's first comment is, are you having a theme/or can i wear a costume. arrggggg!!!
but maybe it's special/magical and i should look at it that way. just heard and both my venue and photographer are available on October 17 now. Should i make the change? i had just gotten used to the Halloween idea. i'm worried about the few people that do have kids being miffed about their kids missing trick or treating/halloween related decor/gifts? any other thoughts positive or negative?
thanks ladies. my first post and i could get used to this sense of community!
If it were me I'd jump to 10/17. Better for anniversaries with kids. You might have more fall leaves still around depending on where you marry. I'm worried that I'll miss the leaves with my 10/31 date.

Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday. We aren't doing costumes or anything, but definitely having Halloween decor at the wedding. I think it's a really fun idea and I've only heard good things about it from friends and relatives. I can't think of a better day for me to get married on. I got engaged on Halloween too!
I think if you're uncomfortable with Halloween (which it seems you are) and your plans wouldn't be terribly thrown off by changing your date, you should change to the 17th.
I personally really really wanted a Halloween wedding. I still sometimes wish I'd done it!
Are there any negatives to using the 17th instead?
smileyface, if you're uncomfortable with it, maybe it's better to switch? But how often does Halloween fall on a Saturday to be able to do the Saturday/Halloween wedding?! I looked at it as a sign for FI and I to go for it. If it's your favorite holiday and holds meaning for you then I say keep the date! Otherwise, if not much will be greatly affected by switching to 10/17, then switch! It's your big day, you should do what makes you happiest.

I am a Halloween bride. Our favorite movie is THE CROW, and it has always been understood we would get married on Halloween.
He proposed on Friday the 13th =)
I am thinking about being a Halloween Bride! I love the holiday. I think you could do that. Like the others said, if you are truly uncomfortable with it, go ahead and change it!!
OK thinking turned totally into doing it!! We love Halloween and its the best day to have the type of wedding we dreamed of. Plus in the Wiccan trasdition its the wiccan new year, time for new begginnings and love.
I'm a proud Halloween bride! We love Halloween and dress up every year, so we're having a costume party wedding. Halloween is actually the anniversary of our first kiss as well, so it's meaningful as well as fun--completely us!
Im a halloween bride too!!
We didnt pick it on purpose but like some of you, this was one of the last Saturdays in Oct available (the other Saturday for our venue was the day after Christmas!! umm no!!!)
I think its cute that he will *never* forget out anniversary!
And i dont mind going trick-or-treating on our future anniversaries, kids pending! lol
We are not requesting costumes, but I have a feeling that our families and friends will not hold back... lol
anyone doing a costume theme?
No costume theme for us. That's one of the only ways my parents would let us go for the Halloween date! We still want to have a mainly traditional wedding, just on a special day for us. We're definitely doing a Halloween-themed reception, just no costumes.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I didn't plan to use this day, but I wanted to be an October bride and with other conflicts, this was the only day available. Since then, the 17th has opend up at my venue of choice... Hmmm. We were going to send our Save the Dates to the printer today. And i think I've started getting attached to Oct 31 as my wedding date, but I'm already tired of people asking if we are doing a Halloween theme. (the answer is an emphatic No).
Most of the guests are in our early thirties without kids and everyone seems cool giving up there halloween to celebrate with us. Just wanted to know any experiences/thoughts with these two dates out there?
