Congratulations!
Go ahead and have it. The holiday weekend may very well annoy some people that it interrupts their plans or because it may cost more money to fly that weekend, but at the end of the day if they want to be there, they will. And for some people, they may appreciate not having to take an extra day off of work to go to an OOT wedding.
I say go ahead and keep your special acknowledgement of your grandparents a secret. Maybe find out their wedding song and play that so they can dance to it after your first dance?
@lefeymw: Any really, the only OOT guests i will have that I can think of are family, and they won't care about it being labor day weekend.
And I love the idea of their first song!

Hello! I just got engaged yesterday!!! I have been with my FH for 5 years, and we've been talking about marriage from about day one, lol, so I've already done some planning (or so I thought. I'm realizing I have a LONG way to go).
We want to get married next fall. I just realized that my grandparents 60th anniversary is September 6th, and I think it would be so sweet if we had our wedding around then and did a few special things to honor them. I'm a little disappointed that the 6th is a Thursday, however it can still be special even if we don't get married on the exact date.
My questions are, what do you all think about having the wedding Sept. 2nd, Labor day weekend, 4 days before their anniversary? I would like to think that no one who mattered would miss our wedding for a weekend at the lake, and it would give my out of town family extra travel time! Also, a lot of our friends are still in school and will probably never graduate :) so it would be easier on them as well.
Second question: do I tell my grandparents our plan to honor them at the wedding? Or should it be a surprise? We would have to tell them if it was actually ON their anniversary, but since it's not would it be better to surprise them with a special toast/cake etc?
