Weddingbee boards

I voted for yes, if they were close friend or family.  But I feel like I might try to go even if they weren't.  I take a wedding invitation very seriously, I never like to let people down.  So I always try to go to the weddings that I'm invited to.  I'd probably complain about it beforehand (to people who are uninvolved) then just suck it up and go.  If its in the same town, it really wouldn't be a big deal.  If it were in a different town/state, I'd just have to take some time off of work, which isn't hard for me to do.  But if someone has a weeknight wedding, they have to be prepared to get a lot more declines than usual.

Friday, in general, yes I'll go. If its a mid-week holiday (i.e. New Years) I'll go. But a Tuesday wedding? Not happening.

If they were a close family member or a friend who was local I would. Other than that I would probably have to decline.

Similar thread is going on here. 

Here is my response to the other thread:

Assuming you are ok with having a family reception and loosing a few guests, I still think you need to be prepared that it will not be your typical wedding timeline.  An mid week wedding like that does not allow for the same amount of time a weekend wedding does.  Typically you have all day to get ready, the ceremony late afternoon and a 5 or so hour reception afterwards.  If you aren't starting until 7 pm thats really late.  That puts your ceremony and reception between 7 and 10 pm give or take a bit. 

I would say the latest I would be willing to stay out would be 10 or 11.  If it was really close to home maybe a bit later. 

So if you are ok with only having a 3-4 hour reception and not having as many guests then go for it. 

In my opinion, I would want to make sure everyone I want there has every opportunitity to attend and I want as much time as I can with guests to celebrate.
