Is it rude to have my wedding on Father's Day?

Question

My fiancee's brother and cousin will both be new fathers in a few months...is it rude to have our wedding on father's day?

the wedding wouldn't be until 4:00 in the evening

Answer 1

I don't think it's the best idea ever had. People shouldn't have to choose between your wedding and father's day. Remember, you are inviting *guests* and you should do everything in your power to make it easier for them to come.

Answer 2

I don't know if it's rude but it does seem to lack some class. That is a day set aside for fathers or people that have taken on the role of a father so it wouldn't exactly be nice to set up a wedding for the same day. Your wedding is your special day so pick a date when it is not on someone else's (an entire group of someones at that) special day. That is just my opinion though so good luck on whatever you decide.

Answer 3

I wouldn't say rude, but weddings and ANY holiday just don't match. Most of your guests will want to spend the day with their families, and maybe even visit multiple family members, so they might not be able to go to the wedding even if it is in the afternoon. By setting the date on father's day you are making people choose whether to be with their fathers or to go to your wedding. So i suggest you check if you can get another date, maybe the weekend after or before.
Good Luck

Answer 4

Not rude but not very smart.

Think about it people want to be with their Fathers on Fathers Day not going to someone's wedding....you might not have any many guests as you would like.

Make it the week before or the week after.

Answer 5

My cousin got married the day before fathers' day and her father drove her and her husband to the airport on fathers' day off to her honeymoon. They have been married for over 5 years now and their second child is under 2 months. Her father was very happy to be able to walk her down the aisle on that day and see how his beautiful girl had grown up but that he could still be there for her. He was pleased with the dates, and I don't see anything wrong with it. As long as you give enough notice that's the date you and your fiance chose.

Answer 6

Depends, was the date picked before they knew they would be fathers? If so, I wouldnt think anyone would expect you to pick a different day. A nice touch at your wedding or reception, would be to acknowledge them in some special way, this takes nothing away from you as the Bride, makes them feel special on a special day for them, and you come off showing alot of class.

Answer 7

Why dont you have a special tribute to fathers included in your wedding so that way you can honor them on fathers day!

Answer 8

Father's Day changes every year. Your first anniversary won't even be on Father's Day. It is only a couple hours out of a day for the wedding, and you can combine it with a fathers day celebration if you wish.....have a separate cake for the fathers only if you wish. Have their families bring gifts for the fathers and let them open them there. Have a picnic dinner with family members joining dad.

Answer 9

I think it is VERY rude to have a wedding on a holiday.
There are SOOO many days on the calendar, why inconvenience people on a holiday?
Plan for lower attendance when it comes to a holiday affair.

Answer 10

you cant pick the day before ? at least it will make things easier for your husband to remember, but still you are taking a special day for someone else for yourself, especially new fathers. this means alot to dads.
