New Years Eve wedding?

[ColourfulOnesie]

Would you go if invited to a wedding on New Years eve?
Or is it too soon after Xmas for an event?

Only if children were allowed to come. I've declined wedding invitations between Christmas and new year before due to difficulties getting childcare. I imagine NYE would be worse

I think it's a great time, but you need to carefully consider accommodation costs or transport options for the guests.

Yes, absolutely yes.
Very romantic
Friend married 28th December and everyone came. Sil Married 3rd December.
Like pp have said it makes new year that bit more special and exciting.

(Didn't Edith from Downton Abbey get married one Christmas Eve?)

New Year Eve I mean!!!!

No I wouldn't attend. NYE is a special night already, why do you need to make it all about you? So irritating.

Yes I'd love that. Can I come??? I won't eat much

@Notaneffingcockerspaniel ah that made my day thank you so much 😊

@HollyBollyBooBoo sorry you find it all so offensive 😟

@Purplehonesty2 ’I won’t eat much’ really made me laugh 😂

I’d love to get married on NYE, and have discussed it with my fella. It would be a second marriage for us both, and we’re in our 40’s/50’s so most of (if not all) our friends don’t have small children to consider. We all moan every year there’s nothing decent to do! I agree, travel would have to be considered though. But I’d still say go for it!

This was what I was planning to do! We’re now doing a bit of a last minute wedding this summer but I always said new year was a great time because everyone’s looking for somewhere to go that night anyway and it guaranteed people would stay late. I’m not one for being the centre of attention so also felt it took the pressure off me a tiny bit that it was another event that night too 🙈

We've been to a NYE wedding before. It was on the other side of the country so it was lovely to have some time away after Christmas

Definitely

Family only

Just have a think about what it’ll do to your Xmas and the Xmas of those helping you to prepare for a wedding…not just x,as day, but in run up to Xmas there’s always so much to do.
I don’t have a dd , but if I did I’d say fine…but I’m not helping you with anything in December. At all. Too much other stuff to do as it is

I went to a cousins NYE wedding several years ago. Apparently her parents were married NYE so a 'tradition' for them

My now DH and I were mid 20's at the time and I thought it was a bonkers idea and far more expensive for us and the wedding couple.

If your guests are ALL local, then presumably no one is paying NYE charges for hotels, private parking, trying to book hair/beauty on NYE or would have travel issues getting home on new years day- lack of public transport etc?

For yourself, surely you are paying more for your hotel, reception, photographer etc etc?

What time does your reception finish? If it clicks past midnight, surely you are paying a premium rate for bank holiday rates for all staff/venue etc?

It wouldn't bother me that its 'close' to Christmas at all. In my 20's, I wanted to go out clubbing/to a bar NYE rather than a wedding, but in my 40's now, it wouldn't bother me- but we don't have children. My main concern in my 20's was the cost. For us, we had to pay for flight, hotel, taxis, and find somewhere new years day for food which was tricky- all of which was at elevated costs.

4 Those who do nothing because all of their friends do number 3.
I hate new year because we never do anything, and I would love to do something (DH never wants to do anything at new year)

So I would love to be invited to a NYE wedding.

I would struggle as I love NYE and always go to a house party which I would be sad about missing.
