Lucky for Some: Reasons to Consider a Friday 13th Wedding

Lucky for Some: Reasons to Consider a Friday 13th Wedding

For generations, superstitions have surrounded weddings. From not seeing the bride beforehand to wearing white – there has always been a wedding rule to follow. If you’re anything like us, you may enjoy the challenge of facing these superstitions head on – and if so, there are plenty of benefits! Here are some great reasons to consider a Friday 13th Wedding.

You Can Have Fun With The Wedding Theme

If you’re not too superstitious, this date is a great excuse to go all out with your theme. Black cats, umbrellas, seeing each other before the ceremony (if you don’t mind not keeping the surprise!) are all fun ideas. Or, if you would prefer to balance tempting fate with some good luck– why not incorporate the classic traditions? The Child of Prague, wearing white, something old and a horse shoe are just a few fun ways to ward off bad vibes!

No One Will Forget to RSVP!

Your guests are sure to remember this date and it will be a hot topic for everyone on the day (for those who dare to go of course!). The same will go for booking any suppliers or wedding venues – more than likely (since it is quite an unusual date), they will already know off the top of their head about availability.

Anniversaries are Extra Special

The 13th will come around every year for sure, but Friday 13th falling on your anniversary date will be extra special for sure. Since it’s not every year this will happen, when it does – it will be a great excuse to go all out with a themed party, dinner or weekend away.
