Independence Day = "Wedding Blackout" Day

 Having trouble deciding on a date?  I can't tell you which days are good, but TheKnot does give advice on which days you should avoid:

-Major Holidays (MLK, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving)

Why?  "Holiday weekend wedding have pros and cons. You've got an extra day for the festivities (and recovery!), plus it's easier to host the affair on Sunday, which is often less expensive than Saturday events. However, costs of travel and hotels may be higher. Also, having your wedding on a holiday weekend might adversely affect your guest list. Some families have standing holiday weekend plans or traditions that they'd prefer not to have disrupted."

-Religious Holidays (Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa)

Why?  "Be mindful of religious holidays (yours and your guests') when planning your wedding. There may even be restrictions at your house of worship as to whether you're allowed to marry at these times."

There are other notable holidays as well, such as Valentine's Day (costly!), Mother/Father's Day, Halloween, etc.
