How to choose a date for a happy event?

1, avoid the rush hour.

If you choose the season and time when business is booming, such as the annual wedding season, September,1October, 1 1 month, the demand for good days is in short supply, and the cost of wedding banquets and venues is naturally high. Therefore, when choosing a wedding date, you should first understand the wedding peak and peak day in the city where you want to hold the wedding. Avoiding these rush hours can not only save money, but also ensure the quality of the wedding.

Step 2 avoid the bride's menstrual period

If the wedding day happens to be the bride's menstrual period, it will be a troublesome thing, so we must make the wedding date as far as possible to avoid the bride's menstrual period.

Step 3 avoid parents' birthdays

In traditional numerology, parents' birthdays should not be the same as wedding auspicious days, that is, parents' birthdays should not be married.

4. Avoid the days of Sannianzi and Yang Gongbi

According to legend, Yue Lao didn't give Sanniang a red line, so that she couldn't get married. Based on revenge, San Niang betrayed Yue Lao and ruined the couple's wedding. Therefore, the third, seventh, thirteenth, eighteenth, twenty-second and twenty-seventh days of each month are not suitable for marriage. People say that everything that happened to Yang Gong was because of his ugly words. From then on, people will avoid saying bad things, and once they say them, they will spit out good things. At the same time, the number thirteen is also considered an ominous number.

5. Avoid the Lunar New Year and September.

According to the old tradition, it is best to avoid choosing auspicious days in March, July and September of the lunar calendar, because these three months coincide with Qingming, Yulan and Jinggong respectively, which are traditional ghost festivals and are not suitable for holding happy events. However, these pressures are not absolute. The most important thing is to arrange the wedding date scientifically according to the local wedding customs and the opinions of elders, combined with the actual situation.

6. Registration date and marriage ceremony

If you decide to separate the registration date from the wedding date, you'd better do it on both days. If you want to choose, you should choose an auspicious day based on the traditional wedding banquet and wine setting etiquette, because China tradition has always regarded this day as a real wedding day.
