Every year since my days of planning sorority functions I come across the same situation... keeping the guys interested in the event (and away from the hotel bar) 0n game day. I understand that not all brides are aware of sporting event schedules... believe me, I'm usually more interested in what cute outfit I found to match the colors than the actual game... but there are a few things to consider when planning your Autumn wedding.
1.) Did you and/or your fiance attend a big football school? Chances are if you're UF, Aburn, LSU, Alabama, or UGA Alum you're going to have to check the football schedule in advance, plain and simple. These big football schools have big football fans and those fans are most likely your guests! FYI- game days are top priority in the South and some might even find it offensive to plan a wedding on FL/GA weekend
2.) Are your friends and family members NFL fanatics? Plan accordingly! Even though most games aren't until 1pm on Sunday if their traveling from out of town it may become an issue.
3.) If you can't beat them, join them! Set up a flat screen tv near the center of the action at your reception. It may seem crazy but it beats half of your guests on their phones the whole time getting score updates!
Again, these are just some tips to consider and please note that these are situations I have come across as I live in the Southeast. All the Canadian brides out there can adjust to content to hockey season :)
