Yes, I got so lucky that two different couples that don't know each other decided to do weddings in Tuscany. That's incredible. Ten days apart. So yeah, I'm going to stay there the whole time. It's going to be great. One of them is one of my best friends from college, and she and her fiance knew that her wedding would be mostly like a friend's wedding.

Some of my favorite memories with her and my college friends is traveling together. So this couple chose Italy because we all get to stay together on the same property. Nice. A castle in the countryside. And the cost of her four-day, three-night wedding in Italy was going to cost the same as if she'd had a nicer end wedding in the U.S. Yeah, I've heard that. I thought it was really sweet.

So Sally, for airfare, NerdWallet recommends booking domestic travel one to three months in advance and international travel two to eight months ahead. With weddings, you probably get to save the date months in advance. So use that lead time to set your price alert and book flights. Exactly. For our wedding, we sent out invitations about nine months early for that reason.

Often though, more important than how many months in advance you book is what day of the week you fly. We got some data from travel booking app Hopper showing that Saturdays are the cheapest day to fly of the week.

The next best thing you can do if you're going to a wedding over the weekend is to extend the trip. So the second cheapest days to fly are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. So if it's the kind of destination that you can make a trip out of it, I'd recommend extending your stay a few days if you can.

Of course, you have to calculate whether your savings on the airfare by flying midweek will be washed out by paying for extra nights of lodging. But if you have free lodging, this might work out.
