The bride's and groom's birthdates and times are required for selecting the dates.

Those who have good grasp of the chinese language may select the dates from a chinese calendar or chinese almanac.

Usually even numbered months and dates are preferred. The lunar seventh month is avoided for all wedding related events as it is the month of the chinese Hungry Ghost Festival.

Some popular chinese wedding dinner locations require reservations more than a year in advance.

Chinese calendars and chinese almanacs for the following year are published towards the end of the year. If you are planning a wedding more than a year in advance, they may not be available yet.

If so, you may consider having the wedding dinner on another day. Having the banquet on another day can be easier on the budget as some restaurants charge more on popular auspicious dates.
