There is no way to prevent a user from selecting specific dates, as far as I’m aware. It _might_ be possible with CSS, but I can’t say for sure.

One option you do have (if using a custom form) is to catch “invalid” dates in real time and show appropriate warning messages - and prevent saving - if they don’t meet specific criteria.

The above example doesn’t stop the user from selecting dates that you don’t want them to. But it does warn them when they do, and prevent them from saving.
