Apex Trigger to create a task on MVP object (Only Create on a weekday)

I have created a Apex Trigger to create a task on the MVP object when the Last Contacted On date is 30 days old.

Is there anyway i can make it so that the task will only be created on a weekday? (Monday - Friday)



trigger OldMVPTrigger on MVP__c (after insert) {
    
    List<Task> taskListToInsert = new List<task>();
    
    for(MVP__c mvp:Trigger.new)
    {
        if(mvp.Last_Contacted_On__c == Date.Today().addDays(-30)) 
        {
           task t = new Task();
           t.Subject = 'Call [MVP__c].MVP__c.FirstName Today';
           t.OwnerId = '[MVP__c].MVP_Owner__c';
           t.WhatId = mvp.Id;
           taskListToInsert.add(t);
        }
    }
    if(taskListToInsert.size() > 0)
    {
        insert taskListToInsert;
    }
}

Hi Sean 
Please try following code. 
trigger OldMVPTrigger on MVP__c (after insert) {
    
    List<Task> taskListToInsert = new List<task>();
    
    for(MVP__c mvp:Trigger.new)
    {
        if(mvp.Last_Contacted_On__c == Date.Today().addDays(-30) && system.today() <=    system.today().toStartOfWeek().addDays(5) ) 
        {
           task t = new Task();
           t.Subject = 'Call [MVP__c].MVP__c.FirstName Today';
           t.OwnerId = '[MVP__c].MVP_Owner__c';
           t.WhatId = mvp.Id;
           taskListToInsert.add(t);
        }
    }
    if(taskListToInsert.size() > 0)
    {
        insert taskListToInsert;
    }
}
