Anyone else getting married on a Sunday?

We chose Sunday because it was cheaper. Plus, my date is labor day weekend. We thought it would make it easier for people to come and not work on Monday, but people have been pretty busy with other plans.

We had a Sunday brunch wedding. My husband and his best man run a pizzeria and Sunday is they only day they are closed. Plus, I have a weird thing with numbers and the Sunday date looked better numerically to me (I know weird.)

The bonus was that we could do a brunch, because I prefer breakfast foods to dinner anyway. That's the only place we saw savings, not because of the day but the time and food we chose.

I think that's really sweet of you

I'm not, but it was definitely an option we were looking into.

@Just Reenski, did you have anyone complain about having it on a Sunday? I haven't had any push back from guests, but FMIL made some comments when we first announced our date.

We chose a Sunday because that's what our venue had available and it was cheaper. We tried to keep it more reasonable and planned it for Columbus Day weekend even though it doesn't help everyone it helps some.

Not really. Everyone knew with enough time, everyone understood that we'd like to have both the groom and his best man there. My dad wasn't fond of it, because we had a few family friends that would have to travel. But any day, they'd likely would have needed to spend one night, so a brunch worked because we were done early enough in the afternoon for them to make the trip back.

But still, even if people hadn't liked it, they were more than welcome to decline.

We are having a Sunday wedding as well. Because basically all of our guests are going to be coming from OOT, we aren't sure what kind of turn out we will have, and it looked like we probably wouldn't meet the Saturday minimum for the venue. Our options were to have a Friday or Sunday wedding, or change venues. I really really like our venue, so we went with Sunday. It is Veterans Day weekend, so a few people may have Monday off.

Since you say your FMIL made comments, have your FH explain why it's important to BOTH of you to have it on a Sunday.

It was easy for me to explain to my father that his future son in law, my husband, would really appreciate being able to have his best friend since the 5th grade stand with him at this wedding, and that was only possible on a Sunday. That's what made him say "Okay." Not saving money, but "I guess the groom should be happy, too."

And he was also appeased when I agreed to a limited bar and said he's welcome to buy drinks for whoever he wants. My dad is weird sometimes.

We chose it only because we wanted the date, otherwise I'd have it on a Saturday. However, like Nicole, we are hoping Columbus day will help a few and others we are telling to take off now (our close friends). There was no price difference.

I was a Sunday bride too. We had our wedding on Memorial Day weekend. We got a great deal and worked out great!

We chose a Sunday because of my H's job. Even if he put in for vacation, unfortunately, he may still have had to deal with work related issues. So a Sunday was a guarantee that we wouldn't have to deal with his job.

We explained to her the situation and she understood it. It just made me uneasy thinking if any of the other guests feel the same.

Good for you! I'm glad your cousin will be able to attend now. As a guest, I would not complain at all about a Sunday wedding. We're having ours on a holiday Friday and only a few people complained lol. We wouldn't have met the Saturday minimum for our venue (which FH and I both loved and agreed we would make it work,) so we had to do a Friday or Sunday.

We are still on the fence about Sunday weddings, personally I like the idea of a Saturday wedding since our receptions traditionally are a big party and I have average drinkers on both sides of our families. My brothers recently told me that they would not give up their Saturday for my wedding either which hurt me but I can respect their religion also (but that's a long story so I'm not changing it for them).

We are having a Sunday wedding. We gave 14 months notice, so people were able to plan accordingly. I haven't heard anyone complain about it being on a Sunday; a couple of people just assumed it was a Saturday though, so I would write out Sunday on any save the dates or invitations to avoid any confusion.

We chose Sunday bc our wedding will be a destination wedding for most guests (including us) on a holiday weekend. This way, guests have Saturday and Monday to travel. Surprisingly, it was also cheaper than Saturday eventhough it's Memorial Day weekend.

Yes I agree with Cubs ^^^ Definitely make sure that Sunday is written out on your stds, because otherwise people will assume it is a Saturday

My half-sister decided mid-June to get married on Sunday, July 28th, because her father's pancreatic cancer returned and there's not much they can do for him. On that short notice and with her tight budget, Sunday afternoon was her best option.

It went great (got lucky with the weather too considering the ceremony was outside). Nearly everyone they invited accepted the invite. There were a few no-shows but it wasn't too bad.

We chose Sunday b/c that was the only day the venue had available and price was better so worked out great. also, mil and his relatives are business owners so would've been harder for them to make it to sat since they would need to close the store early.

Were a sunday! Its good luck for italian families and my side of the family is very big on tradition
