Ceremony On a Sunday

Our wedding is on a Sunday because of the price. Couldn't beat half price for a Sunday!! Buuut, it is on Memorial Day Weekend so pretty much everyone has the following day off anyway. It was a win, win situation for us.

Yea I wAS thinking that same weekend. But I’m used to so many people going on vacation with their family for the holiday. Dont know if it would be an issue for me

The price difference was one of the reasons why we decided on a Friday wedding. Nothing weird about having a Sunday wedding, depending on the time, done people might need to leave earlier because of work the next day.

With enough advance notice, you shouldn't have any issues with guests attending.

Not weird at all. My first wedding was on a Sunday and it went until 11 p.m. We had everyone but 2 people show up and stay the entire time. We also did it because not only was there no food and beverage minimum but they also waived the rental fee.

My only concern is majority of the guests attending all have kids and they would leave early like around 8!!

We do most of our family gatherings on Sundays because my brother works in food and getting saturdays off is tough. I think Sundays are completely normal but I would keep in mind the people that work on Monday with how late you want it to go. If it's a holiday weekend where people often travel, I would get STDs out sooner rather than later.

No, it's. It weird to have it on a Sunday. I would definitely go to a Sunday wedding. My sister had a destination wedding at the beach in a Sunday.

A lot of people get married on sundays. I do not think that is a problem at all. Consider though that because it is sunday the ceremony time might be better to start a little earlier that way it gives people time to get home before it is too late since some of them may have to work the next day.

I'm personally not as much of a fan of Sunday weddings. But if that price works better for you, then go for it. Just be prepared for people to leave earlier because they might have to work the next morning. If it's a three-day holiday weekend, the price for the Sunday may be the same as Saturdays anyways. That is how my venue is.

We also did a Sunday wedding on Memorial Day weekend. We did a late morning ceremony and brunch.

I've been to a Sunday wedding and it was fine. You may lose out on some people who already have long weekend plans or can't travel because they have to work on Monday, but those who you are closest with will make the effort. The Sunday wedding I went to was over 2 hours from where I lived, but it was for one of my college roommates who I love dearly, and it didn't bother me at all. If it's not on a long weekend, people may not stay to the end, but I think this is becoming more common now.

View Quoted Comment Ill have to look at a Sunday that is before a holiday. Which I think is Memorial weeekend. My concern are the kids. All my guests have at least 2 kids and most likely leave early to get them ready for school.

Sunday weddings are becoming more and more common! Go for it, especially if it saves you money!

I'm a bigger fan of Friday weddings than Sunday weddings, but I don't think it's weird. I probably wouldn't stay late at a Sunday wedding because I need a lot of sleep to function like a normal person and Monday and Tuesday are 12 hour days for me between work and school.

I think it depends on your crowd and what you want. My friend got married on a Thursday, and it was beautiful and most everyone made it. But no one drank really and it ended pretty early. I assume the same would happen on a Sunday. It just depends on the wedding vibe you're going for.

Our wedding is on a Sunday. Many factors made this work for us: I'm a teacher and it's the start of my fall break. Also, most guests are teachers. It's Columbus Day weekend, and while I know most don't have this weekend off, some do. Then there's the fact that other than my teacher-friends, 99% are coming from out of town and making an extended weekend of it. It would either be taking a Friday off or a Monday. We figured that hotels and flights might be cheaper making this switch. Not to mention the price difference for a Sunday wedding for our venue. Something great happened that we weren't expecting: many vendors were still open because they may have had a Saturday event, but are able to also do our Sunday night wedding.

We're having a Sunday wedding but ours is on Labor day weekend (our venue way the same and thousands of dollars cheaper to do it on Sunday). Last year I went to a Sunday wedding where we worked the next day, it seemed a little odd and we didn't drink as much since we worked the next day. I know some took the next day off. But the fact it was on Sunday didn't really stop any of us from going.

If you're worried about kids, I would say there maybe a chance a lot of parents would leave early even on a Saturday if they have kids, but maybe think of starting the ceremony and reception a little earlier.

I’m having a Sunday wedding! It will start at 3:00 and end at 9:00! I’m not concerned at all cause my family are excited and June school will be out and children are invited to my wedding.
