Friday or Sunday??

We are getting married on a Friday! My family likes to party and they are all off on Saturdays. They can drink and dance without worrying about working the next day. It just personally works better for our crowd.

I’m doing a Sunday afternoon wedding, that way no one has to miss work! Plus it’s cheaper

I’m team Friday. I’ve been to a few Friday weddings (and am having one myself) and would much rather take an hour or 2 off work than not stay up late possibly drinking on a Sunday.

We are doing a Sunday wedding 1 pm ceremony. Everything should be wrapping up by 6 😊

Friday. It’s less expensive.

I would rather have and go to a Friday evening ceremony. I don't want to have to go to work the day after.

I chose to have my wedding on a Sunday. First it’s really hard to get to a Friday night wedding. Second my guests can make a long weekend of it and take off Monday.

Sunday, but earlier in the afternoon so people don’t have to worry about leaving late and going to work. Guests may leave early if it’s to late. I didn’t feel it was right to ask people to take a day off from work on Friday

My first wedding was a Sunday on a holiday weekend (Columbus Day Monday) and people still left early. My current wedding will be a Friday only because I couldn’t get my venue on Saturday like I wanted. It will be small but since it’s a destination wedding 3 hours away from home, I am hoping I get them to stay! Ceremony isn’t until 6 pm so it should work out for everyone! My fingers are crossed.

As a guest I always prefer Friday over Sunday! I can usually work most of all of the day (something like a 6pm start time is good for this!). And even if I’m traveling it’s not that bad. I think people are more likely to want to party into the night then too. And plus it doesn’t feel like your whole weekend is gone

We are doing a Sunday, of a holiday weekend where people have Monday off. This gives people plenty of time to travel and the majority of people wouldn’t even have to take time off work unless they want to make a several day trip of it. (Destination wedding in New Orleans).

I wouldn't do Sunday unless your not planning to stay up/out late to celebrate. That way guests don't have to worry about hang overs the next day at work. If you have it Friday some people may not be able to get work off for it.

Sunday, so people can take the day to get all dressed up and drive there instead of rushing after work.

We are having a Sunday wedding! People will already be off and a lot of our guests took Monday off because its a mini destination wedding.

I’d say a Sunday as most people work Friday and if you were having something that wasn’t going last late into the night as a lot of people work on Monday.

I’d also say a Friday as most people are off on a Saturday so going late into the night or having an after party would work best.

We picked Sunday 3-9pm —- 11.08.2020 (it’s also my birthday) 😁

Although I would have to take the day off I would prefer going to a Friday wedding over a Sunday wedding.

I’m having my wedding on Sunday because it’s cheaper. Both are tricky days because people have to work, but i would probably say Friday since most people are already off Saturday.

I was originally dead set on Saturday but ended up changing my mind. FH was always ok with Friday. I was open to a Sunday brunch wedding but the venue's event time started at 8 am, and we knew no one would be there on time.

Our Friday wedding will have a pre ceremony cocktail hour at 4, ceremony at 5. The idea is this will give people time to arrive in time for the ceremony and keep the early birds entertained. Most of our guests are local, and shouldn't have to take time off of work. We have a small handful of guests that are out of town, but they should be able to drive down on the day of. I'm hoping a Friday wedding will discourage crashers, last minute plus ones past the RSVP date, and people who invite themselves.

I totally agree with do what works best for you. I chose a Friday but would consider Saturday also, I know for us, Sunday is probably not even an option since we desire to have our ceremony in a church. We are however still in the early planning phase. our guest are split 50/50. Mine will be local while ALL of his guest must travel 4 hrs or more.
