We are doing a Sunday (6/7/2020). Not so much to save the money but we switched our venue and it was the closest date available at the new venue without being on a holiday weekend (Valentines Day, Memorial Day Weekend, Mother’s Day, etc). Our original date at the first venue was a Saturday and at first I DID NOT want it on a Sunday ...... butttttt I have since thought it over and our wedding is over at 11pm, kids are out of school for the summer, and heck- if you want to drink heavily then take Monday off 🙂 hehe. I could care less now.

Wow....see this what im speaking of. I set a date for myself but its not in stone nor does it have significance. I will choose my venue first and then decide on a date according to the price
My wedding is scheduled for 5/10/20 that’s not only a Sunday it’s also Mother’s Day 😊 The money I would possibly save was lost due to the holiday. However, to offset the cost slightly we decided to have a morning ceremony with a brunch reception
We're planning on having a Sunday brunch, that's why we picked a Saturday, but otherwise I don't see anything wrong with a Sunday wedding. The only reason not to is if there are guests who will want to skip the wedding for church, I had a friend who's great-aunt skipped their wedding to go to church, but other than that, yeah, it saves good money so I would go for it!
As long as people know in advance when the wedding is, having a Sunday wedding shouldn’t be an issue. Unless guests want to pitch in for a peak day wedding, you can do it when you want. I’m having mine on Father’s Day next year, but no one attending has an issue. Saturday will be the perfect day to get those last minute things done. # TeamSundayWedding
We are doing a Sunday wedding because it’s much cheaper and we are doing it on a holiday weekend so most people if not all people have Monday off! It’s a win win!

We thought about this as well. Since we were looking at off season weddings to begin with. However we went with a Friday. It was a little bit more expensive than Sunday. However, it was less than a Saturday. We feared people would leave really early on a Sunday. We want to make sure we get our moneys worth!
I am having a Saturday wedding, but I was recently at a Sunday wedding and it was a blast! I prefer them to Friday weddings because I can take my time getting there and don’t have to go from work. The Sunday wedding ended at midnight, some people left early but most didn’t!
We also decided to do a Sunday because of money issues. My cousin did it at her wedding and it still went so smoothly and everyone was able to make it!
Yeah we’re having a Sunday wedding! Our venue was 40% off then and we’re getting married this coming memorial weekend so no family works on Monday. It’s going to be perfect too because people who are traveling have Saturday to get here.

Hey gal!
My fiancé and I chose to have our wedding on a Sunday because there is a drastic price point between Saturday and Sunday which we thought seemed a little crazy. Since we have a lot of family coming in from out of town, we decided to make our wedding a long weekend event so people know to take time off of work, find accommodations, etc.
I planned a Sunday wedding because it saved us a lot of money. A lot of people think they need to have a early wedding or a Brunch reception because its on a Sunday--NOPE! It's your wedding, do what you want, when you want. And if any one complains that your wedding starts at 4pm and NOT 12pm, they clearly have their priorities mixed and it's likely better that they dont attend. ("This is the time that best worked for us. I understand if you'd prefer not to attend. Let me know of your decision ASAP. Thanks.") No need to apologize for planning what you want.
The other thing that made me worry about a Sunday wedding was that people wouldn't let loose and have fun cuz of the next day being a Monday... Turns out, many of my guests were MORE THAN HAPPY to have a legitimate excuse to miss work on a Monday. So, there's that. And a lot of people would rather travel on a weekend than in the middle of their work week. So it works out a bit better because they're a little less stressed as it is.
My wedding is a Sunday! 3pm-7pm. They can leave with enough time to get home and in bed by 9/10pm for work Monday but most of my close friends and family will just take Monday off! I never once thought Sunday would be a huge issue for people. They can just leave earlier if they really needed too! Hopefully people who really wanna be there would make it happen, ya know? That's my feelings on it anyway.
I was wanting a Saturday and we are actually getting married on a sunday. My fiance picked the date so it meant a lot. The plus side is, that monday is a holiday so most people will be off work the next day also. And of course it saved money which was aweome!!
