Sunday Wedding....good or bad idea?

Pick a date that works for you. Your closest family and friends will do what it takes. Not everyone will attend regardless of the day.

If that is what is available and you love the venue the it will work out. I got an invite for a Thursday wedding that is across the country! In order to make it we would have to take three days off from work. We can't do it but a lot of the bride and grooms family are making it work. They sent the STD out almost a year in advance to help those who would need to travel make arrangements early.

My wedding is Sunday morning and it is awesome so far. Venues are cheaper, Caterers are cheaper, its Labor Day weekend so a lot of people are off on Monday anyway. Its really turning out to be super nice ^_^

Do what you gatta do. You could always have a gathering later down the road for guests that could not make it. Like a summer BBQ or the like.

I love the idea of a brunch and mid-day wedding on a Sunday! I think for a Sunday wedding to accommodate more people, you should do it earlier in the day so people have the option to travel back home that afternoon/night if necessary.

My wedding is on a Sunday afternoon/evening and we love it! Everything is much cheaper when your wedding is on a "off peak" day. Our venue, food, bar, photobooth and other things are cheaper because of our day.

Just pick a date you and your FH are comfortable with. Those that really care about you, your wedding and want to celebrate with you and FH will find a way to be there and make accomodating travel arrangements.

I don't know, we have a Sunday wedding (1/3 of the cost for our venue), but it is Martin Luther King JR. weekend so most people don't have work/school the next day anyways.

Any other Sunday I wouldn't have done... it is too hard om your guests. Especially if you have people coming from out of town.

Welcome to the WeddingWire Community @Kylee! Working at WeddingWire I've seen many wedding users have their date on Sunday so you're not alone-- it's what works for you! I also really like CrystalS' suggestion

I had a Sunday wedding, and it worked out great. We had a delicious brunch reception, got done early enough for our few OOT'ers to make it back home and everyone had plenty of time to rest before work the next day. I think a Sunday wedding would be just fine, especially if you have a lot of folks traveling anyway, but I'd check with your VIPs (parents, siblings, bestest best friends), just in case.

And I hope you'll stick around and update your avatar (the rings) to any unique picture so we can remember you when we help you in the future!

Hi, welcome to WW!

Choose a date and location that is convenient for you. Particularly if most of your guests will have to travel anyway. I've been to a few Sunday weddings and it really didn't make a lot of difference from Saturday weddings. If you found a venue that is close to you, even better. Most of the time you have multiple meetings, food tasting, decor set up, etc. In other words, the closer the venue, the less stressful your life is.

Congrats and happy planning!

Our wedding is on a Sunday. Like others mentioned, it is cheaper with many vendors so that was a huge plus. We have the ceremony starting at 3 and everything ending at 7:30, so it's early enough in the day that people can stay for the whole wedding, have a good time, and leave to still have some time to relax at home before work the next day.

Our wedding is on a Sunday and down the street from where we live in Atlanta. Most of our family live in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, FL, but they also promised to be at our wedding regardless.

Choose what is convenient for you and your FH. Friends and family will travel to be there no matter what.

Our wedding is going to be on a Wednesday. This has made everything up to 50% off. I choose to have the reception from 4pm to 8pm so that most people would be able to at least come to the reception if they could not make the ceremony. It sounds mean but i think it will trim the guest list without me having to do it. The people I absolutely have to have there will be, but the family that I only see at reunions may not come and wont hurt my feelings or my pocket. I chose the date for a sentimental reason and will not change it for any reason. If that means that I will only have 30 people there that is fine with me. Anyway I think that you should do what if right for you. It is your wedding

I am in almost the same exact situation as you are. We live in NC but have family all over, mostly the west coast. I have moved about 7 times in the last 4 years, and FH has moved 6. We are having our wedding on a Sunday because thats the day I wanted it to be on. The way I see it is... our guests are going to traveling anyway. Chances are they will come in the day before anyway, and leave the day after at a minimum probably. So, if I did it on a Saturday, they would miss work on Friday. What difference is it if they miss Monday instead? Plus, nobody actually wants to be at work on a Monday : )

Sunday is the best for us as it is more affordable as stated earlier in some oth e other post. We live in MD. But we plan to wed in DE. which is only roughly 2 hrs. away or less. So I don't think any of our guest will have any transpo. issues with it being on that day. The ceremony will be at 11 am. Originally we planned our reception to be an evening event but since we're revamping our ideas (due to cost) I may consider doing a brunch instead so that if anyone wants to stay for the reception they can & will have plenty enough time to get home for work/etc. Sunday evening if they choose.

Welcome to WW & happy planning!

We picked our date for Sunday because it was convenient for our BM and MOH. Also it was a day where it was cheapest for everything we are using!!

I'm gonna have a Sunday wedding. And like all the other lovely ladies everything is working out great so far. My ceremony is at 3 and cocktail hour starts at 5. Reception is over at 10. I think that is early enough. For people who wanna come and live far they will take off Monday if needed. I think I'm gonna send my save the dates out early to give people a heads up about the Sunday wedding. If it works for you and FH then go for it!

We are also doing a Sunday wedding! A. Its a lot cheaper. B. I love the feel of having a whole weekend celebration. C. Ours is OOT so everyone would have had to take a day off work anyway. D. Not one person has complained about taking a Monday off work.

My wedding is on a Sunday, it's significantly cheaper than Friday & Saturday, and I'm finding that a lot of vendors are available. However, my wedding is on Memorial day weekend, so that Monday being a national holiday definitely helps our out of town guest since they have an extra day. But choose what works best for you and your budget.

If that's what works best for you and your FH, then it's perfect!

I honestly don't really like Sunday weddings (I've been to two)....I mean I still go, and I would definitely still go, but I just don't prefer them because I like my Sundays to be about relaxation, winding down, etc etc AND there is football (I know it may not seem like a big deal to many people, but both weddings I went to on a Sunday in the fall all the men were on their phones checking scores), but that being said we're doing a Friday wedding and I know a lot of people don't like that, so do what's best for you all and you'll find people will come either way (and some people won't come either, no matter what day)
