Sunday Wedding: good or bad?

I say do whatever you want. Some may not come because of the day; that’s fine.

I just want most to come and I sigh because cheaper.

My aunt did a Sunday wedding. The people who want to be there will be !!! You have to do whats best for you 😘

Depends on where people are coming from,are most local?then they will likely come and what time are you thinking?

We are having a Sunday wedding! We haven't sent out invitations yet, but it seems like the date really isn't an issue for the vast majority of our guests

Do it! You can always do an afternoon wedding starting at 1 or 2, that way it doesn’t end super late. Those who want to be there will be there!

View Quoted Comment Most of the family is local with some from MA. It's just cheaper...

Those coming from MA may not come because they may not want to take a vacation day

They're not the most convenient for out of town guests but do what works for you!

I would be happy to attend a Sunday wedding (I agree the price break is helpful!) if:
1) Sunday brunch or
2) Earlier afternoon/evening so it ended by 8 or 9 pm

Dancing isn’t a requirement for me as a guest. I’m happy with a nice meal, drinks & social time. I’ve been to several smaller (40-50 guests) weddings that didn’t have a DJ/dancing either. Nice upscale-feeling weddings. If a lot of your guests don’t dance, save that money because it’s not necessary for a Sunday evening. If you do have a lot of older guests, a soloist (guitarist?) or impersonator could be nice music.

I say go for it. We are having a Sunday wedding. My mother said, "if they want to be there, they will." People will make a way to attend if they truly want to be there. They may not stay all the way up unit the end but thy will show up. MY FSIL just had her wedding this past September on a Sunday, EVERYONE CAME. The reception was over around 9 I believe, and she had an after party afterward and a lot of people showed up to the after party!

We are having a Sunday wedding. We really debated on this but what we finally decided is that people who care about us will make it a point to be there and many have even told us they are taking Monday off from work. Our reception will end at 10:30 but that is fine. We realize some may leave early so we had to come to terms with that. But I think it will still be wonderful and i think we may have an after party at a local bar for those who are still having fun!

I'm having a Sunday wedding. Is your date chosen already? I'm having mine September 1st, and labor day is the Monday after. So we save money for having it on a Sunday, but most people already have the next day off because it's a holiday!!

We are having a Sunday wedding!! August 11 I agree with everyone else and say go for it!! You’ll save lots of money usually and it’s also usually cheaper for people to fly back or less hectic driving back on a Monday which people might like. Then you can also do your rehearsal on a Saturday which might be more convenient than a Friday

I’m having a Sunday wedding. If ppl can take Friday off then they can take Monday off. We’re ending at 8pm so not too late. If ppl want to come they’ll be there and if not we’ll have fun without them.

Are having a Sunday wedding. Our ceremony begins at noon and our reception will be over by 5 so it shouldn’t interfere with local guests’ work at all. For out of towners, they’d still have the option of taking an evening flight back home and being at work on Monday.

But we also gave our guests lots of advanced notice (like, we told our VIPs a full year in advance). Many of them have already requested Monday off work so they can fly home on Monday. But we deliberately made our reception end early enough so that they wouldn’t HAVE to.

My friend recently had a SATURDAY afternoon wedding... mutual friend lives across the country and couldn’t get off work, but desperately wanted to come. Friend flew Friday night, on a red eye from California to Maryland, and came to the wedding on Saturday literally straight from the airport after 2 hours of sleep. When I saw her, she proceeded to THANK me for having a Sunday afternoon wedding instead of Saturday hahaha. If you think about it from an out of town perspective, Sunday afternoon is actually probably ideal... you can fly in Friday night (or even Saturday morning if you hate redeyes like me!) and then go to the wedding Sunday, and still have time to fly home Sunday night if you have to. I know for my friend, our Sunday afternoon wedding is working out MUCH better for her than a Saturday one. This is actually part of the reason we chose Sunday (for the friend and for other guests who will have to do the same).

Also just to add, you have to remember not everyone works Monday-Friday! My MOH is a caretaker and her days off are Monday and Tuesday. One of my bridesmaids is a hairdresser and her days off are Sunday and Monday! So for them, Sunday is actually BETTER than Saturday.

We are having a Sunday wedding as well. I had anxiety about it at first because I was worried about people not coming. But as others have said, the most important people will be there. We are also doing ours on Columbus Day weekend so most people will have that Monday off. Do what makes you happy and makes your wallet happy!

I think the majority of people that would attend your wedding on Saturday will also attend it on Sunday. That being said, I wanted a late night party (open bar, snacks, dancing, after party, etc.) so I made sure to have my wedding on a Saturday night. I just can't picture the majority of people dancing and drinking until midnight on a Sunday when they would work the next day.

Sunday weddings are just as fun to me as Saturdays. And most people can take off a day or 2 from work as long as you let them know far in advanced. If you do a holiday wedding ( like Labor Day) that's a little more expensive for flights, I believe. I thought about doing a Sunday wedding right before MLK Day, but March ended up being perfect for me (teacher with spring break) & my FH ( most of his friends live in parts of the country where the weather will be bad then. We figured we could give them a reprieve from all the snow by coming to TX!)
