Sunday Wedding Vs Saturday Wedding

You can have a Sunday wedding that ends around 9 or 10. If the venue and guests are local that will still get them home before it's really late.

I'd splurge on the Saturday wedding because I know my group and we love to celebrate. It's definitely a know your crowd thing, though.

I'm getting married on a Sunday. Yes it is ending early (10pm) but honestly budget was more important.

By doing it Sunday i am able to have all the things i want which aren't necessarily needed ( mariachi, 2 dresses, photobooth).

If we would have stuck w/ a Saturday, we would have been way more tight on budget. Def wouldn't be able to afford 2 dresses and a photobooth.

Yes it is a party but at the end we felt that having a weding with all the things i want within budget is ok with us.

It really depends on both of u being on the same page with a Sunday wedding.

ETA: my weekend is labor day weekend so hopefully people will be off that monday. Idk what most of your guests do for work.

Just for more context. My guests and his guests are all across the board in terms of age and profession. It's definitely a mixed crowd. My family, who will have to fly in, told me that they would make Sunday work and that was comforting. Everyone else will drive back to the DMV or Philly. His friends will also fly in but he said they may not be able to take Monday off and that a Sunday day party would be mostly family. I'm giving him time to think it over. I'm trying to be patient.

I would do Saturday at the other venue.

Does "all inclusive" cover photography, dj, and floral as well? If not, go for the Sunday. Those will not fit into the $2k remaining budget. ETA: also remember to include tips in your over all budget.

We are having a Sunday ceremony and reception, but doing brunch. Price wasn't the only factor in the decision but it played a big role.

If you're set on Saturday, have it at the other venue! All venues have pros and cons, but if your crowd likes to party, I'd suggest a Saturday!

Why don't you try a Friday ... that should be cheaper then Saturday .... and also People intend to make it to places they want to be at ... if you have it on a Sunday ya friends or Future husband friends should be ok with that ... if they not willing to take a day off they not really some one I can consider a friend ... let's not forget they have time to do just that

Fridays I think are harder for those that have to work. At least from what I've heard here. i think it's a "know your crowd" thing. If I had a wedding invitation for a Sunday, I would definitely happily go but I wouldn't stay out late. If it was in a different city, I may have to decline because of work the next day.

I'd go with Saturday at the other venue. You get more of what it seems like you want within budget. Because as PP stated if photo and music isn't included that'll be n extra 4K not including tip.

If you are all about the party then I'd say splurge. It's your big day! But if you really want to use that money elsewhere then I'd say have a nice afternoon wedding on a Sunday and finish around 8...9 the latest. We are doing that

I'm doing a Sunday, but its a holiday weekend. I think that if people want to be there, they will be there, and if they don't, that's okay too. Just my perspective.

I would do saturday and other venue or do sunday on a holiday weekend. Your venue is not booked yet so you have some flexibility.

I'd do Saturday at the other venue. Nothing wrong with a good tent! And you get the prince that works on the day that works.

Honestly, I know it sounds selfish but that's what STDs are for imo. We opted for the Monday to save money as well. Most of our family has already gotten the time off approved.

I would either switch to the Sunday at the mansion, or go for the other venue for 10K on a Saturday. All Inclusive venues usually don;t include flowers, photographer, etc...and those alone will cost more than the 2K you will have left.

I would go for the other venue that you can have Saturday for 10K. I think if it looks nice on the inside that's what's important.

I would go for Saturday at the other venue.

Personally I opted for a Friday wedding - it was cheaper and since it's in the evening, people won't have to take off any work. Have you considered that as an option? I'm a real cheapskate so I would do the mansion on a Sunday and save the 3K. I can't imagine people would really refuse to go to such a big event just because it's a Sunday night. I know plenty of people who party on Thursdays and Sundays even though they have work the next day. Your FH's friends can suck it up and spend a workday a little hungover.

3k is a huge difference. It may seem ok because the other is still in budget, but trust me, you will end up needing that 3k or at least being happy you have it.

3k is a honey moon.
