Sunday wedding?

View Quoted Comment My date falls on Super Bowl Sunday. We didn't realize it until after we booked, but my first thought was cool! Fewer mouths to feed! ...my second thought was to make sure FH would still show if his team made it to Super Bowl again. 😂

He said he'll be fine but requested we look into having a TV set up at the reception and/or in one of the ready rooms so he and the guys can pop in to check the score from time to time.

Yeah I understand mines will be 3pm until 10pm I figure people will leave early at least the cleaning crew can start and we can leave a little early also. We have a minimum of 100 so no matter what it's a set number I'm not going over 100 ppl someone will just get cut off.

Yes you have to do what is best for you both. I was thinking the same way and we both said let's just make it the date we want who ever wants to be there will be there.

We decided to still make it dinner wedding and receptions locations are different. Wedding at 3pm cocktail hour 4pm and dinner will be at 5pm.

I personally do not mind a Sunday wedding, but I do agree with the many people saying to let the guest know in advance so they can take the Monday off or go in late if they wish. Also, some venues will change their hours for a Sunday and have your wedding end around 10 pm or such instead of midnight

We are having a Sunday wedding and it hasn't been an issue for anyone so far, but mostly because it is a lunchtime wedding that will start at noon and be over by 5. For out of town guests, I realized it really doesn't matter between Saturday night and Sunday afternoon... since most of our out of town guests that we spoke to said that they would take Friday off to travel to a Saturday wedding, and would take Monday off to travel home from a Sunday wedding, so it'd still be one day off either way. And for out of town guests who cant/dont want to take any time off work, it's actually worked a little better for them. They can travel all day Saturday, arrive and get a good night sleep in a hotel, and then if they have to they can take a Sunday evening flight back home without missing any of the wedding, and without missing any work. As for our local guests, they'll be home for dinner and have plenty of time at home before having to go to sleep for work the next day.

TLDR: I think Sunday weddings are great if you're planning to have it earlier in the day. Sunday evening would be a very different story because even though it's a weekend, it's a "work-night." If you are set on having an evening wedding and don't want a Saturday, I think Friday night is better than Sunday night.

Well my wedding will be at 3:00pm cocktail hour at another location 4pm dinner 5pm until 10:00pm I'm sure it will end earlier maybe like 9:00 or 9:30pm or so.

I think they are fine as long as they end early enough for people that have to work the next day. Ours is on a Sunday. Ceremony starts at 2 pm, reception ends at 6 pm.

So long as it's not in the evening and/or more than 50 miles away, I'm okay with a Sunday wedding. But it would never be my first choice.

My cousin did a Sunday wedding and it didn't have as good of a turnout as a Saturday wedding would have. I think the problem was that a lot of the guests had to travel several hours to the wedding. If the guests are mostly local I think a Sunday wedding would be fine. If there's a lot of out of town guests, some may opt not to come.

We’re having a Sunday wedding! I could not be more excited. All of the guests we’ve told so far have said it’s no issue at all! We’re having our ceremony at 3:30pm!

Having a Sunday wedding here! Sent out save the dates already. The wedding is over at 9pm, so if someone actually needs to take off work on Monday, that will be at their sole discretion. Much better than a Friday wedding where folks are forced to take off work, I have all day Saturday to prep, and saved a ton of money.
