Sunday weddings yay or nay?

Pro- budget friendly

Cons- many people will leave early... anything thing that many people do not consider is that many places are not open on sunday. My cousin had a birch of a time trying to get a hairstylist that worked on Sunday

I've been to a couple of Sunday weddings. Some because the were Jewish ceremonies and some just because. I think most I was an OOT guest for. I took Monday off for one wedding as I was in it. The others were either afternoon weddings or I left early.

If you have mostly local guests, I see nothing wrong with starting at 3pm. A brunch wedding could be cool though to.

We are doing a Sunday wedding. It was either going to be Friday or Sunday. We decided to go with Sunday because we felt that not as many people would skip out on the ceremony or be late to the cocktail hour.

The wedding will run until 9pm or 10pm. Some may think it's late, especially since the next day is a work day. However, many of our guests do go out during the work week and make it work just fine or work permitting can take the day off.

I'm having a Sunday wedding. It's a small ceremony though with only a cocktail hour after.

We had a Sunday wedding and didn't have any problems with guests. We started the ceremony at 4pm and the reception went until 9-930ish, which was plenty of time. Didn't have anyone leave early or complain and out of town guests flew back on Monday.

We had a Sunday wedding and didn't have any issues. Ceremony started at 4pm and the reception went until about 9-930ish. Out of town guests flew back on Monday and in town guests left at the end. It was plenty of time in my opinion.

Sorry didnt realize it went twice lol interent cut out and I had to retype my comment.

We're doing a Sunday wedding with a 4 pm ceremony. We have a lot of OOT guests so they will have to take time off from work anyways and reception ends at 9:30.

I take that back. My first wedding was on a Sunday. Everyone had a blast and stayed late.

We're having a Sunday brunch wedding. I strongly recommend either brunch or lunch for a Sunday. Sunday evening parties are rough when you have work the next day.

I'm getting married on a Thursday night lol

We are having our wedding on a Sunday because it was almost a 10K difference between a Saturday and a Sunday wedding. I wasn't too keen on a Sunday wedding at first, but then I realized that even if I had my wedding on a Saturday, people in the bridal party were still going to have to take Friday off (because the wedding is 4 hours away.) So with it being on a Sunday, people will be coming into town Friday after work, and we have all weekend to party before the wedding. Our wedding starts early (2:00 PM due to the lighting in the room) & will end around 7:30 PM, but we all plan to go out after since it is still so early. I really think a Sunday wedding is the way to go if you're a budget conscious bride, but still want a particular venue, as all the associated costs get cut. =)

We had our wedding on a Sunday. It was at 6:30 (sunset) and then we had a reception at the beach house after. It didn't go really late- only until 11:00 or so, but it was great!! Fewer scheduling conflicts I think.

We're having our wedding on a Sunday but it's memorial weekend so people will have the following Monday off to deal with their hangover and fly home without missing work. We didn't get a discount for choosing Sunday but my sister is turning 30 that Saturday so we didn't want to steal her day.

We were initially planning a Sunday brunch wedding, but our venue couldn't accommodate the Sunday date we wanted, so they gave us the Saturday before at Sunday pricing / minimums. I think Sunday weddings are a great idea as long as they end early enough for anyone who has to work Monday or travel Sunday night.

Do you have a lot of people traveling?

I've been to one Sunday wedding which started at 5 pm. I was able to get off from work on Monday so it wasn't a big deal, but I imagine if you have people who are very important to you traveling long distances to see you get married you might want to reconsider. It is definitely cheaper, but you risk important people not being able to come or stay as long to celebrate with you.

We're having a Sunday brunch wedding!!!! Totally ok with it; people can come straight from church, not worry about what to wear, and the reception won't get out of hand, etc. (not that Saturday night receptions all get out of hand, but it has been known to happen).

I've attended Sunday weddings and our wedding is on a Sunday. I would have expected Sunday weddings to feel like less of a party, but that hasn't been my experience so far. Ours will be over by 9 so those who plan to work or go to school the next day can get home ( or leave early if they need to). So far I know all of my aunts and uncles and my and fh's closest friends have booked hotel rooms to stay over on Sunday night, so I know we will have an after party with them. Some of my cousins with school age kids can't come or aren't bringing the whole family, which we were afraid might happen. It's a trade off, and unfortunately every day of the week will be inconvenient for someone. The cost savings (we are saving at least $6k) were worth it to us.

Keep in mind...even for Saturday weddings, people traveling long distances (longer than 4 hour drive) will most likely still need to take a day off work. And if someone has to take a 5 hour flight, they most likely don't want to go home the next day, so they'll be taking off work anyway.

So if someone is really that important to you, they will take the time off, if they don't ...they're just making excuses to not go.

We are having ours on a Sunday night in August. Many people are coming from out of town so they already have to take time off, and many of those in town are taking the Monday off. It depends on your crowd - those who want to party no matter what day it is held on will do so and take the next day off.
