Sunday Weddings- Your thoughts?

I'm having a Sunday wedding as well, totally agree so much cheaper. I think you'll be ok.

I'm having one. People would have had to take off Friday to get to a Saturday wedding, so what's the difference taking off Monday instead? Plus they have all weekend to explore if they want to come in early and hang out in a new location.

@elizabeth many people I know don't have to take Friday off to go to Saturday wedding, even those flying across the country! I just try to grab a flight Friday evening or even Saturday morning if it's an evening wedding

I know plenty of people who had their wedding on a Sunday. The people whom matter will make it there regardless of the day. I will say personally I am not a fan because I hate having to go into work on Mondays after, but I have never missed a Sunday wedding as of yet just because its a Sunday.

We are having a Sunday wedding and I am not worrying about it. Ceremony at 3 reception 4-8. So far the closest to us don't have an issue and will be there. I think it will be a good time and people will be happy. Hopefully at least lol

I've been to a Sunday wedding. Was it my favorite? No it was in another state, I didn't have a ton of vacation time, so I had to go in for a half a day Monday. Was it one of my great friends, so I sucked it up and dealt with it all, yes. Your people who want to be there will be there(wedding mentioned, had 200 there). You just might not get everyone, but the majority who want to be there will make it happen. It's not a huge inconvenience.

We had a Sunday afternoon/early evening wedding. Out of the 109 guests invited, 97 came. I couldn't have asked for a better day. In the weeks leading up to it I stressed that nobody would dance or drink and that my side, who isn't used to Sunday weddings, wouldn't have fun. It turned out amazing. My side kept telling me how much fun they had. And of course his side did too but I wasn't worried so much about them since we had the wedding on a Sunday for them (Jewish) There was a lot of people dancing (more than I expected) and the bar seemed to be busy until an hour at the end. The only people who left early were my friend and her bf (their dogs were in doggy daycare and they had to pick up) and my dad's friend and his wife. Of course, check with your VIPS and make sure the date works with them before you go with anything.

Have you thought of maybe doing it close to a federal holiday where you most people already have Monday off?

I had a Sunday wedding. 80 people came and we invited 89, so it was a pretty good turnout and was still very lively! People did leave on the earlier side but it didnt matter because I was super tired by the end anyway.

Sunday weddings are becoming super popular, at least in my area. I was recently in my friends Sunday wedding, she had a good RSVP rate. A lot of people did start leaving after cake, but at that point it was 9PM and she only had the hall til 10 anyway. Many had an hour drive back, and we all had work the next day. It was totally fine, honesty if that's what you want that's fine.

I'm having mine on a Sunday. The next day is a holiday, so that's perfect for me and my guests.

It really depends on your personality and what you want. It sounds to me that you want high attendance and to party which is more likely to happen at a Saturday wedding.

I'm having a Sunday brunch wedding on a holiday weekend. We had a bunch of hurdles to jump as far as picking a date (had to be in May, couldn't be the first two weekends, and couldn't be a Saturday in late May), so it was the perfect solution.

@Ms.Fox- Date twin, yay!

I've worked Sunday weddings before. People have fun times but lot more people leave early due to worrying about work and things. I notice them leaving after the cake. I do agree though that the price is more affordable for a Sunday wedding.

I'm also having my wedding on a Sunday. Majority of my family is traveling from out of town. I only have my co-worker that might have some issues. Due to all of us work in the same department lol. Who is going to take care of the patients? lol

We're doing a Sunday wedding ending around 6. It looks like most OOT guests already have a place to stay that night. I know a few will leave early, and I completely understand. It happens at every wedding.

Go for it!! I would have the attitude of "So I am a little sleepy on Monday....oh well!" I wanted a Sunday afternoon wedding myself (to save money, of course!) but was overruled!! Have a great time! People who leave early would probably leave early on a Saturday night, too!

If I went to an OOT wedding on a Saturday, it's very likely I would have to take off Friday. This doesn't seem much different than a Monday for a Sunday wedding

@Kat, most of my oot guest will be driving in for the wedding. They would have definitely had to take off Friday for travel. But it all goes back to checking with your VIP's to be sure it's good for them. But like I stated above, I won't be offended if people leave early. I'm going to be so tired by the time 9:00 comes around.

I feel like it don't matter the day because ppl wrk everyday so even if it was a Saturday ppl can get off Sunday....so if they going to come they going to come no matter what day it is....
