Sunday Weddings!

I'm having a Friday wedding but my FSIL had a Sunday wedding. I remember it made life a lot easier for people to be able to come, but she did start crying after a lot of people left before she even cut her cake. They had work the next day and the cake was being cut super late so it was understandable. I would just say to make sure your meals and dessert are served at a reasonable time or even a little early in consideration of the guests who cannot stay late. My FSIL's wedding went until 2am and by the end of the night only her and her husband were left dancing.

I'm having a Sunday wedding. So far everyone has been okay with it, plus everyone has off the Monday for Labor Day.

FH and I originally had plans for a Sunday wedding, but our overall plans changed, and we are going in a different direction and have a different date now. When we had the original Sunday date, no one on my side of the family gave any grief over it, but FH's mom and grandmother complained about it a couple of times because they were worried no one would go, or people would leave early, but no one ever directly mentioned anything to us about it being an issue. Overall, just plan things a little earlier in anticipation that some people might not stay until the end it it all runs too late. Other than that, Sunday weddings are perfectly fine, and fairly common.

We had a Sunday evening wedding last week. Ceremony started at 6pm, cocktail hour at 7pm. We had dinner maybe around 9pm? 90% of our guests stayed until the bitter end at 11pm.

My wedding is on a sunday and everyone loves it! Then I have it at a time where If people want to go to church first they can and still have time to come to the wedding

I've been to a few Sunday weddings and it's never been an issue for me. Sunday weddings tend to start earlier than a Saturday wedding, thus they end ealier.

We're having our ceremony at 6 pm also! So glad to hear you had success with yours! Most of our guests are coming from out of town anyway (married in Baltimore with my family coming from Philadelphia and his from Cleveland) so I assume they'll all take off Monday.

I've had to miss two dear friends weddings because they were out of town and on a Sunday. Like a lot of people it's easier for me to sneak out Friday or leave Friday after work and make a Saturday wedding then to try and miss a Monday. Probably could've done it if they were earlier on Sunday these wedding starting in the late afternoon and had a full dinner and dancing afterwards so there was no way to take a flight out or drive back that night.

I was able to attend another friend's wedding on a Sunday because it was on a holiday weekend. It may travel a bit more expensive but it really was no different then a Saturday wedding in terms of time off.

I'm having a Sunday wedding in September 2018, too! We did it to keep our costs down. My mom wasn't happy at first but I we're going to end at 9pm and any guests who have to work on Monday can leave a bit earlier. If we were getting married on a Saturday, our bridal parties and family would probably have wanted Friday off for prep so I don't feel so bad about them taking Monday off. We also have some family members that usually work on Saturdays so it might be more convenient for them. Either way, as long as you host your guests well, they will have a good time regardless of what day you chose.

My wedding is on a Sunday. Nobody has expressed an issue with the day and Columbus Day is the next day. It also starts at 1pm

We're having a Sunday afternoon September wedding as well for the same reason. The venue we loved had been booked out on Saturdays a year out. And they gave us a break in the price for doing it in Sunday. Friends and family are okay with it. We purposely planned it s bit earlier to accommodate those that have to work the next day.

I'm having a Sunday wedding for the same reasoning, although mine is on a holiday weekend. Some people have said a few things but it's not a huge deal.

We're having a Sunday wedding this September! Same reason as you - all the Saturdays were booked and we even booked almost two years in advanced, so I couldn't imagine waiting another year. Ended up getting 50% off the venue for it

No major problems with it so far! Two couples in my family who have kids are opting to have one go and one stay home (usually the spouse that isn't related to me) because the kids have school the next day, so that's been the only "issue" I've seen.

Otherwise, my entire dad's side of the family rented a massive house and they're all partying up Saturday-Monday (our wedding is in NH/ME 3.5 hours from where we all live in MA).

We picked a Sunday wedding on purpose! It was more afforadable plus because we wanted Labor Day weekend it saved a lot of our guests from having to take off from work and gave plenty of travel time for OOT guests! Also with having Monday off people will be just as likely to stay and party as they would on a Saturday! Our family doesn't mind at all!

Mine is Sunday in October next year! Some venues offer a better price for Sunday's. My family was ok with it except school is still in session that time so we are ending the wedding at 8pm. I did have a best friend complain that she would have to travel on a Sunday but I understood if she isn't going to make it.

I don't see anything wrong with a Sunday wedding but it just wasn't/isn't my cup of tea!

We're doing a Sunday of a holiday weekend. We've had people say they may already plans that weekend but we're okay with that. Saves us a bunch of money to be on a Sunday so it's worth it to us

Another Sunday wedding here! Typically people warn you that you should expect a Sunday wedding reception to wrap up early, like 9 or 9:30. They also will tell you to expect more declines. I spoke to some family members and so far the response to the Sunday time has been, "Well I would have had to take off Friday to travel if it were on a Saturday, it's no more difficult to take off the Monday after instead."

Only one family member was upset, but she's coming anyway. Everyone else would have to miss work either way and the only thing that changes is if they miss work on Friday or Monday... so they don't mind.

Also if it was a Saturday wedding that family member would miss rehersal and her son has never been a ring bearer before.
