Thinking about a ceremony on a Sunday for less money. Did anyone else consider this?

    We are doing a Sunday since it’s our anniversary for dating and that date has significant meaning to us. If people want to be there they will be! do the day that works best for you!

    We're doing a Sunday wedding, not really to save money but because that date is my late grandmother's birthday and we want to honor her. Also we wanted an intimate wedding and are hoping the Sunday date will keep the numbers low.

    I thought of a Sunday and Friday wedding but my reasons for deciding it against it:

    Traffic and travel time in just the city alone during rush hour traffic is ridiculous.

    People are expected to take off of work or may not fully enjoy themselves due to work the next day.

    People go to Church on Sundays and typically use Sundays as a day of rest.

    My OOT guests are more unlikely to attend.

    Saturday provides a better option for rest and relaxation for traveling groups.

    Now, those were my thoughts. People will come to support you regardless, whenever and however you choose to do your day. Sunday weddings aren't unheard of. However, make sure that its what you want and not just because of costs and make sure you know your guests too.

    We’re planning a Sunday wedding as well. I’ll save about $1000 and I’ll get to add more space and a canopy that I originally thought I’d have to cut due to budget.

    We're doing a Sunday too for the same reason! Saved 25% off the venue and we're still planning to do a 4pm wedding as well! Our families have already said "no biggie - we'll just take the day off the next day!". I was worried about it - but it seems people are flexible and excited! I hope you have an amazing wedding day and would love to hear how the Sunday vibes end up! Smiley smile

    We are doing a Sunday late afternoon/evening! We're Jewish so we would have had to start pretty late if we wanted a Saturday and be married by a rabbi. But we chose the Sunday before Thanksgiving since we figure most people take that week off anyway! Plus we're getting married in South Florida so it gives all of our northerner guests a good excuse to escape the cold for the holiday Smiley smile

    My fiancé and I are considering a Sunday wedding. The venue that will be hosting our event offers Sunday discounts. With that being said, that would be more money that can be delegated to others details we will have.

    Want to add in that anyone who wants to be there will make it a priority to be there regardless the day and take pto for Monday if they don't want to have to work the next day.

    We are getting married on a Sunday. The date we wanted at the venue we wanted wasn't available so we thought about it and decided Sunday would work and its was cost effective. The people who really want to share our day with us will be there no matter what...people take days off for much less exciting things so we didnt think Sunday would be a big deal for the people who really want to be there.

    We 100% considered it, in fact the only dates we originally looked at were Sunday's even though we ended up having a Thursday wedding. Though there may be a couple of people who don't show if it's a Sunday, you won't really notice and in the end the people that really want to be there will be there.

    We also considered a Sunday at first, but our date change to a Saturday since the venue we chose price didn't change. But, before we found this venue we considered a Sunday because it was cheaper. We had the same thought, the money could go toward our honeymoon. Congratulations!!!

    We are doing a Sunday! Most of my family is in sales so Sunday is perfect. They can just go in late Monday or take it off. Plus no one will drink to much.

    We picked to plan a Sunday wedding. We chose it due to my teaching schedule as well as what season we wanted. We are getting married Memorial Day weekend so our guests will for the most part have that Monday off anyways. It saved us nearly $2000 so I would definitely recommend to look into it!

    My FH & I are only looking at Friday evenings! Saturday’s are overpriced, & Sunday’s we felt like didn’t make sense since the next day is Monday.

    I think it'd be nice if it were a Sunday wedding brunch like my sister did. I'd consider Sunday in the evening only if the next day was like Labor or Memorial Day.

    I’m getting married on a Sunday! It’s definitely cheaper. We originally didn’t do it for the discounts though. That was an added bonus! We started dating on August 30th and when we saw that it fell on a Sunday next year we knew we had to get married that day!

    Sunday morning here! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Saving severe thousands of dollars. Plus we can celebrate all weekend, and then wrap it up with the wedding and reception.

    We are having a Sunday ceremony/reception. You save money, but ours had everything to do with the date!😁

    We looked into it for sure! But we have too many people coming from out of state/across the country and even internationally for it to work out.
