Sunday Wedding - Pros & Cons

I just booked my wedding it’s a Sunday on mother’s day next year. It was the only date / day that worked out. Ceremony starting at 3:30 and reception from 4-9. The price per person was cheaper and the venue allowed me to cut the minimum guest amount from 100 to 65 . I found a hotel 10 minutes away so I agree with who ever said “if they want to be at my wedding they will be there”

I am having a Sunday wedding that will syart at 5pm. However, it is veteran's day wknd, so many people will have that Monday off. I get the feel of a Saturday wedding at a cheaper rate

I don't have any experience with Sunday weddings, but if someone invited me to a brunch or lunch time wedding on a Sunday, I would absolutely love it. There would definitely be a different vibe from a Friday or Saturday evening wedding, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Especially if you guys are more laid back. This is one of those times where you just have to know your crowd. Plus you'll get much better pricing from all of your vendors for a Sunday! I would say that timing can be tricky as you want to make sure that you don't have it too early since some people have church, but not too late.

I would go to a Sunday wedding and have been to one before... they had ceremony at 3 and dinner at 5 then dancing followed... I was in the wedding and right out of college with nobody to take care of so I just took the next day off wok and stayed until the end (midnight).... I do know the older relatives left after dinner and the more middle aged stayed until 9 or so.... no kids were invited and it was a smaller wedding (60 guests). Now with two kids if would be harder to stay late but we wouldn’t let the day stop us from going but wouldn’t be able to stay out as late since our timeoff gets used up in the summer on the kiddos...

Make it a holiday weekend. When people off Monday if you love the place. But I think whatever date people that want to be there on your special day will make it.

Mine is Sunday starting at 2:30 and reception ending at 8 pm

View Quoted Comment Wow how ungrateful are you. Out of all the comments I have read I'm pretty sure they were flag you declined there invitee...

Having gone to a few Sunday weddings (both local and destination) and planning for a Sunday celebration myself, I'm definitely not against it. I plan on giving my guests as much heads up as possible, and being ok with the fact that not everyone will/can stay til the end.

I found the destination Sundays to be easier, as I was traveling / on vacation, and not working Monday. The place I'm going with is a local resort and guests will have the option of staying onsite if they would like to party all night.

So really, a win-win all around.
