Sunday weddings

Ours is on a Sunday. Ceremony is at 2, reception is starting around 3. We figure it will end around 6ish, which has plenty of time for food, dancing, etc. That gives many people time to drive (or fly) home, and even leave early if they need to without missing everything.

We are having ours on Sunday (we can't get married on Saturday for religious reasons). We are doing an early afternoon wedding so people have time to go to church and our reception will end at 6. We are going out to a bar afterwards and inviting any guests that would like to join us to continue the celebration.

I am getting married on a Sunday and decided to do a brunch reception.

We did a Sunday brunch wedding the day before Memorial Day. I knew nap times would be a thing for my young niece/nephews, and since it was a Jewish wedding Saturday wasn't an option. By doing earlier folks who wanted/needed to be somewhere had time for travel. Those who stayed in town were invited to a casual open house later that night.

The Sunday weddings I have been too, my FH and I have taken off from work that Monday. Most of the younger crowd stayed out and partied till 2am, and those that had to work or the older crowd left earlier (around 8-9pm). I think you are good with whatever time you decide and really depends on your crowd!

We did the Sunday before Columbus Day and it was fine. Most stayed until the end, and a good number came to an after party, I think only one left that night because of work (a few others left early, but due to other circumstances). That said, our wedding was semi-destination since our family is scattered across the country so everyone needed to travel, and before booking the date I knew that many of our friends get Columbus Day off so most were ok, so the incentive was to spend the night.

I did 3-9 on a Sunday. It was fine. If people needed to leave earlier, they did. No one left before 7:30. Some close friends/family took off the Monday after. We had quite a lot of OOT guests so they didn't have to be at work the next day anyway. It worked out fine.

Our wedding was this past Sunday and went until 10. Most people stayed the entire time and had a great time! Ours was semi-destination and we still had 65 people there. If people want to come to your wedding they will, no matter if it's a Saturday or not. A lot of people on here are anti-any day but Saturday weddings, but I found that it wasn't a big deal at all. If anything that meant that everyone was able to show up to the rehearsal dinner too because it was on Saturday night. We saved thousands of dollars between venue and catering by choosing Sunday. Well worth it.

We are doing a Sunday wedding. We are just having ending it earlier than we definitely would if it were on a Friday/Saturday night. Ceremony at 4:30 and the reception is over at 9:30.

Thank you all! I didn't think it was a big deal until I read some posts on here. I think our timeline will work for us!

We're doing a Sunday wedding too until 11 because our venue had every Saturday booked in 2018 and we didn't want to wait until 2019. But both sides of our families are OOT and majority of friends as well.
