Sunday, sunday.

FI and I are toying with the idea of an 8/19/2012 wedding. Our anniversary is 8/19, and our lucky number is 3, and this date would fall on our 3rd anniversary.

The only problem is it would be on a Sunday. What do you think?

We got married on a Sunday, and we loved it!  We saved a lot of money on vendors (don't be afraid to ask for a Sunday discount).  The only drawback was some people didn't want to miss/be late for Monday, so they just left a little early.

We want a brunch reception, so hopefully that won't be a problem. But we'll see. I'm still rather unsure about it.

An earlier reception would be the perfect solution.

Your date would have so much meaning to you and wouldn't be too inconvenient for your guests.

I say go for it : )

Sunday brunch is perfect! Go for it!

Sunday evening you would definitely lose people that have to work the next day, but a Sunday brunch wedding? I love that idea, who doesn't like brunch!!!

I'm having a Sunday wedding and have been to a few. I don't see the big problem with it. I changed the reception hours from 6-11 to 5-10pm just because I didn't want to have it too late.

My FI and I are getting married on a Sunday... It's hard for out-of-towners, but we didn't have too many that it really affected our lists too much...

Good Luck!

If you have a brunch or early evening reception it's fine.  DH and I just went to a Sunday wedding that ended before 8:00.  That was perfect timing for us.

It should be fine.  I've been to Sunday weddings and things just wrapped up early rather than late like a Saturday wedding.  If that's what you want then go for it.

We're doing a Sunday wedding with the reception from 5-10pm.  Since most of our guests are OOT, it's a little iffy on who will actually come.  But, we save d a ton of money by doing a Sunday.

Our date is on a Sunday, and will be our 2nd anniversary.  We have a lot of family  and close friends that will be coming from out of town, they all plan to take Monday off as a travel day.  Our ceremony will occur at 5:30pm and the reception will go until 10:00 pm.

Everyone who lives out of state received a "Save the Date" so they could plan ahead and everyone who received them is planning on being here.

So go for it, it's a significant date for you and will have special meaning.

I think it sounds like a fantastic idea and something that will stand out!

I really like the idea of doing a brunch reception on a Sunday, but I have a couple of comments about the logistics (which you might not care about/might not be relevant to you anyway):

- If you will have a lot of OOT guests, this might not be such a good idea. Having to be there early might be hard for people who have to drive several hours.
- The earlier you have your wedding, the more rushed you will be getting ready, which means more stress.

I guess I belong to the camp of people who believe that your wedding date will be special on it's own, whether it had any prior significance or not.

I'm incredibly skeptical. First of all, my MOH is a Mormon so I'm not sure she would even be able to be there because of her religious beliefs. However, something about getting married on 8/18 seems slightly cop-out.

MissIntentional

i wish we would have went with a sunday brunch reception. that was what i originally wanted but the venue we chose didn't do brunch. i say go for it!

We're doing an afternoon reception (although ours will be on a Thursday since our room rate was drastically lower than weekends).

One of the nice things about doing an afternoon event is you don't have to feel obligated to host a full bar, which might ease your budget a bit as well.  We are planning to host champagne and soft drinks only (FI and I don't drink and neither will about 1/3 of our guests).

We're also getting married on a Sunday.  We saved a ton of money.  Our ceremony will start at 4:00 pm and reception will be over at 10:00 pm.  Those who have to work the next day can leave early if they need to.  I also like having it on a Sunday becuase it will allow me to prepare all my bouquets and centerpieces on Saturday.

We're having a Sunday wedding.
Ceremony starts at 4 and the reception is from 5:30 - 9:30.
95% of our guests are OOTers so they'd have to take the Friday off for a Sat wedding so they're just talking that Monday off instead.  It didn't effect our #s at all!  Plus you really do get better deals doing a wedding on a Sunday or any day other week for that matter besides the standard Sat wedding day.

I am doing a sunday three to eight... it gives time for ppl to get out of church... and time for ppl to get home for bed.. for the out of towners... they would have had to take off friday most likely anyways.   i have saved SO much money... on my cake food venue and my dj its fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! I was also not fighting for spots! I see it as a win win

Heath11

We are planning a Sunday wedding and reception, too. Love the idea of saving money! However... what about getting your hair done on a Sunday?  Salons aren't open.  Other than doing your own hair... which scares me.  Another other solutions?
