  I personally prefer Sunday showers... but that may be just me.
  I always have so much going on Saturdays, and showers take up a good chunk of the day.
  I agree with your mom about it being best before all the Easter holidays too.

  I prefer Sunday showers. I feel like they're more relaxed and I agree about being before the holidays. I don't think you'll have a problem with weather in early April. I would however be sure to offer a vegetarian option for an entree as many strick Greek Orthodox and Catholics do not eat meat during lent.

  I do prefer Sunday showers. However, I know with my own shower it will probably be on Saturday. The shower will take place in NJ and my friends and I live in DC. So it is easiest to have it on Saturday for traveling purposes. I don't want to have to make friends take off from work just for my shower. So I can see how some circumstances are better on Satuday.

  I have been to showers on both days. Sundays tend to be better since a lot of people have things going on Saturday's. I agree that it may be better to do it before Easter and Mother's Day though.

  I prefer Sunday even though my shower was on a Saturday. Mine was after Easter and a lot of people didn't come. I think it would be best to do it before.

  Mine was on a Saturday, but mine wasn't a traditional shower.  I didn't open gifts, we had a DJ and a Casino type theme.  There was roulette tables, blackjack tables and slot machines.  Everyone just drank, ate, gambled and danced.  I don't know if I have a preference on the day as much as the time of it, I like the noon to 4 type showers this way if it is on a Saturday, I have time to get stuff done before I go out for the night and if it is on a Sunday, it doesn't end too late and I can unwind.

  I prefer Sunday too, but it really isn't a big deal to go to a shower on a Saturday.  If I have to do that, I'll just make the most of Sunday  If you have good reasons to have it later, I wouldn't worry about it being a Saturday.  There's no such thing as a perfect day, and no matter what you'll have people who can't make it.

  I think either would work.  My wedding was July 17 and we had my shower early like you...April 8.  We chose a Saturday because I'm a teacher and Sundays are my prep days.
  
  I've been to showers on both Saturdays and Sundays.  If a lot of your guests are coming from out of town, I think it is more respectful to have them travel on a Saturday in my opinion. 
  
  Good luck. 
  
  P.S.  My shower was April 8 and the weather was beautiful (warm and sunny)!  Then again we had an amazing spring.
