Hey girls! I've always wanted to get married on a Saturday night and loved the date August 23, 2014. My fiance wants to change the date to Sunday night, Labor Day Weekend, August 31st after hearing we would be saving $10k by switching from Saturday night to Sunday night. Would you girls do it? Or pay the extra $ for your dream wedding on a Saturday night? Any good or bad opinions about getting married on a holiday weekend?
Re: Picking wedding date - Saturday vs. Sunday
If I had to work the next day, I'd attend the ceremony and leave right after dinner.
I'm with Stage. Unless it's a best friend or a sibling, I would probably decline a Sunday evening wedding. Sunday afternoon, I would attend. I just don't like being out late on a Sunday when I have to get up for work the next day.

I understand why people say stick to a Saturday but we spoke with the VIPs and relatives with school age kids and they all said that weekend was fine and if their kids missed a day of school because of it, then so be it. Our families also don't have any long standing Labor Day traditions that we would be asking them to miss, so that wasn't a concern.
The people we asked also said they rather travel when they already have a 3 day weekend than having to ask for that extra day, it gave them more time to do other things they want to do while they are here.
I would check with family and other VIPs, but to me saving 10k would be worth it.
