What are your thoughts on a Sunday wedding?

About to select our venue and the price difference between Saturday and Sunday is significant.

Also, this is for a destination wedding… if it matters.

I think it’s fine for a destination wedding! Most people are taking the next day anyway

Destination wedding here as well! We’re getting married on a Tuesday, not because it was cheaper but because it was only of the 4 days the Venue had available (booked 14 months in advance and all the available days were random).

The majority of our guests are traveling far so they will make a vacation out of it and will be taking a full week. Don’t worry about a Sunday wedding 😊

Why not Friday? On Sunday you are either making people take PTO the next day or leave early to get sleep for work the next day.

Edit: just saw you said destination. How far would guests be traveling?

Ah then yeah I’d say doesn’t matter whether it’s Sunday or Friday. Tbh if I were one of your guests I’d be taking a whole week lol.

For destination in spain when many are coming from the US i think it’s fine. typically i don’t love it but nobody is getting to spain without missing a few days of work anyway, so i say go for it

If it's destination for most, I don't think Sunday vs Saturday would matter. I have seen destination weddings on a Tuesday/Wednesday. Sunday may work better as guest may choose Friday night or Saturday to travel in. Also not sure if you have pre- and post- wedding events.

We want to host a welcome dinner for our guests. So Saturday night could work for that, then Sunday wedding. Next day brunch might be off though given that it is a Monday….

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
