Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

I love Friday wedding, just make sure your start time is late evening like 7 ot 7:30. Sunday is oka, but you have to an early start time; unless its a Sunday before a Holiday.

I think if you do a Sunday wedding, it has to be an afternoon wedding.

if you change the time of year, you could possibly have a sat night. otherwise, i'd go for friday, but have a late start time.

I'm having a Friday night wedding but originally was not excited about it....i ALWAYS wanted a sat night wedding but was sooo not in the budget for where we are having our wedding......we'll I was against it untill I WENT to a Friday night wedding and thought it was awesome!!!!
It kicked off the weekend..we got a chance to recouperate and it made the weekend seem so much longer.

I have never been to a Sunday wedding. If that's your plan then I would say to opt for an earlier time. My parents just went to a Sun wedding and they said a lot of people went home early.

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

For a Friday, as long as you're ok with less people showing up to the ceremony then go for it because it allows people to enjoy their weekend...BUT if you can get a Sunday with no work/school the next day then that could work too. If I were a guest, I would rather go to a Friday wedding because I could enjoy myself and not have to worry or leave early because of work the next morning.

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

All of my sisters got married on Fridays and we are too - I love the fact that people can party and then still have their whole weekend. Just make sure key people are able to take a half day or full day off if traveling to be there.

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

We are having a Friday wedding. Ceremony at RH at 7:00pm. At first I was against it but now I'm excited and can't wait to party all night long!!!! My best friend was married on a Sunday afternoon and that was really nice all her close friends took off on Monday and we went to a bar afterwards to continue the party!! IMHO the people who are most important to you will be there no matter what day or time your wedding is!!!

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

I am having a sunday wedding. ceremony starts at 11:30am. the min. was less and it was wayyy cheaper. We are having an after party for anyone staying the night. I sent Save the Dates a year in advance and all the important people have planned to take off work on monday! We are also having a sat night welcome party at the hotel so we can party the night before :)

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

I'd rather a Friday; at least then people could stay late to enjoy & have all weekend to recover. Like a party to ring in the weekend

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

if it was my wedding i would do friday. just because i know most of my guests party hard and party late. sunday afternoon would be nice but not for my situation.

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

what about saturday afternoon?

but i would prefer friday out of the two. but you cant be upset if alot of people dont make it to the ceremony.

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

i think thats your choice, friday is good cause people have off on saturday, however most of the time the have work during the day. I chose sunday cause everyone is off on sundays and even though it ends late those close to me will be taking off monday. Its up too you really

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

I'm doing a Sunday twighlight. Starts at 5, ends at 11. also most of my friends and family are either teachers, in their own business or retired. So we're doing it when school is over in June.

If you want a late night and continue the party then go with Friday.

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

i'd say if u want a late night then do friday. our wedding didn't start until 8:30 & went 'till 2:30am! i know it sounds crazy, but almost EVERYONE stayed!(and we were all from suffolk & my wedding was out in nassau).. it was awesome! in fact a lot of the guests actually went to an afterparty that we set up at their hotel! sundays are nice too..but definetly for an earlier night unless u pick one over a holiday weekend so people have off on monday...

honestly, a wedding is a wedding - people are going to have fun no matter what. i wanted a late night-er so we went with friday

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

I prefer Friday to Sunday..I feel like once people get there they are ready to party and rest Saturday...with Sunday people have work on Monday and I feel like it's more low key...JMO

Re: friday vs. sunday wedding

I am having a sunday evening wedding. My decision was also based on the fact that the following day is a holiday and many people dont have to work the next day. If my date wasnt a holiday weekend then i still would have gone with a sunday wedding but would have probably done a twilight instead of a mornign or evening.
