:) This is tough..I dont know if you remember, but I was back and forth between Friday night (people have work Friday day and would have to rush to get there)..Saturday day (I didnt want my wedding to be rushed) and Sunday night (people have work next day). It was VERY tough..and if you recall one of the LIWERS told me I will never be able to please everyone, and boy were they right! everyone ALWAYS has a comment..
we went with memorial day Sunday night! This way people have Fri and Saturday to prepare HA and Monday to recover! I mean then I heard that people go away, so you cant please everyone..but im satisifed!
I tried to suite everyone..I couldnt..so i made the majortiy happy without rushing my wedding (i felt sat day would feel rushed IMO).
Everyone has a diff opinion of whats best! so go with what you think!
i just went to my friends Sun wedding.. her church was at 2 pm and Reception was at 6... it was a great wedding and nobody left until aboit 11:30ish when the cake was over n she was handing out the favors.. either of the days will be fine youll have a great wedding
^ITA

I chose sunday for a few reasons, to me it was ridiculous to pay 20-40$ more pp just for sat, so that leaves fri and sun. Right before it was time to decide I attended two weddings one friday and one sunday ( i wasn't personally working at the time) but I noticed that the wedding held on friday, i imagine due to work people were not as dressed up or relaxed as they were on sunday, on sunday people looked is if they had taken more time to get ready, a lot of girls had their hair curled or done nicely, people just looked overall neater and more relaxed, and thats when i realized a lot of people rush home on friday put on a dress touch up their makeup and go, where as sunday you have all day to get ready. So I really liked the idea of sunday after that. Also while its true many people have work in the morning ending at 11:30 is not that late, and many people like the excuse to take a day off I've found. In my case i've found most of my close freinds and family will be taking off and the others will come for as long as they can and thats fine because I probably wont miss them if they leave an hour early, everyone important to me has not expressed any issues and has welcomed an excuse to take off!
This is definitely why I decided on a Sunday wedding as well. I also agree that if anyone is going to not show bc they have work the next day they are probably not that close to you anyway and it will not make a big difference - My dad already has said he is going to take off 2 days before the wedding and then i think the 2 days after and then take off when we are going to be flying back into NY after our honeymoon to get us at the airport hahaha

Well, I must be the only pain in the butt who's doing a Thursday wedding! I honestly just tell everyone (including my FH's MOTHER) that we are paying for the wedding ourselves and if you want to be there... then you'll just have a 3 day weekend to enjoy. It's also in the middle of the summer (July) at night so it's vacation time and traffic should be at a minimum.
Either way.. people are going to take the next day off to recover and only the people that want to be there will be there. So, just enjoy yourself and have a Sunday wedding if that's what you want!

we are doing a sun as well - sat is overpriced, fri is annoying for ppl to have to drive in after work, and sun we dont end THAT late that its really even an issue! honestly you really cant please every1 so you should do w/e YOU and FH want :P

So why did I call CB yesterday to ask about the difference in price from Friday to Sunday. The dam 2012 prices are in effect as of 2 weeks ago. They went from an August Friday night price of $80pp to $87pp. In May, it's more and the memorial day Sunday is at $95pp![]()

im having my wedding on a sunday. i think its very traditional and i like it better than a friday night thats my opinion plus your more likely to have more people at your ceremony on a sunday then on a friday when most are still stuck at work. :)
