Hello fellow bride to bes, I have been engaged for nearly a month now and...

Hi the most inportant people are the two of you and your families. If others choose not to come it's their loss. :)

Just go with what you both want! those that matter won't care what day it is :)

Some people will probs take the day off but I know work places are a bit tight with annual leave in December and its not as easy. So I guess you need to ask if the venue trumps evening guests attending. If you are still concerned then if it were me I would go for a different venue, as for me guests being able to come was more important. Speak with your evening guests and see if they'd have issues coming maybe? x

I'm getting married on a Tuesday. If people don't come then that's fine. What's important is the main family members are there and it's all about you two not anyone else!! Good luck ❤️

If you were originally thinking Friday then your guests would have been taking that off work anyway so it won't make much difference if they have to take a Monday off instead x

Plenty time to let people know so they can book a day off....

I'm going to a wedding on a Monday and have to travel nearly 3 hours for it with a 6 week old baby. If they are true friends and want to be there then they will. You have you're wedding you're way x

There will always be someone that doesn't show up on the day, people will make arrangements if they want to be there x

If people want to come they'll come and either go to work or book the day off. We got married on a Wednesday and we only had 2/3 people in the daytime say they couldn't make it due to work. If you give people plenty of notice they will make arrangements. If they want to be there they'll be there

if your originally planning friday then people would be taking time off anyway so whats the difference 🤔

We have friends getting married on a Sunday this month, all our friends are travelling the couple of hours down, and it suits some people better as they get a long weekend for booking monday off but cheaper accommodation. There is always going to be some people who can't attend but if you're nearest and dearest are there, that's all that matters.

I'm getting married on a Sunday and also worried about that, but if they want to share your day with you they'll make the effort to come and if needed take a day off work. Do what you want and don't worry about every one else! Happy planning! x

Im getting married on a sunday and all guests have booked the monday off work. They should have enough notice to be able to do this so dont worry.

If you were planning on having the wedding on a Friday, most people would have to take time off anyway, so they could take off the Monday instead. Do you have accommodation as part of your venue? Could you do an organised breakfast/brunch on the Monday to make the most of it?

Most will just take the Monday off work....the same as if you were doing it on the Friday!

If you're still worried tho, try and do the ceremony earlier so that the evening starts earlier!

At my venue the ceremony will be between 1&2 (I need to book it today! ) and the evening will start from 6:30/7 until midnight! If we moved it forward to 11/12am, the evening could start from 4:30 and I could finish it around 10:30!

So speak to your venue about the different options available :-)

I've been to a wedding on a Friday, we all took a day off work! If people want to come then they'll take the next day off work! I'm sure you'll give enough notice for guests too! I wouldn't let it put you off, if the venue is the one!

Most customer based places dont allow holidays in december which is something to consider.

If it's a christmassy wedding you want, why not go for a day in that quiet bit between Christmas and new year, that's what our friends did and it was fabulous x

I got married on a Tuesday and it was absolutely fine, so I'm sure people will be happy to attend a Sunday wedding where they only need 1 day off potentially :) xx

Me and my H2B are getting Married on a Tuesday in the summer as its so cheaper! If people really want to come to your big day im sure they can book a day off work. x

We preferred picking the Sunday over a Thursday or Friday. It meant that guests didn't have to take a day off work if they didn't want to or couldn't, whereas a weekday wedding forces them to. We didn't have anyone not come because it was a Sunday wedding and nobody left early to get back! xx

What about the weekend in between Xmas and New Year a lot of people are on holiday then anyway x

Good friends will do it. It's your day and they should put you first x

We had a Sunday wedding in December and made no difference to the turn out :) we got married on 20th December and it was a magical time of year to do it, only thing to check is that your hairdresser will come to you as salon will be closed. All other suppliers were easy to book and had availability with it being a Sunday. People often have to take a day or 2 off work now for a Friday or Thursday wedding as they are increasingly popular so they only have to take the Monday if they have to travel or intend on being hungover. It's a great way to see all the family at that time of year too. Go for it :) xxx

I got married on a Thursday and it wasnt an issue. All your close family and friends will make the effort. Our DJ was booked until 12 and he was still playing at 12.45, alot of people did leave 11.30ish but as we got married about an hour away from where i grew up all my family and friends were staying at the hotel so wasnt an issue. We had residents bar open after everyone left and i had friends that stayed up til 4am. Family and friends that want to be there will be there. Good luck and dont worry about anyone else. Enjoy your day as it goes so fast xx

Im having a sunday wedding. We spome to our guests before hand and isnt a problem

I got married on a Sunday in August, and it really wasn't a issue at all. All our family came and most people we invited to the evening do came. They just booked the Monday off. And those that didn't cane for a few hours. But they placed never seamed empty at all. I say go for it, if it's a your dream venue and you give people plenty of notice. It should be a problem x

I got married on a Sunday our ceremony was at 2pm - We didn't have anyone not come due to working the next day? If people want to come they would come regardless of the day! Do what makes you happy :)

If friends are true friends they'll come regardless of what day it is.

I had a my wedding on a Sunday and everyone came, some left a bit early as they had work but didn't affect the day at all x

I think one big mistake in wedding planning is coming to conclusions about what other people may or may not think...you'll end up talking yourself out of the wedding you truly want and the chances are no one will mind! If it's a daytime wedding on a Friday they'd have had to have taken the Friday off work so I'm sure taking the Monday off wouldn't be an issue :-)

I would go with what you want if people really want to be there on the evening they will make themselves available. They could always take a Monday off

I got married on a Wednesday. Granted we had to be out of our venue by 10.30 so it wasn't late anyway but if people want to be there they will make arrangements for the Monday.

IMHO anyone who will not take ONE day off work for your wedding with plenty of notice is no loss at your big day. I know from experience that it can cost a bit of time and money to attend a wedding and I also know that you don't mind doing it for the people who matter!

We're getting married on a Sunday - wasn't our first choice but we found the venue so the date effectively chose us - we sent Save the dates to let people know its a Sunday and if people want to come they will or they'll take the Monday off work... we've had a really positive response and initially I was worried about it, but if people want to be there, they will. People get married on all days now so don't worry! 😊😊 x

You could do it on a bank holiday weekend most people will be off

Whoever wants to be there,will be there regardless of day

Mines on a Sunday and should be fine as most people are free Sundays or have family things that they can always cancel work around if you tell them in advance to save the date X

Our wedding is a Sunday and we aren't worried about people not coming. If they love us enough they will be there regardless.

I got married on a Sunday. Everyone who wants to be there will be there regardless of what day of the week it is. If it's your dream venue, and that's the time of year you want, just go for it. The people who don't make the effort to celebrate your love just because it's a Sunday, and they may have work the next day (which they could book off given enough notice) - are they really the people you want celebrating with you? Xx

Thank you everyone for your help 😊

I got married 2 weeks ago on Sunday and everyone that we invited came, we had 100 to the day and 150 in the evening... a lot of my family live 100 miles away and they all travelled up and backs again on the day.... the people that want to be there will be there regardless of what day you marry... it's not worth stressing over if you love the venue xx

If people want to be part of your big day they would book holiday the next day x I'm getting married on a Thursday and people are booking time of work for me x

Why not do it? The only thing to consider is if you want a late bar and party, can you have one on a Sunday or will licencing laws be a problem. Please note I am not saying they will, I've been out of the industry a long time, but it's somehing to check and consider. Good luck x

My wedding is on a sunday, and everyone is happy to come and take time off the next day :)

I had the same concern but we booked anyway because that's the date we wanted. All of our day guests have said yes to coming and a lot of the evening guests loved a reason to book a Monday off! X

We married on a Sunday and EVERY guest we invited (around 90?) came! A few went home early (nans and grandads started leaving first at around 9.30-10pm-ish) but to be honest, most people were glad to have the following day off work. If you love the venue and they only have Sundays available, go for it. Just make sure you give your guests plenty of notice :)

I'm getting married on a Sunday. I think if you give people plenty of notice they will be able to book the Monday off there work. X

I worried so much about all this
So me and my partner have decided on a do at the local pub that has function room upstairs which actually a nightclub, we couldn't be happier the people who matter to u the most wil come

Your choice has to be either hoping guests will attend a Sun wedding so u get the venue u want or compromise on venue and have a fri wedding... good luck.
