Friday so I can stay out all night and par-tay~ However I'd love to attend a Sunday brunch wedding, it sounds so friggin sophsiticated...
I'd say Sunday, but depending on the style of reception, a Friday might be better. (I.e. so one wouldn't have to go to work early on Monday after a late night).
If its just a ceremony, both are fine, but I prefer Friday.
If you're having a reception too, Friday is tons better...most people can enjoy the night fully knowing they don't have to end the night early for work the next day!
Sunday. For either I would have to take time off work. For Friday I would need to leave work way early so I can go home, get ready and get to the ceremony. At least with the Sunday ceremony i'm free to get ready at my owm pace and if i want to drink and stay out late, I could just take a few hours off monday morning.
Are you having a dinner/dance reception? If so then definitely a friday - that way I can party all night!
If it is a restaurant reception and most of your guests are local than I would say either is fine!
i say friday because i like to shorten the end of the week, rather than have to go back to work right after the most fun part of the weekend! plus if you are religious people might want to go to church on sunday (depending on time and stuff)
I think it totally depends on where your guests live. As an out of town guest, the difference between me taking off Friday to travel and Monday to travel is really not an issue. If I lived near you, I'd have to leave work early on Friday, but I wouldn't necessarily need to take off after a Sunday. I had a Sunday wedding, the reception ended around 10, and it was great.
Are you just having a ceremony or are you having a ceremony or reception? I think both days are great. I have been to a couple Sunday morning and Friday evening ceremony/receptions. The Sunday morning ones were smaller and the reception following was more like a champagne brunch-no dancing or anything like that. The Friday evening ones were more like your typical Saturday night bashes, just on a Friday. I really liked both, each gives off their own vibe.
I think for me it would depend on how far the wedding was from me. If it was close, Sunday or Friday but if it was a few hours drive Sunday would not work for me.
For me, the timing would matter a little. If it were an evening wedding, I would prefer Friday. If it's earlier in the day (presumably when I'd be at work on Friday), I'd say Sunday.
For some it is easier to cut the week short instead of missing a busy Monday. You might feel like you spend the whole week catching up if you missed the start of the week.
I would say Sunday. Friday feels like more of a party since you don't have to get up early the next day, but it's a lot harder to make it to a Friday wedding after working all day. Not everyone can take the afternoon/day off from work whenever they want to.
Definitely Friday. Sunday I need to rest before the upcomming week.
Friday since it's a kickoff to the weekend. A Sunday wedding will be very short and you may have tons of people decline unless the following Monday is a holiday, since not everyone is able to take off work. Although with the amount of time given when an invitation or save the date arrives, people will have plenty of opportunity to request the day off but it's up to their boss's discretion.
Depends on the timing but I am going to go with Friday. That way I don't have to worry about getting up early the next morning for work. Even if the reception ended early on Sunday...it would still be hard for me to get it together for Monday morning.
I voted Friday, but I think Sunday weddings are great too - I don't really have a problem with either!!
I'm so exhausted after a long work week that a Friday wedding wouldn't be very fun for me.. unless of course I had a nap first 
I say Friday, but I'm pretty biased considering my wedding/reception is going to be on a Friday night. I know that people will have to get off work a little early if they want to make the ceremony, but the dinner/dance is not going to be until later in the evening, and I won't be too upset if people don't make it to the ceremony and just come to the reception. I just think a Friday night would be better than a Sunday because people will be able to stay out late and won't have to worry about the start of the workweek like they would be on a Sunday.
I've been to both, and I definitely preferred the Friday wedding. The Sunday wedding was nice, but a lot of people left on the earlier side because they knew they had to get up early to go to work the next day. The downside of a Friday wedding is that people will have to take off work, but at least they know that they have the whole weekend ahead of them, so they won't be rushing to get home as soon as you cut the cake.
I"m biased since I'm having a Friday night wedding :) It was the only way we'd be able to use our dream venue, and most of our guests are local. The ceremony will be at 6:30 or 7, so hopefully late enough to allow people to get there if they have to work that day.
It depends on if you plan to have a reception. If no reception, Sunday. If reception, Friday.
I would prefer Sunday during the day. Between Friday evening and Sunday evening I really have no preference.
I voted Friday, but our wedding is on a Sunday. Do what works best overall... You'll NEVER be able to please everyone.
I voted Friday, assuming I was in-town and wouldn't have to take off work to travel. If I did have to travel, though, and this wasn't an immediate family member, I may have to miss it because of the day.
I think it depends what time of day the wedding is. A sunday brunch wedding would be great, but if it was evening I'd probably prefer a Friday.
i think it depends on if you have a lot of out of towners. since most my guests will be travelling for my wedding, i would have picked a sunday for my wedding if saturday wasn't an option
Depending on the time of your wedding and reception. A Sunday brunch themed wedding sounds fun.
I've done both and definitely vote for Friday. Keep in mind that some of your guests may have to take the day off work - but, for the wedding I just went to - no one 'really' minded. I much prefer it over a Sunday wedding and knowing work is looming the next day.
I went through the same dilemma and decided Friday is much better for an evening wedding. Our wedding is on a Friday.
