I am considering having ceremony on Sunday now (I actually always wanted to) and noticed that you are getting married on a Sunday. I was just curious to know how it's working for you. I know it's cheaper but was just wondering with so many people going to church, what's a good time (cause you know how our people are when church is over...ready to eat), when would you decorate, etc...

For myself and for any considering a wedding on a Sunday I would suggest a later in the day ceramony. Mine is at 3pm.
I can tell you that I have been more that happy with the savings that I have gotten by having a Sunday date (+/- 2G's savings on the ceramony site vs. a Sat!)
The photographer was available, the florist was available, the coordinator was available. The decorating can be done that saturday, but we are guaranteed 3 hours before the ceramony to decorate(enter coordinator and good friend)
I would suggest a Sunday date for anyone who is planning a wedding at the last minute (
WOW Ms Boston what a great idea! COngrats on your HUGE savings! I like to see people taking advantages of the opportunity to save money, and doing something unique in these days, which is to marry on God's Holy Day.

Awesome advice MsBoston!

Thanks MsBoston...Upon talking to catering mgr, I found out that Fri & Sun were both cheaper that Sat. I think my biggest concern is the wedding party attends different churches & here, most services don't let out til 1:30. The other concern was decorating church on Saturday having service & ceremony Sunday. Not everyone is respectful of you stuff. You have parents that allow their children to touch things that don't belong to them, etc. I know decorating can be done afterwards, but I didn't want anyone to feel rushed, especially when pictures have to be taken...As for the florist, that will be my best friend & Honorary Matron of Honor which will be a savings and I have two aunts (one my mom's sister & the other my father's)that cater that I plan to use, if I can find a site that will allow us to bring in own food (which would be a huge savings)...
Bumble, I agree with you and that's one of the reasons I wanted to have ceremony on Sunday...God's Holy Day & also because I wanted to make & decorate both the wedding & groom's cake & having that Sat free would give me some extra time to do it.

Thanks.
One thing I can say tra, is that you don't want to feel rushed having to get people out of the church(you know sister______will stay there till next sunday if she could) And you're right, some people won't respect your belongings if you left it set up for sunday service. I forgot to mention that I am not having the ceremony @church, I think that makes a big difference in making the choice.
Go girl with making your own wedding cake!
I remember having the hardest time finding a venue that allowed my own choice in caterers>that was a pain.
MsB, did you ever go to that spot and look for your shoes?
Not yet. But I just got back from visiting my girlfrind in MD and they had this crazy shoe place called bare feet...oooh weee, almost lost my mind. Really though, I'll have to go take a drive out there soon, because I don't have anything just yet :(
Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl, I forgot about that place!!!!! I have one that's about 10 minutes (if that) from my house. I really forgot all about them. I'm riding out there today! Thanks girl!
I KNOW right!!!I got sick from the sheer selection.
I'm gonna have to have my girlfriend ship me a pair that I passed over. I knew I was gonna regret not getting them. The were too cute, I was gonna wear them to a wedding next month.
You lucky Jersey girls~!
OK what is this place called and where in Jersey is it.
Cuz I still aint' got my shoes.
And lastly will I need blinders for when I go?

Here's a link to the place. Although there's a big selection online, I think there's a better selection in the store.
Bare Feet Shoes
They have locations in Pennsylvania, Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Georgia & Florida.
