How many have ever accepted a wedding cake order for a Sunday?
For some reason I'm thinking it would be a little unusual, since some families go to church, etc.,
I have one coming up soon, but it's not needed until after I get back from church.
I got married on a Sunday. I forget why we picked that particular day, but I do know my caterer backed out on me a week before the event, because they "just realized" the wedding was on Sunday and they don't "do" Sundays! I don't know how I survived that little trauma, but I did. I did my own cake, so that part, at least, wasn't an issue.
About 1/3 of my orders, wedding or otherwise, are for Sundays.
Never thought about it...I don't charge extra for Sunday events, either. It's just the nature of the business to me.
I do a lot of Sunday weddings. Various reasons I hear for Sunday weddings are (1) costs for facilities are cheaper (2) the facility they can afford and/or wanted was booked for that Saturday, so they moved it one day.
We now live in a 24/7 environment, so it's not like when I was a kid (oh so many decades ago!) and the only businesses open on Sunday was the one drugstore in town for emergency prescriptions (and for those who can't remember a non 24/7 world, the local paper actually printed the name of which drugstore was open, in case you needed something. The stores were open on Sunday on a rotating basis).
Many places charge extra for delivery on Sunday, but in this environment, no one really gives a thought to buying something on Sunday.
I must add that I respect places like Hobby Lobby and Chick-Fil-A for being closed on Sunday so their employees can, (as HL posts on their door) "....enjoy Faith and Family".
I just did one on a Sunday two weeks ago for a lady at my church. It wasn't until 3:00 that afternoon. I was a little pressed for time because we couldn't set up until church was out at 1:00. I had over 100 royal icing flowers to put on the cake and 25 fondant bows. Guests started coming around 2:15 so I was decorating around people coming in and out of the room I was in. A little nerve racking!! ![]()
Some people do pick Sundays because its cheaper, my cousin got married on a Sunday but not in a church, however it was in the late afternoon during the summer.
I did exactly that when I got married. It was way cheaper and in the summer. And being that I wanted to be married in June, the location that we got married at was totally booked for every sat. in June (1 year out) , so we settled on Sunday.
I did a cake for my friends wedding that was on sunday. They chose sunday because in their religion saturday is the holy day.
