Or on the Sunday after? Is it just so you know you're not pregnant before you begin them? I'm going on vacation, and would like to start them in like 4 or 5 days so I'm not on my period while I'm on vacation? Is there a consequence to this?

You can look it up online, as I did for you. I found this:
"Pills may be started in 3 ways:
• first day of next period (often preferred because no backup method is needed);
• first Sunday after menstrual bleeding begins;
• immediately, if pregnancy is ruled out (Quick Start)."
The article is on the "quick start" method so you may want to peruse the link below for further information.

Its partly pregnancy, but it more to do with keeping you body rhythm as close as possible to what it is pre pill. The less the cycle is mucked around the easier it will be to settle into the new cycle.
You can start them out of sequence but you might find you don't get periods when you should or you might get some spotting. Theres no real harm in doing it just one in a while.

I didn't start it on my period, OR on the sunday.
I started on a friday night...and I'm fine.
The only thing is, I finished my first pack and still haven't got my period yet, but from what I have researched that is normal until my body adjusts.
Ultimately ask your doctor, but it didn't harm me in any way.

I've been told the Sunday after your period ends, so it won't take long to get your cycle on track and so you don't have to use those stickers to make them the right start date.

MANY consequences. Some being more fun than others depending on what you like.
1. unplanned pregnancies.
2. hormones out of wack.
3. breakthrough bleeding.
Please go back and call/ask your doctor.

I dont think it really matters. I started mine the day that I got it and didn't start my peroid till two weeks later and i was fine. You do need to use backup protection because depending on the type that you have you may need to use it for up to 2 weeks.
