Bride & Groom Lodging that have children

We had a hotel for two nights after the wedding so we had my mom watch our son the night of and brought him to the hotel the second night.

We have two kids together who will be 5 and 6 when we get married. I plan to have them stay with my mom on our wedding night because we’ll be out late and my mom and stepdad will retire much earlier. I’m sure they’ll still be up past bed time, but that way we don’t have to cut our night early and can stay and enjoy the evening.

I don’t have children, but I’m sure spending your wedding night alone would be much appreciated. Even if you aren’t intimate, you’re going to be exhausted and will probably enjoy the alone time.

I agree with this!

Our children are not going to be staying with us on our wedding night, and we are going on a mini-moon for 2 nights that they will not be joining us on. Our full week long honeymoon will be almost 2 months later, and they won't be going on that either, lol. My vote is to take this time just you and your FH, because lets be real...when will we ever get these alone time vacations again. It's hard to be away from the babies, but I think your FH will appreciate having your attention for these special moments.

Okay thanks ladies!

Agree with PPs, I just had my wedding this past Saturday and we have an almost 6 year old son together. We had him stay at his grandparents house on our wedding night. He had fun with them, and we had fun alone.

My future daughter will be staying with my mom for three nights after the wedding. My FH and I get almost zero alone time, so we are definitely taking advantage of the opportunity. I'd suggest that you have a family member take them. Have a relaxed night with your honey after a very long, exciting day. Enjoy your first few married hours focusing on you as a couple. Who knows? Maybe you'll get to sleep in the next morning 😂

I don’t have kids but I personally think your wedding night should be special for just you two. If you don’t have anyone to look after them then bring them with you but since you do I say take advantage of it and relax and enjoy your first night as husband and wife.

My FH and I have children too.. we will be spending the weekend with our bridal party. During the wedding with the kids.. the night of the wedding we will spend alone and we will have that weekend with the kids. Our honeymoon isn't until December. I think we can spare a few days away from the kids after the wedding. And the night of.

Thank you guys!! I really appreciate the opinions. I was thinking the same but didn't know if it would be bad of us to want the time alone. thank you all!

We will be getting married next April and at that time we’ll have a 9 year old, a two year old and a one year old. We’ll also have a room for two nights near the venue and I feel guilty anytime they stay away from me but my fiancé said it’s our wedding night and we should share that together and thankfully our parents are always happy to help. So take your night enjoy it and have fun or just relax!

Ours will be be 6 and 2. We’re staying in a beach house with all our friends and family. I’d have no problem sleeping in the room with us but we’ll see what the choose. They’ll be a bunch of kids in a bunk room upstairs. 🤷🏼‍♀️We leave the next day for a week and I want to soak up every second I can get.

View Quoted Comment There is no reason for you to feel guilty or bad for spending wedding night or your honeymoon with just your FH & away from your kiddos. Parents need alone time sometimes, to nurture their relationship & through it, be better partners & hence, even better parents for their kids. Never feel bad about this. It’s also nice for kids to spend few days with your family, since it sounds like the family is happy to take care of them while you’re away, which is great. So just enjoy your wedding night & your honeymoon with your hubby 🙂

How about air B and B.
