Destination wedding lodging

While I get the desire for privacy you may be able to work with the resort to put your guests on a different side of the resort from you and your FS. Would you still want meals together and maybe some time together at different activities? That might be difficult to plan when you also have to add travel time, especially if you all do something that might require a shower or changing outfits before dinner. Just my opinion, but I would feel like my family member didn't really want me there if they asked me to stay in a different resort. I'm sure you can ask for time alone and let them do something without the two of you.

I wouldn’t expect my family to travel for a destination wedding then dictate where they can stay. I would tell them the options and let them choose.

I had a destination wedding and we had everyone stay where we did and it was a blast. Most people will leave after the wedding or with a day or so. If you and your husband will be staying to honeymoon there you should be fine. I would explain to immediate family that you would like those days to yourself. I would not hesitate to be direct on that with them. Good luck

I would stay at the hotel the wedding was at, especially since I was already planning to travel so far. I suggest moving hotels after the wedding if you guys want privacy. I also assume guests won't stay too many days after your wedding? So they won't be there the whole time. We stayed at our blocked hotel through Sunday late morning and saw guests but they all left after that day.

Iiiii.....don’t think you can. If you don’t want people on your honeymoon, the best course of action is to not invite them to your honeymoon destination. Once you have , I think that ship has sailed. I always try to stay at the hotel where the wedding is, and would honestly be a bit offended if I was asked not to — and worth noting that I (and most people, I’d think) would be fairly conscious of the bride & groom’s time as newlyweds and definitely take efforts to give them space. A simple mentioning of wanting some privacy, and I think most people could share resort space with no issue. I don’t think the “we want you to travel to celebrate with us....near us...at the resort down the street” is a message many people would take kindly to.

I don’t think privacy is going to be as big of an issue as you think. Remember, it is your guests vacation too and they probably will also want some private time after the wedding festivities. Also, being that it is a resort, there is a lot of room and places to go which would help you from running into people. You can also just ask for some privacy the day after the wedding. But you shouldn’t ban them from your resort and should spend a little time with your guests during your honeymoon time, since they did travel there for you.
