Buddymooning! Anyone doing it?

I've heard of this last year, and no I don't like it; very weird to me.

We were going to do it.....but then our friends broke up so....

I wouldn’t have done this, but to each their own. H and I wanted our honeymoon to be 100% on our schedule and all about the two of us. We can go on vacation with our friends and with our kids/their kids whenever.

I've heard of it but would not be a fan personally. If you and FH are both good friends with the other couple though, it sounds like it could be really fun. Are you booking everything together, like excursions and meals and flights, or just staying at the same hotel?

I would not want to do this. We've talked about doing trips with friends but our honeymoon is separate. FH and I haven't traveled much just us and we're very excited! There's always the potential for drama or lack of space from other people. I like to do my own thing and not be stuck to other people's agendas.

I have not heard of this, but it makes sense, given that I have heard of couples making friends with other couples of their honeymoon and spending time together during and after the trip. So why not have it be with people you already know you like?

Personally, I would not be down for this. I want my honeymoon to be about me and my husband only. It changes the dynamic to add in friends. Do we get every meal together? Are we meeting at the pool a certain time, even though you'd rather go to the beach? It complicates the situation and limits you.

Eh, whatever floats your boat I guess, but my favorite part of our honeymoon was being able to do whatever the hell we wanted. I suppose you could still do that on this "buddymoon" but for us the honeymoon was 100% about us, and I didn't want to share even a second of it with another couple.

But if you're down for it, that's cool.

Never heard of that before and would never consider it. This will most likely be our only vacation together without children, our honeymoon will be just the two of us.

View Quoted Comment Lol why do you think it's wierd??

View Quoted Comment Oh Shauna I definitely understand your situation and reasoning!!

I feel like I would have been very uncomfortable to have friends with me on my honeymoon. That was an intimate period of time for just my new husband and myself and I think I would feel SO WEIRD if my friends were with us. But hey, if it's something that you guys are comfortable with and don't feel weird about, then that's great and I hope that you have such a blast making memories!

ETA: I suck at spelling.

My FH and I are really partiers so adding our Couplefriend doesn't take away from anything we would have done if alone.

For us this isn't a romantic honeymoon, more of a turn up good time type of honeymoon so doing this as a group magnifies the amount of fun we will have.

But I completely understand why you all wouldn't want to do it. You and FH/W's honeymoon is a time for the two of you ! 🤗

I honestly would not be opposed to this, as long as I am getting some free time with FH during the buddymoon! We travel a lot both alone & with our core group of friends, I enjoy both types of vacations!

View Quoted Comment I 100 percent agree it would be weird to invite a random bunch of friends. But we just think it'll be so cool since they will be newlyweds as well.

Thank you ! Can't wait!

View Quoted Comment Yesss! And we definitely will have our alone time separate! 😁

A little different but when we minimooned in Chicago, we met up with a couple of friends on different nights--one of my BMs' then-boyfriend was living there, so she was visiting him, and it was so fun to see them a few days post-wedding and share a meal. we also saw pals who live in the area who hadn't been at the wedding. it was nice! i say if you're down for buddymooning go for it! i'd also make sure you schedule some one on one time during the trip with your new spouse though, because it's also super lovely to have alone time right after your big day.

View Quoted Comment When we went away after our wedding we wanted nothing more than to be alone to enjoy our time together. As much as I love some of my friends I would not want to have to schedule time on my honeymoon to get together. It would get in the way of sex and lovin’ time with my new husband. Friends on vacation- sure, you take many in your lifetime. Friends on honeymoon- no way, you only get one.

So it's not a honeymoon.... it's a vacation with friends who also happen to be newly weds.

the point of a honeymoon is to be alone with your new spouse without mom, dad, friends, kids joining in.

If this is what you want then by all means enjoy, but the last thing I wanted on my honeymoon was even bothering to think about other people. I stress on trips, making sure to tell people where we're going, at what time, and when we'll meet back up, and thinking things like "oh we need to hurry and finish lunch because we said we'd meet Mr & Mrs Blah at 2pm" instead of "wow this is a great people watching spot, let's stay here and order a few more drinks/apps/food"

To me it doesn't sound enjoyable at all.

Have you vacationed with these people before? What if it sucks? After spending a week in the DR with friends I will NEVER vacation with them again.

View Quoted Comment It doesn't seem like a honeymoon when others are there. I would feel like we would all have to do everything together all the time. Honeymoon and friend trips should be separate.

View Quoted Comment That's fine if that's what you feel a honeymoon has to be. There is no right or wrong honeymoon.

We want to join our honeymoons so that's what it is. It's not just a vacation


And everyone else were going on our honeymoon a month after were getting married
