Staying in hotel vs. staying at home w guests on wedding night

We just bought a house 2 months ago and have been living together for about 2.5 years. I am conflicted whether or not to rent a hotel/house to stay in on our wedding night. We will have my FH 2 groomsman and their s/o staying at our house, as they live out of state.

They are are only staying for the day after the wedding and possibly one more night, and my FH is excited to see them, so I’m not sure if we should take advantage of them being here and stay at home and have a nice little party kinda thing or have a traditional wedding night and book a hotel. I am staying in a hotel with my Bridesmaids the night before and FH is staying home at our house with his groomsmen.

On one hand we only have one wedding night, and I know there will be no baby dancing going on with guests in the house lol!!! On the other hand it’s like wellll we’ve already lived together for years and we’re probably going to be exhausted afterwards anyway.

what would you guys do??

I would get a hotel for the night so you can have some alone time and some peace.

I would get a hotel for the wedding night. For nothing else then if people are in my home I'm going to feel like I need to entertain them, and that's not happening on wedding night LOL!

Definitely hotel. I’ve heard you’re so exhausted and you’ll want a quiet place to just relax and pass out and not have to worry about talking to or entertaining people more.

We are staying in the hotel we blocked at, it just seems more celebratory than staying at home.

I recommend staying in a hotel just the two of you. No matter how long you've lived together, getting married is still special and you will only have one wedding night together. It doesn't matter if all you do is crash on the bed from exhaustion - it is your special time together as your first night as husband and wife. You may regret not setting that time aside. But I will tell you after being married twice - each time we were exhausted but still enjoyed that quiet time together just the two of us after a busy day.

I would get away for the night.. if we were leaving so early the next morning we would go stay in a hotel! Its a nice way to make those memories, even if "baby dancing" isnt going on lol! Because you will always pass that hotel and say "awe that where we stayed on our wedding night"
If you dont care about that... then stay home! lol

Hotel 100%
You do not want to be entertaining house guests on your wedding night.

My middle daughter got married on 7/14 and let us and my extended family use her house both the night before and night of the wedding. She stayed at the hotel with her BM's the night before and I think he stayed at his sister's house. They both stayed at the hotel the night of. Yes you will be exhausted but it is your one and only wedding night and I wouldn't want to share that with anyone but my SO! You can see you friends the next day and maybe meet up with them for a late breakfast or lunch before they head out if you're up to it.
