We have 2 kids and either my mom or his mom will be keeping them the night of the wedding. We were just gonna go back home lol. We're having a Friday wedding and won't be leaving for our honeymoon until Sunday or Monday (not official on what we're doing yet). My mom offered yesterday to get us a hotel for our wedding night. She's been married twice and both times just went home afterwards and she says she wants me to have the experience of not going straight home. It wasn't a big deal for me but she really wants to do it for us.


What are you doing (or what did you do) on your wedding night? Going back home? Hotel? Leaving immediately for your honeymoon?

    We have three kids. We don’t leave for honeymoon until Monday. But, we’re just going home and then gathering at my sisters house the next morning to do brunch with our out of town guests.

    We went back to our home. My MOH's and their husbands were staying at the house with us. We went back, ate, talked, had fun then crashed.

    We're staying at a hotel. Our wedding will be 2.5hrs from where we live so going home is not an option. We're leaving for our honeymoon the next afternoon.
    Our kids will be staying with family while we're gone.

    Even if you don't set up a block, you should still get that hotel room for you and FH Smiley smile

    We're thinking of getting an air bnb for me to get ready at the morning of and staying there overnight. Now I'm thinking I'll offer that to the wedding party (since it will be close to the venue) and FH and I will look for a hotel for a night or two. We're not doing our honeymoon until a few months later, so it might be nice to have some winding down time to ourselves instead of going straight home.

    We’re planning to stay in a hotel, I think we are going to stay with many of our out of town guest. Then go home before we leave for the honeymoon.

    Our wedding was early and over early afternoon. We went home took a nap then went to a hockey game that night. We stayed in our little apartment that night and ate wedding cake in bed for breakfast the next morning. It was perfect for us.

    Nothing wrong with going home to be with you guys' kids! I feel like if we leave for our honeymoon Sunday we need to spend as much time with our kids before we go! I've never been away from my 8 year old daughter more than overnight and never without my 1 year old!

    We're staying in a hotel the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding. Our wedding is a Saturday, then Sunday we will head home (getting married an hour from our house) and finish packing to leave for the honeymoon Monday morning! I'm so happy I'm not going home on the wedding night!

    That sounds super sweet and perfect! If I had an early wedding I could see us doing something similar

    Sounds good! If I was more than 30 minutes away from home I'd get a room without a question

    If I was in your wedding party I'd be happy you offered and think it'll be fun!! If we weren't doing our honeymoon right after I'd for sure get a hotel for the whole weekend to get some alone time in
