Where are you staying on your wedding night?

Jennifer, on October 17, 2016 at 10:28 PM Posted in Honeymoon 0 92

FH and I were planning to come back to our house, which is about 20 min away from his parents house, where they will be hosting the after party. We leave for our honeymoon the next day, so I liked the idea of being able to go back home and not worry about getting our bags and my dress from the hotel. FH thinks it would be pointless to get a hotel in the same area that we live in when we could just go back to our own home. Other people have been telling me that we should go to a nice hotel to make our wedding night more romantic and special. I was told 'you have your whole life to go home, go somewhere special on your wedding night'.

What are your thoughts? Where are you staying on your wedding night?

    My mom was kind enough to rent a hotel for us the night of as a part of our wedding gift.

    I wasn't going to know about it, but I was gonna book another hotel and she had to tell me before I did!

    Our venue is in Florence and the hotel is not, but it's a nice hotel/casino that would be awesome.

    Well our only other options besides a hotel in my hometown (where we're getting married) is my parents' house. So I think we're going with the hotel haha. But if I were in your situation, I would probably go home.

    Our venue includes a bridal cabin onsite. I'll be there the night before and he'll join me on our wedding night.

    FMIL also thinks it's a waste. I think it's money we can't afford since we're going to be missing so much work as it is for the honeymoon, but FH wanted to be sweet and booked us a super nice hotel room with a walk out balcony and ocean view. So in love with him. <3

    Don't know yet. We might go home but the venue and my house is 35 mins apart. The hotel where our guests would stay at is 10 mins from the venue. But we want to do a breakfast at the hotel. So debating if we want to drive home after the wedding and drive back to the hotel the next morning, or just stay in the same area.

    I honestly just want to go home and don't care about going to a hotel. We leave for Jamaica a day or two after the wedding. Maybe I'll feel differently the closer it gets ...

    We get a complimentary suite for our wedding night even though we are getting married in the town we live in. There will be no way that we will be able to drive after our reception and after party.

    We are having a hotel wedding so it only makes sense to stay there. My sister works for the company and was able to get us an awesome deal on the pent house so we will be staying there for 2 nights!

    I'm torn on this as we won't be honeymooning immediately.

    Our after party will be at the casino hotel near our venue. I will be staying there the night before and FH will join me on the wedding night. We also will only be about 20 min away from home.
