Where to spend the wedding night???

I vote for the hotel

But if you are indeed going with the campfire, make sure your photographer knows that he needs to stick around for it.

Hotel! Camping is fun and it's hard to leave the party, but keep in mind that you might want your privacy that evening. Tent walls are thin and trailers rock. I'm just sayin... ;-)

I think that you should decide together. Both have it's ups and downs. Some things to remember about having an all night party is that you won't get your privacy as newlyweds and you would have to ask your photographer to stay longer which could cost a lot more in the long run. If I had to make the decision I would chose to stay in a hotel. I would think you might want some privacy for the romantic part of your wedding. Like the girl said, thin walls might not be a good idea haha! Good luck!

If your going on a honeymoon and are going to be staying in nice places there then I wuld camp and enjoy the precious time with your guests as you are going to have plenty of time in a room in the coming week. Unless of course you are wearing white and deserve to be (... ;o) if you get my drift) In that case you DEF. want the alone time.... ;o) I am wearing a white dress but have been living with my FH for 2 years so I'm not kidding anyone! ;o)

I would totally camp at the site and keep the party going with your guests. Check out the book Offbeat Bride by Ariel Meadow Stallings, she also has a blog by the same name, she had a similar opportunity with her wedding reception site. I wish I had thought of doing something like this when we were first planning our wedding reception, it sounds so relaxed and fun.

I vote for the hotel too! I HAVE to shower everyday..lol, don't get me wrong, I still like camping. But, I would perfer the hotel for my wedding night, there are still many days ahead for camping!

Sorry, I forgot to ask if you think you'll be up to keep entertaining guests after the party shuts down, It IS a long day after all! Iknow our party will go until we kick everyone out (sometimes these parties go till 5 am!!) So..I happy we live close to town and can spnd the night in our own bed...lol!!

We both would like to stay until the party is done, or we're ready to call it a night. With our hall we have to stop serving booze at 1 or 2, which is when we planned on leaving. But once we stop serving booze though I know the party will move outside to the campsite. I can only imagine how tired I will be by that point, but I don't think he realizes how much it takes out of you.

I definitely vote for hotel...but that doesn't mean you have to leave when the party moves to the campsites. I'm a camper too...I absolutely LOVE it, and would probably have a hard time with this decision too. But, I have a feeling, once the party is over, and everyone crawls back to wherever they're sleeping, you'll be wishing you had a nice hot bath and a comfy, dry bed to cuddle up to your new husband in. I say book the hotel room and play it by ear! Head to the hotel when the two of you are ready to go. Just do everyone a favor and make sure you have a sober someone to drive the 1/2 hr, hell, it's your wedding, rent a limo!

Why not maybe have the "after party" at the campsite with the fire and all, and than find a place maybe a few miles down the road, so that way you don't have to go very far afterwards. I know me and my husband went to see one of my fav. local bands play at a bar and than we went back to the hotel where all of the out of state guests were staying. no one knew we were there intill we all went to breakfast the next morning
