    What are your thoughts of another married couple joining in on your honeymoon?

    How so?

    Are you going to the same resort? Planning on dinners together? Outings together?

    I mean, ideally a honeymoon should be for you and your DH.

    I think if you're doing a traveling honeymoon and might meet up with them at one local for a meal or outing, that's fine. But sharing your whole honeymoon with another couple does seem a bit odd.

    I'm not excited about that thought at all.

    You'll have the rest of your life to go on joint vacations with other couples - but it doesn't make sense to me to plan a honeymoon with another couple, personally.

    After the wedding, I wanted DH all to myself.  Every.stinkin'.moment! :)

    We are planning on going on a two week honeymoon. The first week we said that anyone that would like to join us are welcome, but we will be staying an extra week by ourselves. Surprisingly a lot of people said they are going to be going away with us after the wedding, about 19 people said they will be coming. I think it is a great way to celebrate with people you love.

    Never in a million years.

    I love our friends, but I have absolutely no desire to see them while on our honeymoon.

    I don't really like the idea of it. Going somewhere with another couple is a vacation, not a honeymoon...atleast that's how it seems to me.

    There is no chance in hell that we'd be traveling with another couple for our honeymoon.  

     

    Other vacations?  Sure.  Not this one.  :)

    Nooooooooooo wayyy.  It's a honeymoon, not a vacation with friends.  How else are you supposed to fit in all the newlywed sex?

    I have different views on it i guess.. I was asking because my fi brought it up at dinner with one of our couple friends! i LOVE the other couple but i have always pictured my honeymoon just being me & him. I also dont want to be the big bad bride who kills everyones dreams by saying no to them going.

    not a chance.  When would you SEE them?  Do you want to have to schedule ANYTHING around what someone other than your spouse wants to do something on your honeymoon?

    I would be ok with it, depending on the couple.  I don't think of group vacations as a must do everything together kind of thing.  I am comfortable with gonig off on my own (or with DH) and doing what we want.  I would also be comfortable telling people that we would rather do Y activity alone. 

    So I would think of it as meeting up with the other couple when I felt like it, and then doing our own thing when we felt like it.

    Hell no. They can schedule a beach week or something else later in the year, no one gets in on my honeymoon.

    It depends on the other couple. My friend rented a huge house for their honeymoon and they shared it with another honeymooning couple. She said the screams of passion were coming from both ends of the house but just made them want to outdo each other lol.

    I have talked to some couples who have already been on a honeymoon & they said they wished they would have had good couple friends that went with them. More the merrier they said... who knows. We havent booked ours yet so im not totally sure that the 4 of us are going together. I guess ill find out soon :)

    I love the idea, though I know my SO would definitely need some confirmation of plenty of alone time.

    @courtney48: It would not bother me at all. But I am also a lady that would rather have a super small wedding and fly all of our family to an exotic five star location all expenses paid for a week. Thats the way to spend $20,000!

    Never!! The honeymoon is meant for just the two of you. Celebrating with friends and family is the whole reason you have a reception. For our first Valentine's Day, my now FI had planned a trip to Savannah (where he proposed 2 years later), and I was so excited about how romantic it was going to be. He talked about it in front of our friends, another couple, and invited them along without discussing it with me first. I was so upset because I felt like here I'd been looking forward to a special trip for us, and he just thought of it as a vacation. Not only did they decline the offer, but they told my FI they didn't think it'd be right for them to intrude on our vacation. As upset as I was about that, I'd probably be 100 times more upset if he invited others on our honeymoon.

    What's funny is that while I wouldn't do it, multiple times on our honeymoon, we found ourselves saying "wouldn't it be great to come back here with so-and-so" or "You know who would love to see this?"  I still wouldn't have had another couple join us but we certainly look forward to traveling more with friends in the future.
