We can't decide. We're on a mega-tight budget and almost can't justify spending the $$ on a nice hotel room when we will just go home the next morning to sort out gifts and pack for the honeymoon.
Our ceremony and reception site is about a 30 minute drive from our home.
Besides, home is just comfy, right?
What are you Bees doing?
I am getting a suite (two connected rooms) the night before with my ladies. It is going to be so much fun. A member of my House Party works at the hotel, so it's going to be totally cheap!
Edit: OOps..lol, you siad the night of...now that I have no idea about. Maybe the same hotel that the girls and I will be using.
We are staying at a hotel in the airport since we will be flying out first thing Sunday morning.
We're staying in a suite at our hotel. Top floor, awesome view of the city. I'm excited!
The night before I stayed at our apartment (he hadn't moved in yet) and he stayed at his apartment. The night of the wedding we stayed at a nearby hotel, then went home.
We live across the street from our venue, so we are definitely coming home after the wedding. There is also a hotel right across the street, but I do not think it is worth the money or hassle of having to check-in/out.
our venue is a hotel, so a suite the night of the wedding is included in our package. i'll probably stay there the night before too, and that's where the bridesmaids and i will be getting ready
We are stayed in our hotel room since our home was 1.5 hours away. If we headed home we would have had to bring the dog and my live-in FIL so it was our one night alone from everything. Definitely do not regret it!
we stayed in a hotel. it was nice. it's like your on vacation, you're away from reality, and you get to be in your own little world still. home just wouldn't give you that same effect.
Hotel! I'm going to be so wound up the night before, the day of, and after the wedding, I'm going to need that "away" space to hide in. Too much "stuff" all at once, even from well-meaning family and friends, and I just want to hide before I spaz out. So I informed my family that I was headed to a hotel the night before just to have one quiet night to get myself re-grounded before the insanity. And the night of? Oh heck yes. Again, unplug and destress time.
Night before at my parents and he stayed at a cabin in the stat park where the reception was being held. His brother had the cabin. Our wedding night we stayed at a B&b a few miles from our reception site.
Hotel, with all the craziness going on, we probably won't be moving until a few days after the wedding, so we really didn't have much of a choice.
We're not sure yet. I'm hoping we'll be leaving the next day on our honeymoon, so it just depends. If we have our own place then definitely at home, but if not we might stay in a cheapy hotel for the night if nobody springs for us.
The night before we're each staying at our parent's house.
For our wedding night - our reception is IN the hotel, so we'll just wander upstairs whenever we feel like it. ;)
I am staying with my ladies the night before at a hotel. Probably going to take some nyquil becaseu I'm going to be sooo excited!!!
We stayed at a hotel on our wedding night because we were leaving at the crack of dawn from the airport, which is about an hour drive from my parents' house where the wedding was near. We wanted to maximize how long we could sleep before catching our flight and not to have to worry about traffic, so we chose a hotel near the airport.
Home is definitely comfy (and cheap), and there is nothing wrong with staying there the night of the wedding. It is certainly a nice splurge to get a hotel room, but if money is tight then don't bother. You are going to have your whole honeymoon to relish sleeping in the same bed together in a fancy place!
we just booked our hotel room tonight! Woot! We're getting married at least 4 hours away from "home" so we kind of HAVE to have a hotel room.
Hotel! But, this is definitely not a splurge area for us. We have stayed in a lot of ridiculously nice hotels before, so the excitement factor is dulled somewhat, and we are going to be in the accommodations of a lifetime during our honeymoon, so neither of us could really justify a five star hotel the night of our wedding. Even if our flight ends up being in the evening the next day, though, we still don't want to just sleep at home. We do want it to feel at least somewhat different and exciting, and I'm willing to bet that going home would present a whirlwind of a mess after all the lead-up to the wedding, and that would stress me out.
Our B&G will stay in a small suite in Dallas before going on to Cancun. Breakfast is included and their plane doesn't leave till the afternoon.
Hotel!
I really don't want to come back to our house the night of our wedding. I want it to be carefree and special and I can only imagine the disaster our place will be in from having people over before the wedding. And I am so anal retentive that I would want to clean as soon as I got home LOL! Also I am sure people will be crashing at our house that night! Haha that takes away from the romance a bit, eh?
Ours is far enough away that we don't have any reservations set up but I can tell you that I know we won't be staying at the house, I'm not going to want to get up and let the dogs out at 6am, haha! :) There is a bed and breakfast just a couple of blocks away from the reception site so that's an option for us.
we stayed in a hotel close to the airport since we had a flight the next morning
We stayed in the tallest building in our town. It's actually short term furnished apartments but they recently had started renting out for shorter stays to the company that I work at. So we were able to book a two bedroom apartment on the second to top floor for just our wedding night. We had a great view of the city. It was pretty amazing.
We aren't entirely sure yet since our wedding is in my hometown which is 45 minutes away from where home will be once we're married. I don't really want to drive 45 minutes back to our house which I won't be living in until after the wedding and then turn around and drive right back the next morning for brunch with the families and send off for the honeymoon.
Funny side note: I was talking to FI about this a couple weeks ago trying to convince him to get a hotel room and he said he didn't see the point when my parents live in town and his only live 15 minutes away. He said we could just crash there for the night. I had to explain that we were NOT staying with either of our parents on our wedding night! You'd think that would be a given!
Home! We'll want to see our kitties before the honeymoon, and recharge a little. We're kind of homebodies, though. I love a good vacation, but I feel sad without my animals.
We are totally homebodies too, and have 2 dogs!! That's why I'm leaning more towards home, but @artbee makes a good point about it feeling like a "getaway" for the night.
Hmmm.
Our venue is technically a hotel, so we get a free room there! :-)
We stayed at a hotel, it was nice because we could escape the crazy for a day or so and relax (not see all the half open presents and random wedding stuff crowd the house!)
We're getting married in the city where we live and aren't going on a honeymoon right away. We are, however, staying in a nice hotel (TBD) the night of the wedding. It's definitely not a necessity, but because of this, we're also allowing my fiance's siblings to stay with us the week of the wedding which is a nice thing to be able to do.
We'll have had houseguests, we'll have been working on craft projects--I'm sure the house will be a wreck! We want nothing more than to go relax somewhere pretty, fun and clean with room service, a big bathtub, and late check-out!
I stayed at my grandma's house since that's where all of us girls got ready and my husband stayed at home, then got ready with his guys and family at his parents house.
I thought it would be fun if I could get FI to stay the night at FBIL's (where the wedding is) and I was able to have all the girls come stay at our apartment with me! Or have us switch places, who knows. lol.
hotel, because we're getting married in our hometown [not where we live now], and you better believe we're not staying with either set of parents, haha.
hotel, because where we're getting married is 2 hours drive from where we live so it's not feasible to drive home after the reception.
If we were getting married in our town, though, we'd definitely 100% just go home after.
We are having our ceremony in my parents backard and we will have been staying with them for a month by that time. It would be reaaaally awkward staying with my parents that night but we can't really afford a hotel. I am hoping someone either gifts us a night at a hotel or we will have to pony up for a cheapish one.
