    Hotel? At home? And how much are you spending? Were considering staying at the local 4 Seasons since we dont have much in the way of hotels out here, but $250 seems like a lot of money for a room we wont be in for very long.

    DH and I stayed in a suite at a luxury hotel in our departure city, about an hour and a half away from our wedding venue and only about 25 minutes from my house.  I had waited my ENTIRE LIFE for my wedding night, and I did not have any intention of spending it at my house. :) Our room was more than $400 per night, and we stayed for two nights. (However, because I had paid to join the hotel chain's special program, we automatically received a free upgrade to a suite.)

    I stayed at my parents' house, and DH stayed at a hotel with his brother/best man. It worked out perfectly, though it was a little strange spending one final night in my old bedroom. It made everything feel so real!

    We'll probably stay in our townhome. We're leaving for our honeymoon a couple days later, so we will need the time to pack and get things in order first.

    We're getting a hotel room, it'll probably be around 700 pesos. I want us to spend that first night together as cheesy as it sounds =P.

    Wedding night? As in after the wedding? We are staying a couple of nights in the hotel we are getting married in - one night is covered as we are getting married there we are paying an extra $300 to upgrade to a deluxe suite and stay the extra night :)

    If you meant night before the wedding - we discussed this and decided to spend the night together in our house as logistically it would be a nightmare to stay at our parents - his are too far away AND they have other OOT guests staying too and my mums place will be full too with an overseas fam member staying there :) plus a quick good morning and a kiss goodbye will help with the nerves I think haha

    No, I meant the night you are married. IE: the first night together as husband and wife.

    Hotel, it's comped by our venue because we are dropping mad cash. Trying to get them to give us an early check in time now, too, so that I don't have to change into my wedding dress in an apartment filled with cat fur.

    @MsNarwhal: Edited: Ah, totally misread your question! I thought you meant the night before the wedding. We definitely spent our wedding night together - we just went to a really nice historic hotel for two nights. It was amazing!

    We reserved a jacuzzi room at the ONLY open hotel in town--i.e. where all of our other guests will be staying. Hope they know if they hear rockin', don't come knockin'!

    We're staying for the wedding night and the night after in this fancy old hotel in our city that my grandparents also stayed at for their honeymoon almost 60 years ago! We're spending about $250 a night but we're not going on our real honeymoon right away so we figured we'd splurge. They include breakfast in bed, a bottle of wine, chocolates, and roses in that cost so I think that pretty good!

    Probably in the hotel close to the reception venue that we booked for our guests. We are postponing our honeymoon until the summer following so we won't have to worry about anything but the brunch the next day.

    We're staying at a small bed and breakfast which will also be home to our wedding party that night. Then we are taking off early the next morning after a venue provided breakfast for our honeymoon - can you tell I'm excited??

    We're going to use our hotel rewards points and stay at a hotel near the venue. At least that's the current plan. We might stay elsewhere depending on when we leave for the honeymoon which we haven't booked yet.

    We are staying at a historic farm house on the same property as the barn we're getting married at. We rented it the night before the wedding for "the girls" and for an area to get ready, and the night of for us to spend together. It was $250/night, but I feel like it's worth it since it'll be a fun experience for my friends & me, and we can do a send off brunch the morning after the wedding there since it's big enough to hold a handful of people and there is a full kitchen. It's serving many purposes lol.

    We stayed at one of the more "luxurious" hotels in the city and got the "Romance Package" which included extended check-out time (1pm), champagne, fruit, cheese and chocolate basket in our room, and a voucher for brunch for two (which is a $100 value... yeah, it's quite the brunch!).  Our home was an hour away, so out of the question to drive all that way.

    We're staying in a hotel downtown, for about $200. We're "eloping" at the courthouse, taking photos and then spending the rest of the evening by ourselves, enjoying a nice dinner & drinks! We are marrying on a Friday and leave for our honeymoon bright and early on Sunday morning, so we'll have time to pack after check out Satuday.

    We are staying in a nice hotel.  Not sure what kind of room, but FI finally booked it today!  We are spending Sat and Sun night there and then driving down to Fort Lauderdale Monday for our cruise.  It just didn't seem right to go home even though it isn't far, we want to indulge and let other people clean up after us before the honeymoon officially starts :) The hard part will be packing for 13 nights away before the wedding.

    We're doing a Hilton by the beach in San Diego where we're getting married. We're not leaving for our honeymoon for a few days. I've stayed at the 4 Seasons a few times (free because a family member worked there). It is quite fabulous.

    We stayed at the same hotel the girls and I stayed at the night before, our rehearsal dinner was at, and us girls got ready in the morning. Our planner got us an amazing deal that, in the end, got comped because they didn't clean up the suite we were moved to to get ready in, that happened to be where we were spending our wedding night. Breakfast was still out on the table! They even gave us free breakfast and champage and chocolate covered strawberried because "nobody should have to come back to a messy room and wait on a cleaning crew of their wedding night." Ah, Omni... I love you!

    There is a possibility that we'll have OOT guests staying with us.. but they're going to have to find their own accomodation for the night ;)

    @MsNarwhal:  We're staying in a suite at the W in Chicago.  At first we thought we would just stay at home (we live in downtown Chicago) but then we thought hey, it's our wedding night!  Might as well go all out. :)

    The hotel we're getting married in gave us a free suite. The suite normally goes for $400-500 a night. =]

    FI and I get a free luxury suite for 2 nights at the Inn (our venue), which is a 3 and 1/2 hour drive from home. Obviously we'll be up there anyway- but I'm so on the fence about the night before the wedding! Do I stay in the suite with him, by myself, with my girls?? Part of me feels like I'm going to be so anxious regardless, so having the night before with him would be wonderful- waking up with him and having some us time before the madness begins! I'm taking my mom to breakfast in town the morning of the wedding just us two so I'll be up and out not long after waking up. If he doesn't stay with me I guess FI would be with the boys somewhere- I definitely don't want him and the boys in our wedding suite, and I don't want to have all my girls in there either really. Sounds stupid but I want that to be our space.

    @SarahConnors:  I would stay with my man. I'm going to! I think you'll sleep better. And it's not stupid AT ALL to want that space to yourself. It's your friggin' wedding weekend. Live it up.

    we're staying in a suite the super fancypants historic hotel associated with our venue! a wedding night stay is included in our package.

    the funny part is that it's less than a 15 minute walk from our apartment :)

    @SarahConnors:  i know what you mean!!

    were being pretty traditional about the wedding- ceremony in a church. we're not doing a first look or anything.

    BUT i want to spend the night before our wedding in our apartment, in our bed, with him!! i probably won't be sleeping well anyway, but i certainly won't be sleeping well if i'm not home.

    i just feel like it's silly to NOT do a first look and be all secretive if im just going to see him first thing in the morning anyway haha

    I think we will stay at a hotel near the airport. We are leaving for Jamaica in the morning (yay!) and our house is an hour in the wrong direction so it makes sense to go straight to around the airport. I looked at prices and will probably stay for less then $100.00 (gotta love early booking specials).

    We just started researching this! I think we are going to stay in a jacuzzi suite at a hotel in the city the airport is in. We will only be there like 10 hours before our flight. I think it's going to cost around $200. I do feel weird about it since we will only be there a short amount of time, but it's my wedding night so I'm going to splurge!

    On our Wedding night, we ended up crashing at our friends' house, who hosted our After-Party (that ran into the wee hours of the morning).  The next night we were at our (formerly My) Condo, and the next night we were on our honeymoon in St. Lucia.

    Since people seem to still be adding where they were the night BEFORE the wedding... I was at My condo and DH was at the Friends' house.  Girls got ready at the Condo, Guys got ready at the friends' house. Easy peasy.

    We're staying in a little couples cabin on our venue's grounds, which is a sugar shack in the middle of a maple forest. Should be romantic! :)

    The night before the wedding the entire wedding party is staying in two larger cabins.
