Honeymoon with friends

I think it's weird. We only get one honeymoon, but there's plenty of future opportunities for buddycations. IMO if FI and I can't entertain ourselves for a week right after our wedding without other people coming a long, our marriage isn't gonna last.

Double post

I think it's weird too. I don't want the pressure of having to entertain or spend time with others. Just wake up late, eat when we want and go wherever we want!

I think its so weird. We were planning on going on a cruise. I mentioned it to my friend and she and a few people will be on the same cruise. Needless to say we are no longer planning to take a cruise.

I think it depends on the situation as well. We are going to Disney for a week 6 months after the wedding for our honeymoon. (We are doing a weekend minimoon right after the wedding which will definitely just be us only) But we invited another couple who just got married on the premise that we will obviously have our own room and we can hang out if we want, but if we want to do our own thing we would be totally cool doing that and they totally understand that too. I don't know if they are coming yet. But we will be happy either way. So like I said, I think it depends on the situation and who would be invited.

This is an interesting read- i think like @jenny said that in the future you can take buddycations but to me a honeymoon means that it's just you and your H enjoying each others time/company.

There is a group of people I went to high school with who are doing a group honeymoon... They are taking 8-10 people. I think it's incredibly strange. I agree that going on a group vacation sounds like a lot of fun, but I feel a honeymoon should be kept to just the married couple. Honeymoon is usually a once in a lifetime sort of deal. You can vacation with your friends anytime.

I do not necessarily think it is weird. We aren't doing a honey mood after the wedding (might do one the next year). We are staying at a hotel on the beach for three days though. I thought about asking local friends if they wanted to meet up with us to hang out. We have been together 12 years and have plenty of alone time. I would like to hang out with some friends during some parts of our stay if possible.

Honeymoon with friends? Uh.. NO!

FH's family vacation this year worked out to where it could only happen for everyone right after the wedding. So we're family-mooning, and plan to take our original honeymoon trip as a 1 year anniversary-moon.

I wouldn't do it. Honeymoons are supposed to be private and intimate. Not a buddy party.

Isn't that what the reception is for? Celebrating with your friends and family? Leave them at home and enjoy your time together!

I don't think its all that weird. Like the article says, so many people live together before the wedding now. It would be super weird for a young couple who were saving themselves till marriage to bring a bunch of friends along, but everyone's situation is different.

My (now) husband and I had already spent years celebrating our anniversaries on romantic overseas vacations by the time we got married. On two separate occasions the hotel had somehow gotten mixed up and THOUGHT it was our honeymoon, so we had already experienced flower petals spelling out happy honeymoon on our bed and whatnot haha. I wanted a destination wedding but it didn't work out, so if we had the money to rent a giant villa for a bunch of friends I would have loved to have done that. Calling it a "buddymoon" would have made me throw up in my mouth though.

No way. FH and i have never vacationed together (we've travelled together to visit family or attend other weddings), but we have never just picked a place and gone. i am really looking forward to that.
