Leaving for honeymoon after wedding?

We are leaving the next morning for our honeymoon

Do whatever is most convenient for you and FH, but I would suggest at least waiting til the next day. Get a good nights sleep.

We are leaving 3 days after the wedding. We wanted one day to come back to the venue for clean up and to sort out items if any guests bring gifts. We also want to take a day to hang out with our boys before we are gone on our ten day honeymoon. I think what's supposed to happen is whatever you and so want to happen

Our venue staff cleaned up & packed up for us afterwards, all we had to do was load a few boxes in the car. We left for our honeymoon the next day. You don't have to do it a certain way- whatever works best for you is fine!

Our wedding is on a Saturday and we're leaving Monday. 98% (seriously) are from very far away so it would be nice to do a brunch thing or something as well. Plus I also wanted a day to chill out after such an big event! And I don't want to have to be worrying the night of/immediate morning after my wedding to put the last minute things in my suitcase.

ETA when I say far I mean like 3+ hours, only a few are coming from places farther than that, not like a plane ride or anything

We are planning on doing a red eye Sunday night after our Saturday wedding. That way we can host a brunch the next day and then head out and have Monday in our destination (Thailand? Tbd!)

We are leaving one day after the wedding. We will be having family in from out of town so are leaving the day after the wedding open for them. We are planning on doing a morning after brunch

Our wedding is on a Friday. We'll be having a farewell/thank you lunch on Saturday and then leaving for our honeymoon Sunday morning.

1) If your venue doesn't have staff to clean up after the wedding, hire someone to do it. You'll need to get that figured out regardless of when you're leaving for your honeymoon.

2) Unless you're having a brunch wedding, it would probably be too rushed to leave for your honeymoon the same day. We left the next morning and it was fine, but we also got plenty of rest because our wedding was a mid day the day before. So it's up to you and FH to figure out what you would be most comfortable with.

Due to schedules, we are waiting a few months on our honeymoon.

However, if you are having a venue, coordinator, etc. You should not have to clean up..... If your FH wants to leave that night, I would hire a DOC to clean up after the wedding.

It is not unheard of to leave the night of your wedding but I would be emotionally and physically exhausted! I would recommend staying one night and leaving early in the AM.

We had rentals to return on the Monday and meetings with caterer to settle final bill on the Tuesday. We ended up not leaving till the Friday.

I'm going three weeks after. I wanted some time in between and while one week after would have been fine, we got a better deal by waiting. I did not want to be exhausted on my honeymoon!

Our wedding is on a Friday. We will stay at a hotel near the venue, probably have some sort of breakfast with our families Saturday come home, put things away, try to relax a bit and pack. Sunday we and out of town guests and our families are going to a Cubs game (super excited) then that Monday we are leaving on a flight to Mexico. There will be things to do between Saturday and Sunday for sure.

I feel like that only happens in movies lol you can take your honeymoon whenever you want.. we are going a couple months after our wedding. If I was going after my wedding I'd go a day or 2 after.. I'm not getting on a plane after my reception ends at midnight lol

Depends on the day of your wedding. We are waiting a few month for ours.

We are waiting a few days before our honeymoon. I haven't been to a wedding where the couple leaves straight from the end of the reception. I feel like that is just done in the movies.

I would suggest going a day or two later, because you will be tired, and have other things to do after the wedding is officially over. You might have rentals to return, or you might have people who you want to see (since they came from OOT), etc.

It's definitely up to you. Since we are driving to our honeymoon opposed to flying, we will be headed straight to the honeymoon. But we only plan to drive an hour and then get a hotel and drive the rest of the way the next day.

Our reception is ending at 11pm on that Saturday and we're hoping to leave on a flight around 6 or 7 am Sunday. It certainly isn't ideal, but that next week is the only week I have off from school. We have very few OOT guests and the venue will do the clean-up, so it works in our situation.

Our wedding is Saturday and we're leaving Monday in order to spend time/say goodbye to out of town guests and clean up the venue and make sure we have everything packed and ready to go for the honeymoon.

My MOH and her husband left from the reception when they got married. None of us minded helping clean up we were so happy and excited for them!
