Where are you staying on your wedding night?

FH and I were planning to come back to our house, which is about 20 min away from his parents house, where they will be hosting the after party. We leave for our honeymoon the next day, so I liked the idea of being able to go back home and not worry about getting our bags and my dress from the hotel. FH thinks it would be pointless to get a hotel in the same area that we live in when we could just go back to our own home. Other people have been telling me that we should go to a nice hotel to make our wedding night more romantic and special. I was told 'you have your whole life to go home, go somewhere special on your wedding night'.

What are your thoughts? Where are you staying on your wedding night?

    We went home. I actually enjoyed being able to sleep in my own bed and get some good rest before our honeymoon. We were about 20 min from our venue and same distance from hotels. I didn't wanna pay to just sleep somewhere.

    Our venue has a deal with a hotel that if our guests book x amount of nights we get a free night, so I think that is what we are banking on lol

    I would like to do a cabin. We are getting married in the Shenandoah Valley and I've seen some nice cabins, but if we can save a little bit of money that will be nice too!

    We are staying at a hotel. Only because we have some family from out of state staying at the house so it'd be kinda weird. Otherwise we would go home if no one was there.

    We will probably just stay at home. We are thinking of having a town car or limo pick us up at the end and take us home.

    We were going to stay at our house, but ended up with guests staying here, so we are getting a room at a hotel about 5 min from the house!

    We got married in the woods with a tent and we spent in the middle of the dance floor after everyone else left. We left one string of lights on overnight and brought a sleeping bag and our pillows from home. It was so nice and could have been super romantic with music playing and dancing and what not, but we were so tired we did none of that. lol. It was awesome being able to sleep right there and then wake up and start cleaning right away without having to drive anywhere.

    I am staying at a hotel a few miles away from the venue and my apartment ... it's the one totally

    Unnecessary splurge .. the girls will also be getting ready there the morning of ... I have a smallish apartment so I just felt it would be easier ... and this hotel has a spa so I can get my nails done the day before and all that jazz

    We're definitely going back to our house. After a long day we know we'll want to be in our own bed lol When my brother and SIL got married some of us bridesmaids went and decorated their house with candles (unlit, of course), rose petals, and a bottle of champagne to make it a little more special. Bride just gave us her house key while she was finishing up getting her hair done. Worked out great!
