Plans day after wedding?

Well our celebrations didn't end until 7am! But, we woke up at the hotel, sat in bed and chatted about what an amazing day we'd had, went out to get some lunch, had a walk and generally just chilled out - I was absolutely shattered!

There is NO WAY I would have hosted a dinner the day after!

Jules - that sounds like one hell of a night! That's how I would love our wedding to be!! Did you get married in a hotel, thus meaning you could stay up til the early hours? Our venue shuts at midnight, but most of the guests are staying in a hotel with a 24 hour bar, so I can see us all going there.

Cupcake - a BBQ would be lovely! But obviously the honeymoon takes priority if that is the best day for you to fly!

We woke up at the hotel, had a gorgeous cooked breakfast, said our thank you's and goodbye's to all our guests and went back to my mums house.

We then went to the bank to pay in all our money guests had given us, grabbed a McDonald's double cheeseburger each while we were there, then went back home for an afternoon nap, before ordering in takeaway for the whole family that night. Back to normal with a bang, but it was lovely and relaxed! x

Current plan (always subject to change) is:

-breakfast in the castle with all the other guests who stay the night (should be about 40 of us, though not sure who will get up for it!)

-some people will be playing golf at Hever Golf club the following day, and I'm considering sorting out a pub lunch for whoever decides not to play at a local pub.

-saying goodbye to family who are flying home

-collecting the puppy from the dog-sitter and then collapsing into bed at home!

(our honeymoon is all booked, and we don't leave until the Wednesday following our Saturday wedding)

As most of our guests are travelling a distance to be with us for our wedding we are doing an informal beach BBQ for lunch the day after for those who want to join us. We originally wanted to get married by the beach but our venue is a bit inland now, our theme isstill coastal so this is a nice way to tie it all together we thought.

Breakfast at venue with the (apx) 20 other people staying there and then pack up and go, although we'll pop into the pub b&b 2mins down the road to see who's around still there and maybe grab a drink or lunch depending.

I spent it laid on the sofa. We then got a Chinese. Was pretty special.

We had breakfast and then set off on a 10 hour car journey to the Isle of Skye!

My mum and dad will be hosting an informal get together at their house with a few nibbles. A few friends and family will be travelling for the wedding so we want to spend as much time with them as possible. The day after we fly out for our honeymoon so it's gonna be pretty action packed! ?

We're having a champagne breakfast in bed at our venue then my bridesmaid is driving us to Glasgow where we've booked a hotel.

We'll spend the day ice skating in George Square (they have an outdoor ice rink at Christmas time) followed by a lovely lunch, then heading back to hotel to lie in bed, chill and watch movies all night ?

I want to spend the day after the wedding just us two, chilling out and chatting about the wedding.

What I would LOVE to do is have a nice breakfast with my new husband, go for a nice walk, have lunch with my family who will be flying over from the UK and then have some chilled out beers in one of the local bodega bars.

Realistically however it will probably be lie horizontal on the sofa and order some Dominos.

My family are all travelling a long way to be with us and so are staying at our venue the night after the wedding as well. We have decided to stay an extra night too as we didnt like the idea of just getting up and going home after the big day. We plan on sleeping a lot after the other guests have left after breakfast and probably spending some time in the spa, again doing not much before a meal in the evening with family x

I'm hoping to have all our travelling guests round for some sort of much before they leave so we can say proper goodbyes. Depending on how many there are of course.

After brekkie at the hotel and a lazy morning/early afternoon with those staying over we're planning on a few nibbles and drinks at a pub in town with those staying on before going back to our reception hotel for another night. Most people have a distance to travel and we're getting married on a Thurs so thought for those who want to make a long weekend of it and locals who can't get a day off, we can extend the celebrations!

Not sure yet but will be having a lie-in and breakfast with my new husband in the hotel! Then maybe meet up with some of our guests for lunch or nibbles, but nothing too formal. OHs family have a long way to travel back so I guess it depends what time they will be wanting to get on the road.....x

We paid for extra night the bridal suit so after everyone gone, am hoping to have a nice spa treatment and swim nice walk alone the beach then dinner in evening over looking the bay want is an amazing few hoping that are 3 ushers and they wife stay the extra night as we close group of friends, we live in south Devon, one couple live in reading, one in Brighton, on about 15 miles away do be really nice to have a catch up meal as its not offen we all together at same time.

We had breakfast the next morning with all of our guests who stayed at the venue, then packed up everything and said our goodbyes to those flying home. OH had a game of golf (with my blessing) then we relaxed together with my son and opened our cards and presents.

As we had been entertaining guests since the Thursday before the wedding I was glad to have some down time to ourselves.

We have our venue for the whole weekend so planning to invite everyone back to help us clean up and we might even offer a bacon sandwich too

i think like others we have a lot of people coming from a fairly long way away so it will be nice for us to say thanks and bye, and obviously make them do some work too!! It's a very DIY wedding

My parents are hosting a 'lunch' thingy. Theyre invited all family members on both sides to it like an open house, so they dont know how many will come. We're invited too, and I think it'll be nice to pop over as we wont be leaving on our 'minimoon' til the following day, and we'll need to collect our dog again ?

Although wedding is in the garden, we will stay at a b&b. OH's mum will probably have a drinks and nibbles thing in the marquee for her friends which we'll pop into. Then find somewhere to hide with my family til they leave! Then sleep. That is all.

We stayed at home on our wedding night so we had a nice lie in and some breakfast, then we had various family and friends pop by to visit us before they headed back off on their travels. A couple of my husbands friends stayed an extra night as it was bank holiday weekend, so we met them for drinks and a meal. Really enjoyed the day after actually, it was lovely to talk about the day with people we hadn't actually had that much time to speak to!

We went for a little buffet lunch thing at a parents (but both our parents came) before flying off on honeymoon

We had breakfast, packed up the cars, some people went of to Bath for the day since we where close to it, others just went home, we went back, changed up the money we got from people, had a pub lunch, came home, spent a bit of time with the child, dropped her off at my sisters, packed the last few bit for the honeymoon and went on r merry way for heathrow, where we staying in the airport hotel to fly out at 8am. I was so tired that I wouldnt have been doing much more than that even if I wanted to.

Sorry only just seen this! We didn't get married in a hotel, we had our venue until 1am and then a group of us actually went to a club - the most surreal experience being in a club in your wedding dress! Then we went back to a friends house and drank cocktails and danced in his kitchen - we just didn't want the night to end!

Jules, I'm glad you said that as it was exactly what us and our friends were thinking. Our do will have finished by midnight and we had kinda thought about joining our friends out after in a local club! OH said I wouldn't be allowed to wear my dress so I thought fine, I'll just get another wedding dress, haha, cheers OH!! You've made me realise that it is t that much of a crazy though

Sorry to lower the tone but I intend to spend the day *alone* with my new wife! making the most of the fact we're child free hahaha! We're waking up in a hotel then going on honeymoon that afternoon, so a lazy morning in bed is on the agenda..

Haha that sounds fab! I can imagine it was really surreal. I'm glad you had a wonderful night and made the most of it.

As long as we're not jetting off on our honeymoon, one of our ushers has offered to have a bbq for all our friends and family. I think it would be lovely to spend the day after with everybody.

I must admit, I was rather down the day after our wedding as it was all over ?

We arranged a lovely Sunday lunch at the hotel with immediate family and it was really chilled and we had a great laugh. It was a lovely wind down day

Nat

My OH actually said to me "Can you bring some jeans to change into?" Seriously!! If I'm going clubbing on my wedding night then I'm bloomin' well wearing my dress! I know it's not for everyone but if you want to do it then you definitely should!

We're getting married in the hotel of a zoo so I really want to get a load of people who are staying to come to the zoo the next day H2B isn't so keen but I'm sure I can work on him! Then after that it'll be home to pack for the honeymoon 2 days later

How is it humanly possible that you are my date twin and I didn't know this???!!! ? ?

Fricking awesome, I'd crash but I'm busy that day!!
