Staying with guests night of wedding?

So due to logistics we're planning on renting a large air bnb the night before the wedding so myself mother/in law and bridesmaids can get ready.

The venue is about 90 minutes from home, is it odd if we all stay there again the night of the wedding with the male counterparts.

Own private bedrooms/bathrooms etc.

Just wondering if its odd to wake up and have breakfast with the family the day after the wedding 😂 I just don't want to worry about moving bags, check in/out times on my wedding day.

Sounds fine if that’s what you want. I would have liked it but I know others would want to be alone with their new bride/groom. Go for it.

Sounds fine to me.
Quite a lot of people all stay at the venue when the wedding is at a hotel and all have breakfast together the next day.

I think in 2021 we are in a very different world from when the B&G's wedding night would have been their first night they had spent together.

Of course, only you know your DM, DMiL, and bridesmaids.

Do it! We stayed at the same hotel following the wedding and it was lovely to see people the next day as well.

Another yes.
We stayed in a hotel with lots of guests and the B&G recently, and the hotel laid on a separate breakfast room. It was lovely and allowed the B &G to catch up with everyone.

I don't think it's odd. It's quite common really, as people above have said, if you were staying at a hotel then you would all see each other at breakfast (unless you ran straight off for your honeymoon of course).

But also, it doesn't matter if it's "odd", if it's what you want to do then do it!

Thanks everyone, I thought as much bit I've never been to an immediate family members wedding so not something I'd thought about before.

Thankfully in laws are all fine and bridesmaid are all sisters/in law. Both sides of family have been on holiday and Christmas together so we get on well thankfully!

Do it!

You'll enjoy it. It's lovely chatting with everyone the next day. We did the same and loved it :-)

The only thing that would put me off would be everyone thinking you're 'at it' on your wedding night 😂. It feels less likely in a hotel when you're not sharing a wall with your mum.

That being said we stayed in our wedding hotel and it was lovely to have everyone together at breakfast.

Haha yes I did think of that. Thankfully there's 1 bedroom on a separate floor!

It will be a long day so probably straight to sleep 😂

In my culture, it’s common to have a large party at breakfast the morning after the wedding. Sometimes it is just family and out of town guests. Sometimes the invite is extended to everyone who attended the wedding. Everyone meets up for breakfast and more visiting. Our wedding brunch was hosted by a wealthy aunt and was honestly fancier than our wedding.

so I wouldn’t Find it odd at all.
