Sound-off: Familymoon

Hey Knotties!

Is anyone going on a "familymoon" - honeymoon with family members - or is planning on taking a familymoon? Tell us what you think of the idea!

My BFF and her H went on their honeymoon with her new MIL to visit his family on the east coast.  They left from the reception to drive to the city their flight left from early the next morning, and the MIL stayed in the same room as them.  They got virtually no time alone the entire time they were visiting family.  She regrets not having a "real" honeymoon where the two of them got to spend time with just each other.

Well seeing as a honeymoon is just a vacation, it really depends on the couple. Either they want their kids/family along for the fun or they don't. H and I enjoyed our HM to Key West just the two of us but we also thought that it would have been fun to have had friends come as well. Just because you go on a vacation together doesn't mean you have to spend every second with the other family members. H and I would have had plenty of alone time in our room or would have taken a day to do an excursion just the two of us. I really think people make HM out to be bigger and more important then they really are.

That idea does not appeal to me at all.  I would want alone time with my new H.

We're going on a familymoon to Disney World with my daughter and we're all very excited! My FI has been in my daughter's life since she was 2, it doesn't feel righy for us to go anywhere without her.

I think FH and I would like it, but then again... It'd be nice to have some quality time, just the two of us.

WTF?  No.
I would want time alone with my new husband to relax, have some romance, and a sex fest.

I'm actually all for this, if it fits the couple.  My fiance and I have talked about actually doing a destination wedding to the Dominican, where we can pay for all the accom. and food for 7 days for 20 guests for the same amount one night would be where we live.  I think it would be so much fun to spend a week with our families, partying with the people that matter most, than spending that same amount of money for 6 hours somewhere that will fly by before we know it.  My fiance is kind of against the idea, but only because he wants a big wedding with a couple hundred guests.  I say, we will only see them for a few minutes, I would rather treat everyone that is most important to us to something really spectacular.

My fiancé wants us to go to Disney world with the kids for a honey moon and potentially have his mom, sister and brother in law come too. I have no objections with the idea besides spending so much money to go.

I wouldn't enjoy this.  If I wanted to go on a vacation with everyone in my family after my wedding, I'd just have a destination wedding at the location area.

For my honeymoon, I just want to be with my spouse-not everyone else.
