Default How long did your guests stay?

I was wondering how long did your guests stay at the resort? Did you ask that they not stay after a certain point so that you could continue on with your honeymoon? Or did are you going somewhere else after the wedding for the honeymoon?

If you asked them to not stay after a certain date, how did you let them know?

Lets say your wedding is on a Saturday and the guests arrive earlier in the week, do you ask them to leave or move to another location on Sunday?

Any advice would be appreciated. Not sure what we are doing as of yet.

I am just going to let my guests stay as long as they like. I figure far be it from me to stop people from enjoying their vacation. But then again I am not honeymooning where I am staying so I guess it is different.

This is one of the reasons we're going somewhere else for our honeymoon (Hawaii) and why we chose not to have our wedding in Hawaii - we didn't want people tagging along!

We went to another hotel for our honeymoon starting the night after the wedding. The longest people stayed was about 5 days after. I have to admit, we kind of missed them though...knowing that they were all together at the hotel and we were alone. But we got over it quickly :)

I don't think there is any nice way to ask people to leave by a certain date, sorry.

We will have a few days at the end by ourselves. And even before I've made it clear that I want some just us time. I'm excited to have most of my guests stay for a while though.

We just flat out told everyone that they can stay as long as they want but that we were going to be on our "honeymoon" so don't come knocking.. :-)

We are moving to another hotel after our wedding night. Some people are staying in Cabo up to 5 days after the wedding. We wanted our friends & family to make a vacation out of this, so we really encourage people to stay. While we will go off to our honeymoon hotel after the wedding, we still plan on hanging out some with the people that stick around. My BF's 30th birthday is happening while we are there, so we will definitely go hoot & holler with her.
