My best friend is getting married this Friday. I wanted to secretly send her and FH some pic while they are away on their honeymoon (to their hotel). Is this thoughtful or intrusive?

Re: Is this thoughtful or intrusive?
I personally would love it. I know that the day after my wedding I am going to CVS with all my table cameras and getting them done because I would be dying to see pics while on my HM esp because we are going away for almost 2 weeks.
I am bad like that- last year when we went on a cruise, we were barely off the ship when I went to CVS to print out all my digital pics!

Re: Is this thoughtful or intrusive?
I tend to disagree. I think it's intrusive... I'd mail them to their home and let them receive them when they return from their honeymoon.
While I understand you are trying to be thoughtful, I didn't want people sending me things on my honeymoon. I wanted to be alone and undisturbed with DH.
What WAS incredibly thoughtful? The people who sent us lovely letters with tons of pictures or emails with pictures while we were gone, which we got to see the minute we got home.
As much fun as our wedding was, I wanted a wedding break when I was done -- and the honeymoon was perfect for that. While seeing pics would be great, my honeymoon was just for us -- a note from a friend at the hotel where we were staying would have been... well, weird.
Just being honest... I'd send them to her home with a nice note -- or send them in a small album to their home.
I thikn it is totally thoughtful and a great idea! I say go for it!

thoughtful! I would've loved receiving pics while on the HM......and I even talked to some of my friends while I was at the airport in Hawaii, so it's not like I needed to be completely cut off from everyone at home, the vacation itself was still all about me & DH being together.

Re: Is this thoughtful or intrusive?
Oh..... SOOOooooo thoughtful!!!
How excited will they be to come back to their hotel room, where the light is blinking on their phone telling them they have a package at the front desk. They go down , open it and see all the beautiful pics from their big day... they will sit and relive it all and Im sure........ it will respark their wedding night .. LOL!!!!
DO IT!!!

Re: Is this thoughtful or intrusive?
I would have to say both. I can see how it could be intrusive (not in a bad way) but just like more wedding stuff. Like if something you didn't know about happened at the wedding and she was stressing over it, the pics may bring it up again and she will be thinking about it again. Know what I mean.
But I do not like suspense, I would want to see them the next day and if someone sent them I would have to call them and thank them! LOL
Do you know if they are going to have their laptop with them? If they do maybe send it to their email address, that way if they check their email they would be able to see them, if not, they will see them when they get home anyway. win win!

Re: Is this thoughtful or intrusive?
First, let me say that it is very thoughtful of you to take pics for them and send them to them. I'm sure they will love them, I would love that if someone did it for me!
With that said...I personally wouldn't want pictures sent to me while we were away on our honeymoon. I would rather wait to look at them until we got back..for a couple reasons
1-I would feel like as soon as I looked at them, that I should call or e-mail the person who took them to thank them..which I wouldn't really wanna do during our honeymoon.
2-I can't wait for a break from the wedding planning, etc....just to relax and not say the word wedding for the two weeks we are away on our honeymoon
3-Alot of brides say that they are bored/sad when the whole wedding is over because they have nothing to do. I love the idea of having the wedding, then going on our honeymoon, and then looking forward to seeing all the pictures from our photographer and family. In a way it's probably kinda like you can still have that excited wedding feeling when you look at your pics...I think it will give them something else to look forward to (wedding related) when they get home

I think it's very thoughtful. I'd LOVE for someone to send me pics while I'm away (as long as they were good..lol).

I think its thoughtful but might make her feel like she needs to call and say thank you.
If you are going to send them, can you wait till they have been there for a few days.. give them a chance to decompress and chill out and a nice little surprise on day 4 or something.

I think that's a great idea and I just may do the same for a good friend who is getting married in a few weeks. Not intrusive at all! It's not like you are calling them or texting them. They will be happy to receive a package at their hotel and suprised when they see the photos. Go for it!

Re: Is this thoughtful or intrusive?
A friend of mine took pictures of the ceremony and when we got to the reception she gave them to me! I was so happy and surprised to see wedding pics while the wedding was still going on. I never asked her how she did it, but she must have gone to a duane reade and them them developed in between the ceremony and the reception.
