What has to be done the day after the wedding? Do we bring our packed honeymoon bags to wedding night hotel?

I'm trying to figure out my day-after-wedding flight schedule, and trying to figure out if I should leave right from the hotel for the airport or go home to get our bags for the honeymoon...

We're hosting a breakfast at our hotel on Monday morning for our OOT guests...

the breakfast is included with the rooms from 6:30 until 9:30am. (we're 'hosting' the breakfast from 8am until 9:30 to 'continue the celebration').

If we leave from the hotel with our already packed bags, we'll be able to make a 1:55 flight, right?

Or do you guys recommend going back home to get bags and anything we 'forgot'... or taking care of 'banking needs' (depositing checks), etc.

What has to be done the day after the wedding? Ugh... this is giving me such a stomach ache trying to figure this out! I don't want to be rushed catching a flight, but I also don't want to get to our honeymoon destination too late on our first day...

take your bags ahead of time. that way, no matter what, it's one less thing to remember that day since you will already be 'away from home.'

I agree. Forget about the banking. We did our banking when we got back. You have no idea how exhausting a wedding weekend is, so save as much time as you can by consolidating. (We didn't leave until Monday, with our wedding on Saturday and we are so glad we did.)

okay... now we're moving our flight the day after the wedding to about 4:40pm (no longer flight 69 .)

So this is what our day will look like:

9:30: breakfast ends
10:30: check out of hotel and say goodbye to guests
11: open some gifts at parents' house
1: go to the bank to make some deposits (some may be NEEDED for the honeymoon!)
2: leave for airport
3: check bags
4:40: flight

That sounds doable, right? Or am I insane?

The only problem is that I made a 9pm dinner reservation in Disney that I may now have to change to a later time since we're not getting to Orlando until 7:25 now. I HATE planning all this out!!!
