our wedding will take place at 11 am and will be over (reception and all) by four or five...most out of towners are going back home but I like the idea of having a brunch !
and we already live together! so no moving into new home! lol

We don't have the money to stay an extra night...we have barely enough to stay the night of our wedding!

I imagine between sex and opening gifts you'll be booked enough. Keep in mind you still have to pack.
If it were me I would get as many Thank You's banged out as possible and put all the gifts AWAY! Lol it sucks so much to come home from vacation and have to do laundry and clean house because you ran out of time before you left. Add a long list of notes to write and a stack of stuff in the middle of your living room and there goes that relaxing feeling.

If you have out of towners that are staying the night, that would be a great time to get together with them.
I'll be having some major long-distance relatives coming for my wedding (I'm talking 1/2 way across the country as well as International travellers) and we were actually talking about a delayed honeymoon in order to stay in town to visit with our far-flung family members.
Other ideas: relive some of your romantic times locally. Favorite restaurants, museums, parks, etc.

I think a brunch with the immediate family on both sides would be nice. It would give them a chance to socialize one more time as one family before heading home. It would be a nice send off for your guests.
Then I would suggest getting your "thank you's" done in the evening after the brunch. Trust me you will feel great when you get back from the honeymoon with nothing to do but enjoy each other.
And if you want, you and your hubby should hit a spa the day before you leave to just relax.

Day one (after honeymoon night)-
Sleep in
have breakfast in bed
take a romantic walk or bike ride together
Open your wedding gifts (some choose to invite family and/or bridal party over to watch. this would be totally up to you.)
Have dinner together and make a list of all items you need to pack for your honeymoon trip
Watch a romantic movie together in the evening
Lights out (wink)
Day Two
Sleep in
Breakfast together
Go over list- run to store if there is anything you need for your trip. If you are flying make sure you have all arrangements for shuttle to airport and tickets. If you are driving, he needs to check oil, water, tires, etc. on the car.
Start packing
Have lunch together
Afternoon delight
Finish packing
Take care of any final banking issues before your trip
Do something fun together such as going to the park, playing a video game or cards, going to the gym if you work out, or watching another movie. Or you could have fun together just figuring out where to put all your new gifts!
dinner
early to bed so you will be rested and refreshed for your BIG trip!
I know several have said write thank you notes, which sounds like a great idea- but let's be real. This is your time to enjoy being together, relaxing together and preparing for your honeymoon. NO ONE is going to expect you to write your thank yous a day or two after your wedding. Enjoy yourselves, have a wonderful time on your honeymoon and you can write your thank you's when you return. honest!

Hang out with family and friends who will be in town for the occasion. I imagine you don't want to stray to far from home seeing as how you are leaving 2 days afterward. Maybe take a little roadtrip to someplace that ya'll have been wanting to do but just never had the time.... I'm thinking somehwere local within a few hours drive.
Or you could start in on your thank you cards!! lol but who wants to do that so soon after the wedding?

I am in a similar situation, our wedding and reception will be done at 4:30p. I just don't know what we'll do! I was thinking about going to a relatives house and just visiting with them and relaxing. The massage idea sounds good to me! I also like the idea of opening presents, I almost forgot that we'll probably get a few of those!

Kick everone out, open all the gifts, write your thank you notes, move to your new place if you have a new place, put your house in order, pack the stuff you need for your honeymoon, and then go to your honeymoon. Now at the honeymoon have some crazy hot sex, more sex and even more sex. LOL, you can't have too much sex

My hubby and I rented a hotel room in our town the next night. It gave us a chance to catch up on sleep and get over the craziness of the wedding day.

If you want to include the guests you can have a brunch the next morning. if you want some alone time with your man you can start moving the stuff into your new home.

If anyone is staying around, it would be fun to hang out with them...if not, just do something fun in your hometown. Spend the time at a park or hiking or whatever, as long as its nothing like work!
