Parents Are Tagging Along on Their Kids' Honeymoons: Is This OK?
Briefly

Some newlyweds invite family and close friends to join post-wedding travel, creating a multigenerational 'familymoon' where relatives stay at a resort while the couple also carves out private time. Other couples prefer a traditional honeymoon spent alone to bond after the wedding. Some pair a short, family-inclusive period or local resort rest with a later, longer getaway to a farther destination. Combining family presence and private couple time is a common compromise. Couples sometimes consider vow renewals or repeat honeymoon trips, though symbolic celebrations do not guarantee long-term outcomes.
"I will say I do know a young couple that did something like this," Savannah said. "They kind of had a 'familymoon.' They had their wedding, and then the family kind of stayed and hung and they had a beautiful week at a resort." "Did they have any time alone, too?" Jenna asked. "I think they also had that," Savannah said.
"Personally, I'm a traditionalist," she said. "I think you and your hubby should go off (on your own). In a way, the wedding is the 'familymoon.' You're surrounded by friends and family." "You kind of want to be alone," Jenna said. "We went in a lazy river, and we slept for two days because we were exhausted," Jenna said. "If I could redo my honeymoon, which maybe one day I will, I would go ... farther (away)," Jenna said.
