After rehearsal dinner

They go together. Most popular option is they stay at a hotel the very first night. We are probably just going to go back home (we live together) since we’ll be burned out lol.

It's really up to you. We're planning to just go home together and have breakfast together before going our separate ways to get ready for the wedding. A lot of couples also spend the night apart too if that's what you want to do.

View Quoted Comment So its not traditional to go separate ways after the dinner rehearsal? We live together as well and he wants to stay home and told me I should stay at my moms house after the dinner rehearsal but if its not the traditional way and youre saying you guys are staying at a hotel that night, im a bit confused

View Quoted Comment So there isn't really a traditonal way? Im new at this whole wedding thing because we are doing a non traditional way

View Quoted Comment Oh wow I thought it said dinner reception! Still waking up I guess... as Lacy said it’s up to you. It’s tradition to spend the night apart, but not specifically when. If it’s easier for you to pack your things and go to your moms Right after the dinner and do that then that’s fine. Also some girls I know booked a hotel room and had the bridesmaids spend the night with her and got dressed up in the morning together

We didn't live together before we got married, so we each went back to our separate houses (both of us rented) and hung out with people from our bridal parties/other friends who wanted to join. My MOH and former roommate stayed the night so I wouldn't be alone. I don't know that there's any "traditional" way to go about that time.. just whatever you want!

View Quoted Comment Well, I think traditionally you would spend the night before apart, but people also used to not live together before marriage. Weddings are as unique as the people having them and don't have to fit a specific mold. You can keep traditions that you like while forgoing others that don't suit you.

This is completely up to you. Some people spend the night apart while others stay together. We decided to stay together because we calm each other and it helped ease any anxiety. Plus we were at a hotel so it was cost effective to stay in the same room.

You do whatever you want.

View Quoted Comment It is traditional to stay apart, but it’s not like anyone is forcing you to follow tradition

Thank you everyone!
