Bridal suite

Where are you located?

I would suggest getting a nice Air BnB or VRBO

We can't suggest anything unless we know where you are located...

Technically you don't have to a huge bridal party, you are choosing to. I would suggest maybe going to the salon for hair and makeup (then you won't have to pay a travel fee) and then just get dressed in the bridal suite, save some money to buy 13 BM gifts.

Call hotels. Not sure what advice you are hoping to get. Book a suite or adjoining rooms. Problem solved.

@Blair nailed it. Don't blame having a big bridal party on your family, you CHOSE to have fifteen million women in your BP.

I suggest renting out a house or finding a place that will rent the presidential suite (and hope to God nobody "important" comes in that weekend, because they WILL boot you for anyone of status).

Or you could just not ask everyone and their dog to be in your BP...

Thanks everyone for the rude comments on my bridal party. I didn't come here to get advice on the size of my bridal party. I'm located near voorhees nj to those who asked. I did chose to have a large bridal party because I wanted those important to me involved in my day and when you have a family the size of mine with cousins as close as I am to them you end up with a bridal party the size that I have. I've been on a ton of wedsites to the hotel around the area and they don't offer suites or atleast what they call suites are just an oversized standard room. I've called most of them with no answers as far booking a room block and offering an actual suite. So I was curious of anyone else has come across a hotel that they like with ample room. As far as going to a salon. I'm a makeup artist and hair stylist so I have a glam team coming to us with no travel fees with an amazing discount so going to a salon is already handled. Plus the idea of going somewhere else scares me with the time constraint. I've worked in salons and if they are already backed up your appointment gets started late and all so I opted out of going to a salon and having a team come to us. Hence why I needed a hotel suite. But thanks for the input everyone.

No one was rude, we just pointed out that it was a choice you made and it wasn't forced on you

When people say giving good advice is "rude"

I have 10 people getting ready the morning of the wedding (bridal party, myself, flower girl, mothers) and I didn't want it to be cramped so I spoke to the hotel and am paying add on an adjoining or adjacent room. I figured we can do hair in one room and makeup in the other. Perhaps your venue has an option like this?

Air bnb or ask about their conference room (if they have one) price to rent that for a few hours?

Even a Jack & Jill style suite with 2 separate, but adjoining rooms wouldn't be big enough for 14 people plus a photographer and a "glam squad"

Good luck.

Oh Lordt. Here come the, "you're all rude comments."

FFS no one was rude. They were just trying to tell you that because you have a large family doesn't mean you HAVE to have a large wedding party. I have a large family. Guess what? I'm choosing to only have a MOH.

Have you looked into get a conference room at the hotel?

It was rude in the fact that I chose to have a bridal party whatever size I wanted. That wasn't the suggestion that I was asking about. It doesn't matter what everyone else does. I asked for suggestions about a hotel or anything similar. If I wanted everyone's opinion on my bridal party I would have asked for it. It wasn't necessary for everyone to have something to say about my bridal party. And it's not just my bridal party getting ready. That includes me, the BP, flower girls, my mom and my two grandmoms who live out of town. I'll look into the conference rooms! That's a great idea. I didn't even think of that.

We can say whatever the hell we want. You can't dictate what people can and can't say on a PUBLIC FORUM. Have you not Internetted before? Yes, I made up that word.

If you don't like it, don't post on a PUBLIC forum.

I'm going to check out the conference rooms available at the hotel we're staying at. We used a conference room for my friend's wedding and it was great to have the long tables with plenty of chairs and outlets.

This is exactly why I said rude. I came here for suggestions not to be criticized. That's what I thought this forum was for. To support and help all couples getting married. Clearly I was wrong and I'll think twice next time I want to ask for anything. Thanks gymrat!!!

I'd also suggest renting a house! I had 7 bridesmaids plus both moms so we rented a local house for the day

If you're blocking off rooms at a hotel, do they have a suite you can use? I'll be getting ready with 7 bridesmaids, my mom and probably FMIL, and then hair and makeup artists as well. I'll probably have over a dozen people in there. One of our hotel blocks is at a Marriott, and I emailed the manager I'd worked with to see if they had a suite large enough to accommodate us since they didn't offer adjoining rooms. We booked a 2 bed/2 bath suite which will be perfect for us that day.
