Getting ready

Alex, on July 30, 2020 at 10:02 AM Posted in Planning 0 14
So today’s question:
Who gets ready with who?

My FH and I will be getting ready in two separate locations: he will be at our house, I’ll be at my parents house.
Would his parents do the getting ready with him? And my parents would do the getting ready with me? Or would my dad go there and his mom come with me?

    His family can get married with him and yours with you.

    Our wedding is at a hotel and everyone is staying so they will already have their own rooms. Most likely they will be going back and forth but for the most parts the moms will be with me and dads with him!

    For us his family is getting ready with him, with the exception of his sister because she’s his best woman. She’s coming early to get her hair and makeup done with us, then going to meet up with him and be with him the rest of the day. My mom will be with me. My dad is probably just going to get ready at his own house and then show up early to the venue (my parents are divorced and not on the best of terms) and his parents will most likely do the same.

    Honestly, I hadn’t thought about this part although I figured that my mom and his mom might be in the bridal suite for a bit.
    But then again, his mom might get ready where they’re staying and come to the venue with his stepdad and 4 siblings.
    My dad will probably get ready in his hotel room and then come to the venue, although I’m sure he’d be welcome to get ready with the other guys. I’d imagine my ffil will be getting ready with my FH and his groomsmen.
    Guess that’s something I need to ask FH about in the next couple months. Lol

    We are doing the guys all together and girls all together so both families were split up.

    My fiancé is getting ready at the resort where our ceremony and reception will be held. I’m getting ready at home with my parents and our daughters.

    My fiance and his groomsmen and the ring bearer are getting ready at his parents house, and myself and my bridesmaids and the flower girl are getting ready at his grandparents house (the wedding is at their pond, reception in their yard) my mom will likely get ready before coming over but I expect she will be there with me and the girls helping me get ready. My fiance's sister may also be there because her daughter is our flower girl. I think his mom will probably just get ready at her own house since that will probably be most comfortable for her, but she would be welcome to come hang out with us girls too!

    My mom is getting ready with me, my step dad will be with his kids, my FH’s mom will be with his sisters, and his dad will be with him. That’s how they want it, though. Otherwise, we would have my family with me and his with him to spend some sweet moments together before the first look and photos.

    You should decide who you want with you and decide based on that. Because these are your immediate families and you probably only plan to do this once, you may also consider how important it is to them to be with you that morning.

    Our pre-covid plan: My mom, bridesmaid, fmil, and I get our hair and make up done together. fmil goes home and gets dressed where my fiancè, his dad and the groomsmen are also getting ready. My dad and brothers (bridespeople) get ready at my parents house. We'd meet them there after we were done at the salon and go to the venue together. My mom, bridesmaid, and I would get dressed in the bridal suite at the venue, while my dad and brothers hung out in the groom's room with the other guys.

    COVID plan: My mom and I are having our hair and makeup done together, my fmil is having hers done by her regular hairdresser, and I think my bridesmaid is going to do her own. My brothers and I will be staying at my parents' house the night before (their yard is our 2020 venue) so we'll all be getting ready in the same building. My fiancè is staying at his parents' house, which is close by, the night before, so he'll be getting ready there. His mom wants his brothers to get ready there too, but they'll probably just get dressed at their own houses.

    For our's I'm getting ready with the moms and he's getting ready with the dads. I don't think there's a right way to do it. Just depends on what everyone's comfortable with.

    I never really thought about this. I think we will end up doing my fiance and his family getting ready at their house and I'll be getting ready at my parents house with my family.

    The night before the wedding, I'll be staying at a hotel close to the venue with my sister, who is my Matron of Honor, and her two daughters who are the flower girls. My fiance and his best man will stay together in the same hotel, in a different room. FH and his BM will start getting ready in their hotel room and make their way to the venue to finish getting ready in the groom's suite. Likely, his dad, my dad, and my two brothers will join already ready to go. I'll get getting ready in my hotel suite with my MOH, two flower girls my mom, and his mom. I'm not sure that the moms will stay with us the entire time, who knows, but they are doing their hair and make-up with me. I'll be halfway ready to go when I get to the venue, I'll just have to put my dress on and make any last-minute adjustments to hair and make-up.
