Night Before the Wedding

What is everyone doing for the night before the wedding regarding accommodations? I'm just trying to get a ballpark idea of whether people have their bridesmaids stay with them, get separate rooms, stay at home, etc. For some context, three of my bridesmaids will be coming from approximately 2 hours out of town. I was planning on getting two connected hotel rooms for us to stay in the night before (not all the girls know each other so I don't want to have two in a room who don't necessarily know each other), and then we have to wake up early for hair and makeup to start at 7 AM. My fourth bridesmaid lives right down the road so she'll just come to the hotel that morning. Now one of my bridesmaids has said she'll be staying in the hotel but in a different room with her boyfriend that night, which is totally fine. The other said she may be living in our town by then. Obviously I'm not going to force anyone to stay with me, but I just didn't know what most brides did.

I'm staying in our suite alone. I don't really want to be alone but at the same time there is no one I would want to sleep over. If that makes any sense haha. FH will probably stay at our place solo I assume because his GM either have kids or live close to our venue so it doesn't make sense for them to stay with him.

I'm staying with my parents the night before the wedding and my BM are from local so I have no accommodations for them.
My FH will be staying at the hotel with his GM the night before the wedding.

I agree with you Melissa. So we got a huge suite to accommodate all of my bridesmaids (8) for the night before the wedding. This way we will all be together (on time) for hair/makeup appointments. Cheers to mimosas in the morning! lol! Besides that I'd rather have my girls by my side than be alone the night before. My FH will be at our home with his groomsmen.

Me and my MOH and 2 bridesmaids all shared a hotel room the night before. My groom had his own room at a different hotel and his groomsmen all got rooms there too. Me and the girls were a 5 minute drive from the ceremony location. The guys were 30 minutes away and a five minute walk from the reception location. Pretty much everyone was coming from OOT for this wedding except for my husband, so my family stayed at my hotel and his family stayed at his hotel. Then the night of the wedding every stayed at the guys' hotel since we could walk there after drinking. Good luck!

We're staying at home alone, and everyone else with be in their respective hotel rooms. It's a DW for the entire bridal party, while the groomsmen are all local except one. they're coming with their SO's, etc, and I haven't done sleepovers since before middle school. Didn't like them then, don't like them now

My FSIL is sad we're not spending the night before together having a big, girly sleepover, but my BFF told me "Thank god, I would've killed you".

Birds of a feather...
