Night before the wedding?

xRApril, on February 3, 2018 at 3:45 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 104
I’ve been looking through forums, but I haven’t really seen this be addressed. But I’m so curious about this! Couples that live together, what are your sleeping arrangements for the night before the wedding?! Should one of us go stay somewhere else? Or do most couples just spend the night together like normal? I had one friend that had her FH go stay at his parents house. I just don’t know if that’s what usually happens? We’ve only been apart 2 days since we moved in together so I’m not sure if I could sleep the night before if he’s not there?! But will I even be able to sleep anyway? Do you see if BMs want to stay the night (we all live pretty close)? I guess I’m just curious what other couples are planning on doing!

    My FH and his groomsman are staying at the venue and my bridesmaids and I are staying at either a bed and breakfast in town or at my parents' (40 ish minutes from the venue). We've lived together for 6 years but are doing the night before thing just for fun Smiley smile

    My FH will be with the guys and im planning to spend the night wit’s the girls at my parents (they have a huge house and we’ll be getting ready there with a makeup/hair stylist that travels). It will make it easier on us to get ready with it being so early Smiley smile

    I am staying at the hotel we are getting married at with my mother and sister. My FH is staying at home. This will I hope provide a little time to reflect and miss each other and build anticipation for the big day!!

    FH is staying at his moms and I told him we’re having a sleepover at the house since most of my bridal party is traveling in town. His groomsmen are all in state. I can’t wait to spend that night with my girls. 😆

    I stayed at the hotel with my MOH, and my husband stayed at his parents. We went out to a nice dinner together the night before the wedding, went our separate ways, and didn’t even talk/text each other until we saw each other at the ceremony. It wasn’t planned that way, but just how it happened, but after a whole day, especially with no communication, I couldn’t wait to see him!

    I debated staying at my parents' house but honestly I'm gonna wanna sleep in my own bed and try to get a good night's sleep. So FH and I will stay in our own bed but I'll probably be out of the house and getting ready before he wakes up most likely

    We’re all staying at the hotel (reception venue) the night before. FH and I will be in separate rooms. He travels a bit for work, so I’m begrudgingly used to sleeping without him.
    My BMs offered to stay with me the night before, but I’d prefer to be alone and decompress/get a good night’s sleep.

    FH is staying at home and me and the girls are staying in a hotel closer to the venue. I have a spa night planned with my girls so we can decompress and have fun before stuff hits the fan. I even bought spa masks and scrubs and candles to help us chill out. It's also a good bonding time for your party and an excellent way to make sure hair and makeup is appropriate for the ceremony!

    I suggested to FH he get a hotel room in same hotel as his OOT family, but he said no. We should just stay at house.
    i was gonna stay home cuz I’m a control freak and want to make sure I got everything I need here at home. We are not doing getting ready photos
    But at same pace we have 4 kids to make sure are ready and get out the door looking right as well lol
    we are going to ride to ceremony spot 30 min away together -just 2 of us- in his classic mustang.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing if he will stay with my parents or one of his GMs and seeing if the BMs want to stay with me. My MOH is my 16 year old sister (I’m 13 years older than her lol) so we definitely wouldn’t be drinking or anything crazy. But I think it’d make it easier to get ready since my stylist is going to come to our house. I’m mostly worried about FH going to one of his GMs house (like his brothers house since his wife is one of my BMs) and then not waking up in time for the wedding 😂. But if he stays at my parents house he would be extremely bored lol. I also mentioned just having the GMs and BMs all stay here at our house if they wanted to. I’m sure not all of them would, but it would be fun!

    We’re spending the night together. We are not buying into superstition.

    Me and my bridesmaids will be having a girls night and sharing a room and him and his groomsman will be in a room together. It will be fun. Our wedding is 3 hours from where we live so we will drive up the day before our wedding to get settled and prepare for our rehearsal.

    My husband and I went to sleep as usual in house. The day of, he went and got a shave with his son while my hair was getting done. He was here while my MOH and I were getting our makeup done. We drove together to a hotel near the venue (there was no place to get ready at the venue) and got dressed together. We took pictures at the hotel with some family that was staying there and then we walked about 6 blocks to the venue as our photographer continued to take pictures. Even though we were together the whole time, we both cried when I came down the aisle.

    My husband and I have been away from each other before as he goes on an annual golf trip with his son and brothers and I’ve been away on weekends with friends. We just didn’t see any point in separating the night before. However, it’s really a personal choice and people should do whatever they like and feel comfortable with.

    We are staying in the same room. I know I will be anxious the night before I probably wouldn't sleep if he wasn't there to ease my mind. Everyone keeps saying it's bad luck but I don't believe in that. I think if you want to stay with your FH then do.

    We already have separate rooms booked at a hotel. His groomsmen are sharing a room with him and I will be sharing a room with the flower girl. My mom has a husband and live to far and my sister has 2 kids so they won't be staying with me but they are my bridesmaids. It depends on what you both want to do and if you want to make it special for the honeymoon
