Night before the wedding

Laura, on November 14, 2016 at 4:52 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 40

Hi all! Curious as to what you all have done/plan to do as far as sleeping arrangements the night before the wedding? I was in a wedding recently where all of the bridesmaids stayed in the suite where we got ready the next day, and then the bride and groom stayed there after the wedding, but most of my bridesmaid's have significant others so don't know if it's annoying to ask them to do, considering there may not be a bed for them in a suite? I slept on an air mattress and was fine but I know everyone is different. How did you handle? Thanks!

    I could never have all my bridesmaids with me the night before because I want to sleep! I love all of them dearly, but I'm looking forward one last quiet night at my parents' house. I'll go home with them after the rehearsal dinner, then we have a shuttle bringing all the bridesmaids to meet me there so we can get ready.

    It's also my MOH's birthday on my wedding day, so I don't want to take her away from her FH the night before

    We will probably get a hotel room by the venue and one of us will stay home. A lot of people stay the night together, but I don't want too.

    My parents are renting a vacation house by the venue and I will most likely stay there with my family and the BMs will join me the morning of the wedding. FH is probably going to hang out with his GMs and stay in a hotel.

    We are staying in separate suites in the same hotel. My girls will stay in their own rooms with their husbands.

    I'm sleeping in my room with my best friend (FH). I wouldn't want it any other way.

    My plan is to be staying in our new apartment alone. The venue will be right down the street from where we're hoping to move (and worst case scenario we'll live 15 minutes away). All my bridesmaids live pretty close too so I'm sure they want to stay at home. FH will be living with his parents until after the wedding so he'll be spending his last night there!

    I'm staying the the bridal suite with two of my bridesmaids the night before and FH is staying in a different room at our venue. FH was going to stay at home, but all of his groomsmen are OOT and staying at the venue the night before so he decided to get a room too.

    We had no hotels involved, so DH and spent the night before and after in our apartment, and all my BM (most of whom were local) stayed in their own places. Honestly, if I were travelling for a wedding, I'd feel bad leaving DH alone in a hotel room so I could hang with my friends.

    I slept at our house, my husband slept at his parent's house, and the BMs all slept at their own houses.

    Our venue included a room for Friday and Saturday night so I stayed there Friday night with my MOH and sister (BM), and we got ready together in the morning. My sister flew from Texas to PA with my dad, so her BF did not come, and my MOH's BF traveled separately with some other friends Saturday morning, so they were both unattached that night. Originally My MOH's BF was going to also come down Friday with her so he was just going to stay in the room with us, but they changed plans last minute. My other two BP members got ready at their own places and we met up early afternoon.

    I decided I'd rather splurge on the hotel for the night of the wedding than do anything for the night before. So I will be sleeping in my own bed, in my own house, with FH right next to me.

    I'd rather stay at my mom's house the night before, but she'll be having my grandma and aunt stay with her so there won't be any room.

    Besides, someone needs to be at our house to host FH's out of town family (which just reminds me, I probably need to figure something out for them the night of the wedding...hmm. Ah well, worst comes to worst we'll have FH's younger brother, who in a weird way is like a son to us because he stays at our house so much, stay at the house with his parents).

    I will be sleeping at a hotel nearby my venue with my BMs and MOHs. Some of them are married as well but they can put one night aside just like I did for them, which there was no complaints. So it is totally up to you and your bridal party.

    FH and I will be sleeping at home. Our home is only a few minutes away from our venue and neither of us see a point in spending the night separately seeing as we already live together.

    I'm planning on staying at my parents house (which is where the wedding will be). One of my MOHs (sister) will be staying with me, but nobody else. I want to make sure I can at least get a little sleep to look decent for pictures! FH will probably be at his parents house or our house the night before with his Best Man. Mostly to make sure the BM will wake up and be ready in time for the ceremony!!

    I'm staying in the hotel we blocked that is close to our venue; since it's a 10am wedding we will have to have an early start. That way I'll have a place to get ready that doesn't impede on anyone else's space.

    I am staying at the hotel where our venue is and told all of my bridesmaids that I would love for them to all come and stay the night with me if they could. A few of them are mothers so I didn't want to take them away from their babies if they couldn't be. So I just gave them the option to come if they wanted to

    I would ask them to stay at a hotel if you want to! My husband and I just stayed at the house and went our separate ways to get ready the day of.

    I am going to spend the night with a couple girlfriends. They will be happy to have a night away from their husbands. HaHa! I don't know where FH will be. Guess he'll have to figure it out cause he isn't staying with me!
