Night before the wedding

Hi all! Curious as to what you all have done/plan to do as far as sleeping arrangements the night before the wedding?

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!

    FH and I have been sleeping apart for 6 months while he's been on graveyard shift. Once this is over we're not staying apart, even the night before. We sleep so much better together Smiley smile

    I plan to be at home in my own bed with my FH on one side of me and my dog on the other.

    I sleep best with DH by my side so that's what we did. We had a DW so it honestly wasn't worth the extra money to us to get separate rooms for night.

    I will be at my house and FH will be at his.. we don't live together and that will be the way it is until we say I Do... but we have no bridal party except for the kids (RBs and FGs).. so because my cousin is always late I plan on picking up her two kids either the night before and have them sleep at my house or pick them up in the morning.. not sure yet... the kids from FH's family will be with his siblings til we need them at the church.

    My FH will be staying in a penthouse suite the night before. My bridesmaids are staying at the same hotel too.

    I slept alone at the hotel. FH slept in one of his groomsmen's rooms. I wanted to stay alone. I knew I wouldn't be getting a good night sleep and I just didn't want any one else there to worry me.

    No bridal party, just us and the kids. He and his son are staying with his mom while my daughter and I sleep at home. I doubt I'll be able to sleep, but at least she'll get some rest. Then I'll get her ready and we'll get my hair done before the wedding.

    I spent the night at home in my own bed. DH spent the night at his best friend's house so that he wouldn't see me on our wedding day until the moment I walked down the aisle.

    My girls are staying with me...there's only two and we are all pretty laid back. I think FH is staying in a hotel and then getting ready at his brothers.

    Ours is a semi-destination wedding - 2 hours away - and we'll be staying in a hotel. We plan on sleeping in our room, like normal. Only my side is religious and might ask about it or say something, but it's unlikely.

    I rented a big suite at a hotel near my venue. My mom and sister are going to stay with me the night before. Then we will all get ready together, including my bridesmaids and MIL. The night of the wedding DH and I will stay in the suite.

    I have a couple hotel rooms reserved. I have 8 bridesmaids and they all live far away so the hotel room was part of my gift to them so they dont have to drive forever after the rehearsal dinner, they all loved the idea!

    We will probably be staying together in the bridal suite. We will be doing a first look, he will get ready in another room while my girls and I will get ready in the bridal suite.

    I slept alone in the suite and he got a room with his best man. The girls came over in the morning to get hair and makeup done.

    We just slept at our house together the night before. I am not a fan of sleepovers. Not only do I not sleep well, but it's very inconvenient once you are adults with obligations like kids and pets. I also don't like to sleep separately from my DH and if you have people coming from out of town, where will their SO sleep? If there wasn't an actual bed for me that would be a big HELL NO.
