Night before/ Wedding night accommodations

My FH will stay at our house with a few of his groomsmen and myself and my bridal party will stay at our hotel!

My venue shares a parking lot with a boutique hotel that I've booked a suite in. The suite is large enough for all 6 of us to get ready in, so that's what we'll do. My sister (MoH) will be staying there with me the night before for a couple of reasons: 1) While I don't want the entire bridal party there, I also don't want to be completely alone. 2) My sister, bless her heart, is notoriously late for everything. Example: Last Christmas (at our parents' house) she suggested we get there at 10am. That's when FH and I got there, but she and her boyfriend didn't show up until about 11:30. Since she also can take a while to get ready, I figured that if she's already there with me then there's no way she can be late getting there!

FH and the groomsmen will be getting ready at our apartment then heading to the venue. We're not doing a first look, so the first time we see each other will be at the ceremony. Then, after the reception, he and I will go back to the suite together and stay there for the night. My truck will be at the venue/hotel, so he'll be getting a ride there from one of the groomsmen.

I'll be staying at the hotel where we will be staying the night of the wedding, with whatever bridesmaids want to stay with me. I'm thinking probably only one of my bridesmaids will actually stay with me (possibly 2 if my FSIL doesn't want to be with her husband who will be with FH) I know my best friend will stay with me, I have separation anxiety and can't sleep in a bed alone and she's the only one I want to cuddle with the night before my wedding lol

FH will either stay at our house, or his Parents house (they live closer to our venue) wherever he wants, I also imagine all his groomsman will spend the night with him!

We didn't really talk about what we are going to do, but he was pretty adamant he wanted to spend the night apart so the first time he sees me on our wedding day is as I walk down the aisle so I'll give him that.

I will spend the night with my parents at their house the night before the wedding. My older sister is my maid of honor and will probably stay with my parents that night too, even if she and her boyfriend rent a hotel room for the week. She is coming in from the west coast for the wedding so spending time with her is a big plus. Also, I love my mom and she is one of my best friends so having her with me is important too. I want to be near people that will support me if I am anxious and celebrate because they are almost as excited as I am about my FH and I spending the rest of our lives together. Still sleeping in a separate room from my family members so I have time for reflection and quite if I decide I want that.


Also, I don't want to worry about being uncomfortable where I am sleeping the night before the big day. I know I sleep well there, even without my FH sleeping next to me.

View Quoted Comment That honestly is just so beautiful ❤️ I'm so glad you have such a loving relationship with your family ❤️❤️

Yeah, I know I am incredibly lucky to get along with my family as well as we do! You don't get to pick your family so it is sometimes the luck of the draw!
