Night-before"tradition"

I would do it as she's your good friend kicking and screaming but I would do it. FYI this is not tradition.

Never heard of this tradition and I wouldn't want to do it either without knowing I was going to get a good night's rest. I'm sleeping alone at the hotel/venue and taking the day before the wedding for a massage, yoga, and some r&r so I can have a great wedding day. I don't sleep very well as it is and have a chronic illness/autoimmune disorder. No way I'm risking feeling like the walking dead on my wedding day.

First off, I do get where you're coming from and I am not trying to be sassy! However, the most important thing is that the night before your BFF'S wedding day should be 100% about her and what will make her most happy; she gets to do this once in her whole life. It's one night out of your entire life, in my opinion, everyone involved should choose to be selfless and think about her first. I think you would both regret it if you didn't go to the sleepover and missed out on her special night. But it's ultimately your decision!

If she is the bride and she wants this then I would definitely oblige her to make her happy and surrounded with love. If you are the bride and she wants to do this for your day and you don’t want to, then I would tell her you’d rather get enough sleep for your big day. You’ll see her early in the morning

I'm sleeping at home in my own bed and next to my FH. We live together and have kids together ❤ We have already done the traditional way wrong so traditionals aren't for us anyways.

I feel that if you’re a good enough friend to have been asked to be a bridesmaid, you should be able to sacrifice one evening of being well rested to spend some time with her the night before she gets married. Especially considering it sounds like you don’t live locally. I would be hurt too if I were her. And as others have said, you probably won’t go to bed that late anyway!

If this "tradition" isn't for you, say so. This is YOUR wedding and what you do the night before to ready yourself is up to you. If your friends what's that at her wedding by all means! Weddings are filled with traditions, luckily in this day and age we get to choose which ones we want.

I’m actually a bride who wants to do this! But I’m getting 2 separate rooms (that can be conjoined, so there will be a total of 4 beds, & there would be at most 6 women including me. So deff plenty of space! On the other hand your situation is totally different. I think if your friend wants to do this, there should be more space for everyone. Especially if some people snore! I once did the one bedroom apartment thing for a night before the wedding, & I didn’t get any sleep whatsoever. I still had really fun the next day, but I was exhausted lol. So I definitely see where you’re coming from in this! I think ultimately you need to just have a clear conversation with your BFF. You two are super close, so I’m sure you can both come to a reasonable understanding! Good luck!! 😊
