People staying at your house before the wedding?

We had a full house the THREE nights before our wedding. Guest room bed, guestroom ante-room futon, upstairs couch, downstairs couch - like 7 people. AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. Just go to Costco and stock up on food platters. Your guests should have no expectation of your "hosting" on the days before the wedding. And trust me, having them close at hand to help out will be a benefit in the end.*

*Unless there's any kind of family drama or overbearing parent stuff going on.

I am having FBIL, FSIL- they are Best man and BM staying with us as well as FMIL and FFIL. that way they can all help with last minute details and we have the room. I hope it doesnt cause me too much anxiety- it probably will but i cant blame it all of the guests. ill be a HUGE ball of nerves!

Ask them to pitch in a maid service fund so after you can have someone come and clean up so it's all peaceful after the wedding for you. thats my plan.

My parents stayed with me the week leading up to the wedding. My dad was already living with me at the time (yes, my dad lived with me for 6 months leading up to our wedding. It worked out that the wedding coincided with him selling his business and transitioning into retirement). My sister came in the Wednesday of wedding week and stayed with us.

It wasn't that bad, but I'm used to it.

I have been worried about this too but feel bad making my out of town bridesmaids pay for a hotel the whole week. My sister (MOH) is going to ask each one of them to help out with some kind of house hold chore so I don't feel completely stressed the whole week. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude about the whole thing and know it will be nice to have them there with me!

We are. My sis, bro-in-law and their three kids will be staying with us Thursday night before the wedding (two nights before). not ideal but they live further away, our rehearsal is Thurs, and she's my MOH and will be doing stuff with me on Friday so it all sort of made sense. We'll see how it works out.

We've had a few aunts ask. The answer was a prompt "sorry but no". I don't need the extra stress a few nights before the wedding.

Thankfully we live about 3 hours from where we are getting married. my dad already tried to see if he could stay at our house after the wedding because he didn't wanna have to pay for hotel, but i quickly nipped that in the bud. i told him we probably won't be back to our house for a few days after the wedding. and honestly... do you really wanna crash on a newlywed couple? haha.

no way are people staying at our house.

i won't even be at our house before or after the wedding. i'm staying in a hotel over in austin.

My parents arrive Monday. My sister (MOH) arrives Tuesday. I have a 2-br house. My dad has decided that my bed in the guest room sucks and tells me EVERY SINGLE TIME he visits. After next Saturday, FH's bed will be in the guest room. Wedding night my parents, sister & her bf will be at the hotel but I have 4 other family members who will stay at my house. I run a low-level hostel. Oh yeah, FH's parents arrive at his house Friday, as do a GM & his BM. The BM is going the hotel route, thankfully. But we are at capacity!

My FMIL is staying with us on Friday night. I don't mind we don't see her often and I think it will help my FH relax a bit. We are planning a low key evening after rehearsal which won't be long at all.

We also had someone ask if they could stay with us the night of since "you won't have anything new to do" (we've lived together for years). FH informed him that his wife is technically new and they don't want to be around for that. Seriously though people, you have a year to find a hotel, and we've arraigned transport from the reception to the hotel block. Use it!

I'm inviting all of my out of towners to stay with me before the wedding if they want. I don't think any of them will, but I love having company. We have lots of other family they can stay with as well. My family are very hospitable.

ALL of my family lives oot. So my sisters, mom, dad, Matron of honor, niece and 2 nephews will be there just the day before and I'm going to love all every moment of the maddness!!!!!!! lol. I love my family and I dont get to see them as often as I want since all of the planning

One of my BM is staying with me but that is it. We still live in an apartment and there's really not a lot of space so I'm limiting it to just her.

I live with my parents and will have at least 5 of the 7 bm staying here the night before the wedding. We did the same for my sister's wedding (though she did not live at home) and had a great time.

My mom is coming into town the Saturday before because she's doing the flowers and needs time to go to the wholesaler and place the order. She's staying until Wednesday after the wedding and will supervise the tent guys dismantling since we are leaving Monday for two nights. Everyone else is staying at a hotel.

I need quiet time and calm. I had my own hotel room the night before the wedding, and just enjoyed being with everyone up until time to sleep. I know of another bride who did the same. Do what you need. If you love having people around, great, if not, have a back up plan, even if it is going to a friend's house that is calming. Sometimes it is a bit overwhelming if you're an introvert at heart. Doesn't mean you don't love all those people!

I told my family they should stay at the hotel when they come in town. Except my mom. She's gonna be helping me get ready. But that's enough house guests for before the wedding. I'm thinking most of my out of town guests won't come in until Friday or Saturday (the wedding is Sunday). I'll be at the hotel by Friday anyway so...

My best friend is from Belgium and she flew in the week before the wedding to stay with us. The night before the wedding all of my bridesmaids stayed at the house and we slept in the living room on air mattresses. It was a lot of fun!

My sister will be staying with me. She is my best friend aside from FH, partner in all things strategic and planning-oriented, and MOH, and I can't imagine coordinating the day without her. Everyone else is staying in a hotel or with someone else--no way am I hosting a house party for everyone who wants to come.
