People staying at your house before the wedding?

Adults should be fine, especially these adults who are close to you. If it was someone with kids, especially bratty kids, I'd feel guilty say no, but I'd have to say no. Children break things, they make messes, they take things that aren't theirs, and they show up in places they shouldn't be. I love kids, but I wouldn't want that kind of added stress in the days leading up to the wedding.

My great aunt and uncle always *always* ask to crash at our house. It is really annoying because they have the money to stay in a hotel but they always ask for a "handout" place to stay.

When they ask, they do not really ask; the conversations go like this: "Well when we drive up with the dog we will just stay in your spare room and ride with you to the wedding." Then I am like "Um no, you won't. We only have one main bath and your stinking mutt is not welcome in my home."

We're getting married about 45 minutes away from where we live. EVERYONE, including us is staying at the hotel the night before. We have a few people coming in Wednesday and they're staying at a hotel near our house.

I am in charge of a college dorm building which rents out rooms during the summer, so we are gonna get a few for the family for the week before the wedding but FH and FMIL are pushing me to allow the whole guys side of the bridal party come the whole week since they are "practically family"....grrrrr - - but i'm excited to have my parents in for the week so close to my apartment. Glad I will have the option to close my apartment door and be alone while they are all there too though

Thanks for the advice everyone. I am excited to be able to spend more time with them but we do have family drama and I just know that it is going to be stressful. But I've talked to the family and told them that I am not entertaining them and I am not feeding them (except for Friday morning because they are all helping me put together our flowers). FH and I are going to go out on a date on Thursday just the two of us and everyone else can figure it out.

My entire family is traveling 1500 miles & I'm not letting anyone stay at our place the week leading up to the wedding haha oops

I'm having my entire bridal party stay!! They are traveling from CA to TX, and I wanted to alleviate the costs, so I offered my house instead of a hotel. I'm sure it will be crazy, but I only see them once or twice a year. So I welcome it!!
