The Night before your big day

Aww, this is such a good idea! I’ve been with my SO for 8 years now, but I love the idea to add some extra excitement to it. I also like the idea of having your bridal party stay over. I’m now considering doing this 🥰

OMG 3 months wow! Yeah your stay together the night before was well worth it.

Oh wow! I like that idea, it's crazy because my mom and maid of honor have been the only ones to go dress shopping with me. I would have never thought about that. I wanna try that I know that's going to be a picture to remember.

We haven’t discussed this yet but knowing how superstitious and traditional he’s been about most of the wedding, we will probably sleep apart.
I don’t sleep the best without him, but if that’s what he wants then I will accommodate since he hasn’t asked for much.

Yes I think without my bridal party being separated from him would only make me go crazy lol. I think it will be exciting too and when you guys finally see each other oh boy the feelings are going to be beyond wonderful.

I totally understand what your saying. Thats great he hasnt really asked for much going to make a great husband lol

I plan on spending the night before at my parents house while he stays at the apartment.

Yeah I've seen pictures of other brides that did it and I love it.

We haven’t really decided. More than likely I will be staying at my parents house since my beauty artist will arrive at 730am to start. I want to be able to sleep in a bit so she will start on the others before me. My FH is a fire fighter & his shifts rotate. He’s on for 48hrs than off for 96. We’re used to the sleep schedule. We will still be together the night before but not sure where he’s staying as our parents house will be full with out of town guests. Gonna be interesting!

We spent from about 7 pm on together in our suite. We cuddled, and were very happy and excited . Definitely the best thing for us. I did not get ready with others, either, we each took our own time in our own rooms and baths. So FI and I spent most of the morning and early afternoon together, on the Inn grounds, visiting people who had arrived. I can't imagine any reason to spend it apart. To each her own.

I thought we'd stay together in our home but my FH actually said the traditional night apart thing could be fun. It does make sense- it's a change of pace from normal when you live together and in that sense it's exciting.


Also, depending on budget it could be fun to rent a really luxury room (you do 2 nights for night before and night of or more if in your budget) with a spa tub or something, put in a bath bomb or something, light candles, have a drink, wear a facemask (NOTHING NEW- don't risk a reaction!) and just really enjoy. 😊

We were together. We had lived together for 6 years by that point. I sleep terribly when he's not in bed with me because I'm just so used to him there. We didn't live far from our venue, but we opted to get a hotel room anyway, and the rehearsal dinner was in the same place as the wedding. We went to the hotel after the rehearsal dinner and then I left in the morning to head to the salon for hair and makeup and we didn't really see each other except for a chance encounter in the lobby. I was walking in with his mom and sister from the salon and he and his dad were walking out to go somewhere. I wouldn't do anything differently.

Yes!! that is going to be me and my FH as well except we are not doing a first look before the ceremony. But we are doing a first look after the ceremony during photo session since we will be changing our bridal gown and suit for the reception. He will be changing out of his military suit.

My FH and I are staying apart in two normal hotel rooms and then staying together in a nice suite for the night of! Honestly with the amount of time my girls and I need to get ready, I think it's better for my FH to have his own wake up time and his own space.

View Quoted Comment Awww I bet those pictures will be awesome!

View Quoted Comment I'm tempted to go the other way *because* of how we sleep when together 😂. He's a guy who stays up until 4am, I'm a lady who wakes up... Well, now.
I'm a light sleeper, so we've had little tiffs sometimes on him waking me up as he climbs into bed. After years of living together, it's something I've accepted - but I can get super miffed when he disturbs my sleep before an important meeting lol, so I may suggest a night apart that night to avoid murdering him.

View Quoted Comment Ahhh ok, well I hope your nerves will have gone away by the time your day arrives! I totally understand being nervous thinking and planning for it!

Whoot whoot, we're getting married at the 10 year mark too! I'm not changing anniversaries out here. Lol
I'm voting for sleeping apart - we might all hang out as a group the night before, but I'm going to want a way to retire early and not get jostled awake at like 5am when he rolls in bed. I think separated will help us both be less cranky that day. ✌️😄

So I’ve been asked this recently, my mom asked if I wanted to stay in the hotel with her and my dad but I’ve decided I want to spend the night before with my future husband! I think I’d get a better rest being at home and having the comfort of him with me!

View Quoted Comment Awe I absolutely love this! We are definitely staying together. I’m always at ease around my future husband and couldn’t imagine going the whole night and morning not seeing him on our special day!
