Wedding Eve (the night before)

We are staying at a snazzy hotel for 2 nights, starting the night before (logistics: the hotel is 5 minutes from our venue, we live 45 minutes from the venue).

I am just wondering what others plan to do. If you live with your fiance and/or are staying at a hotel like me, are you planning to wake up with your fiance on wedding day, then split ways to go get ready with the girls? Do you plan to sleep apart?

It's the little details. Smiley smile

    Tonight is actually my wedding eve! I am at my house tonight with my kids and hoping I can sleep. FH lives 45 minutes away and is at his house tonight with house full of company. We won't see each other until I walk down the aisle tomorrow.

    We've lived together since 2 months into our relationship, but we are not spending the night before together. We will both be at the same hotel with our BMs and groomsmen that are staying. This is one tradition I didn't question

    Think we're going to stay together at the hotel the night before. We don't live together yet but by that time I'll probably have moved in

    Tonight is our wedding "eve!" We're not spending the night apart, but after getting up tomorrow I told him I don't want to see him until the wedding! We've lived together for 4 years though and at this point I don't sleep well when he's not with me.

    We stayed together in our hotel room. Then the morning of I went off to the salon with my bridesmaids and mom and he went off with his cousin to get ready and hang out.

    My husband and I lived together prior to our wedding. I stayed at a hotel with my cousin, who was a bridesmaid, and he stayed at our house. My mom and my other bridesmaids came to the hotel the day of for hair and make up.

    We will spend the night in separate hotel rooms. We won't see each other until the ceremony.

    Our wedding is about 2 hours away in FH's hometown. He'll be staying at his parents the night before, and I'll be staying with my parents in a house they're renting.

    We slept in separate rooms at the same hotel. Our plans were that we weren't going to see each other until I walked down the aisle...but that didn't happen because he didn't communicate with me that he would also be going to the venue to set up. I was working on a sign when he walked into our reception space. We were both mortified, others around thought it was funny how distraught we were. Lesson learned.

    We had rehearsal dinner then invited all out of town guests out to the bars. So we were together most of the night before but we decided to spend the night apart. I let him have his friends over to our condo and I stayed at my parents house with my family, including my siblings spouses and kids. It was a lot of fun but we didn't get much sleep because every few hours a kid would freak out about the unfamiliar place and then my nephew woke us up at 5:30 for the day so I decided to just play with him since this excited bride wasn't going to fall back asleep anyways. DH had a ton of fun with his friends so I am glad he did that!

    We lived together but I stayed at a local motel alone the night before. I wanted to be alone with my thoughts. We did not do a "first look" as our wedding was informal at an arboretum and it did not matter to us, to be honest. We did not call, talk or text the night before, and that was on purpose.

    We will be staying at a hotel near our venue. Our wedding is on a Sunday. We booked their bridal suite that Friday and Saturday evening. My bridesmaids and I will spend the night in the suite that Saturday night so I can make sure they are there on time to have the MUA I hired get their makeup done. He will be with his groomsmen
