Wedding party accomodations

Forst, ask theor preferences. If you are paying the lodgings, sonce they are coming for you, it os your choice what to get, then those who want will stay with you and others will stay elsewhere, their choice. But if they are paying for their lodgings or shares of it, they may be assuming you will invite their SO ( those married or seeing someone) and prefer to get private rooms with their SO, showing up pf course where there are scheduled rehearsal, RD, grooming appointments if they do not take care of their own, and showing up 1/2-1 hour before pictures or the ceremony start.
If traveling with an SO, most will not contribute to that while their SO stays alone, then pay to stay with you. And unless they are only 1 day at the destination, attached people make plans for times when they do not have specific things. Unless your BP is very young, or no one is attached, do not automatically assume people expect to be with you the whole time.

I definitely agree and will certainly ask them - the house would be large enough and have enough rooms that each could have their SO stay with them and have their own private room (some might need to share a bathroom). It would be around $500 cheaper for the whole weekend than staying at a hotel for them

View Quoted Comment Sounds good. A lot of positives. Unfortunately, many brides reserve places with share bedrooms, exact count for bm. Then get angry at ones who want to stay 3 days with SO, not a bridesmaid's houseparty. When 2 or 3 people pull out the cost per share goes up for everyone, and that anger ( 2 are doubling costs for the other 2 when they pull out, so now the other 2 want.... big mess. Good to check with them.

I would let them decide what they want to do since they know their finances the best. For our wedding, my husband's sister, her husband, my husband's brother and his wife all shared one Airbnb and they split the cost. I also know the best man and another friend of my husband's stayed at the venue where the wedding was and they booked a room together that had two beds and they split the cost. Others stayed in their own hotel rooms. It just really depended on what they were comfortable with. We didn't feel the need to micromanage our bridal party or guests.

My bridal party (& their SO’s) rented an Airbnb and all stayed together. My venue had 4 cabins on property that we rented for the weekend for us and our immediate families, so we stayed there. I did go over to my bridal parties Airbnb and spent some time with them. It worked out well and was not overly expensive.
