What to do about significant others on the morning of the wedding.

I see. I say if they're friends and he wants to hang out with the guys and groom and it's okay with them then of course by all means. But id just give him the option and let him do whatever he's more comfortable with!

I'm going to give OOT guests a list of things to do around the area but really I'm not going to entertain them the morning of. My parents are getting a large suite for the family to gather in so maybe that's where they will be. Lol

Don't worry about it- they will figure it out on their own. Usually they meet up with other friends' spouses/SOs. For example, at our wedding all the GM's wives and gfs hung out in one of their hotel rooms and got ready together... the husbands/FHs of my BMs all hung out and got lunch together. When I was in my best friend's wedding in October, my husband and my other friend and BMs husband hung out together. They will figure it out on their own!

I wish I had an answer to this. My father will also be here at ground zero with my brother in law and one of my BMs partner. Thankfully, we have a big house and I'm hoping I can park them on the first floor with the tv, a remote, and some brunch while most of the chaos happens on the second and third floors. I tried to ship them off to my inlaws where FH is getting ready, but it was vetoed for some reason.

I say let them figure it out. Adults can figure out stuff to do on their own. Don't add more stress on yourself trying to find stuff for S/Os to do while BMs are getting ready.

I had my BMs come over to our house the morning of to get ready. My MOHs husband drove them over and then picked up my DH and they together went to his parents hotel. They got ready there along with DHs GM (his cousin). We knew ahead of time that the girls would be coming over but really just worked out the finer details at the RD. I think the SOs usually understand that some of the morning bits are girls only.

They can all go get brunch or figure out something to do. I think people are on their best behavior at weddings and don't want to be in the way.

Our wedding party and families are all OOT, and will probably stay onsite with us, but goodness only knows what they'll get up to the rest of the weekend! My family are infamous for making their own fun (in a good way). Past family weddings have included group trips to baseball games, hikes, historic home tours, brewery tours and lots of 'hey, that place across the street looks cool. We'll be over there for a while.'

My bridal party and readers and I will hang in for hair and makeup, and they'll run interference with the groom. No first look with the groom, we'll be staying separate from midnight the night before until the ceremony!

I told all the girls (Bridesmaids) to meet me at my house to get ready and they like the idea. As for partners they can go with my FH whether they are groomsmen or not. Granted we have one bridesmaid with a female partner who has been really cool about not joining in the bridal activities without being asked. (Which we are cool with, shes awesome) so she will prob just hang with us day of. Guests can figure out what to do. My sisters wedding was two hours away and the guests just mingled with each other before the wedding at the venue.
