Help! Getting married in June 2022 and stumped on where to sleep!!

FH and I want to be together the night before with our bridal party and their significant others, plus a few extra key people (maybe 20 total including us!). \

Here's the problem:

We are getting married where we live, but neither of our families, nor any of our BP live in our town, so no friends/ family homes to "borrow". We currently live in a 1 bedroom apartment, so our home is out.

There is only one Airbnb within a 30 minute radius of our venue that allows more than 15 people, but caps at 16. It's also way more than we feel comfortable spending.

We did not do a hotel block, we have a few rooms that FMIL booked as a safety net, but our preferred hotel is now booked for our date.

I'm not sure what to do! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Any creative ideas on where to stay?

My stepdaughter and I stayed at my parents' house the night before and DH stayed at our house! Originally he was going to stay at his parent's house, but our cat unexpectedly had 8 kittens the week before our wedding. We knew the house would be empty the majority of the wedding day and night, so we didn't want to risk leaving her alone with them for 36+ hours. (Maggie was attentive to the babies, to a point, but whenever she would get sick of them she would bring them to us . . . she literally had them in our bed and when we moved her to our daughter's room, she surprised us by bringing them all back INTO our bed while we were sleeping.)

Hi Victoria! Would you also be arranging accommodations for your bridal party for the wedding night?? If you're not arranging things for both nights then it might be more of a hassle for your bridal party!!
You could invite that same crew over for a "slumber party" at your apartment that's really just an evening get together instead. Or you could see if your bridal party wants to split the cost on that AirBnB and visit them at their rental!

Omg, cutest thing ever! How funny she brought you them when she tired of them (or maybe needed a nap!). Glad you stayed home before your wedding. Duty called…. Or should I say “meowed?”

Yeah, she is a very independent cat, so while she's a great mom, she seems super thrilled that there is only one left (we kept the runt) and is way more playful and affectionate now that it's just her and Mylo.

We haven't really discussed the night before too much, but I'm definitely staying at our house, and any of the bridesmaids who want to are welcome to stay as well. That's where we're getting ready the morning of. My FH and his groomsmen are getting ready at his parents house, so I don't know if he'll stay the night there, or what

In a suite. With or without my bridal party, I haven't decided. I need to rest before the big day
