So, I was wondering... where is everyone staying the night before their wedding? I want to book a hotel room for my bridesmaids and I the night before the wedding. I figure this way, it'll be easy to wake up and get ready without the chance of running into my FI. When I mentioned this idea to my MOH, she said she had never really heard of people staying in a hotel the night before unless they were from out of town.
So what is everyone doing? Anyone doing the hotel route like me?
My MOH and I are actually staying @ the hotel our reception is being held at the night before and will have use of the suite all day to get ready. Since my FH and I live together, he'll be @ the house. People do it all the time. :)
I'm planning on getting a hotel room, even though we live in the same city where our wedding's taking place. I agree with you, I think it's just easier to have myself and at least some of my BMs in the same place when we need to start getting ready. Plus I think it starts the day off on a special note, waking up in a hotel! Are you staying in the same hotel that night with your husband? If so, are you keeping the same room or getting a new one?
@nhl: That's what we're planning on doing too :)
@hilsy: The night of our wedding, He and I are going to stay in the same hotel but in a different room. My bridemaids are just going to stay over again in the room from the previous night. I agree, I thought it'd be special to wake up somewhere different the morning of the wedding!
That sounds like fun to me! We stayed at my place (including a bunch of bridesmaids and my parents). I really wanted to sleep in my own bed...I sleep best there. DH and I stayed in a nice hotel on Thursday, the day before the rehearsal (which was at 11am Friday). We had a nice date night, walked around the boardwalk type area, had some cobbler, crashed in our ridiculously cushy hotel bed, and watched comedy central.
we plan on all staying at a hotel (as the wedding is not where my parents, his parents, or we live ). FI and i don't want to see each other before the ceremony so we'll have to coordinate the morning so we don't bump into each other in the hallway :)
I wanted to get a hotel room too but my Mother told me not to. I'm bummed because we'll have family and most of my BM's all in one house. It's going to be stressful but when Mommy speaks, I listen. My parents do have a pretty big house with a plenty of beds for us all but its going to be chaotic. I'd suggest doing the hotel room if you can!
My parents live in the area where I'm getting married and they have a really nice house, so me and half of my bridesmaids will be staying there. The other half of my BMs are from the area.
FI, however, is staying in a hotel. His parents live in a teeny tiny house an hour from the wedding and it would just be a pain to go back and forth. I think he might even be sharing a room with one of his single groomsmen (several others are married)
I'm staying in a hotel with my bridesmaids. We booked a suite to have for the night before/getting ready, and then my fiance (or I guess, he'll be my husband then!) and I will stay there on the wedding night.
The night before, my fiance and his groomsmen will stay at our apartment.
I'm staying at our apartment, my BM's will probably be staying with me here as well, at least two out of four. I sleep best in my own bed and I want to get a good night's rest. We'll then caravan to the house near our ceremony site where we are getting ready.
FI and I will either stay at a hotel closer to venue, or our house!
I got a hotel room and asked all of my bm to have a girls sleep over. A couple came over to help me out with some last minute stuff but only one of my bm stayed the night. It was fun though.
I will be staying at our house - I really want to get ready in my own space and don't want to have to bring all my stuff to get ready at the hotel. The guys will be using the suite to get ready!
I am hoping that FI will stay with me in our house the night before - I sleep better with him and then we can have breakfast in bed (served by one of my BM or parents who will all be staying at our house) and then go our separate ways! But he isn't so sure and may want to part ways the night before. Hopefully I can convince him in the next 8 months;-)
I booked a suite at a hotel for two nights. One night will be me and my maids the night before, and the second night will be us the night of our wedding.
I'll be staying at Mom & Dad's while FI stays at our place. We get a free night at the Ritz Carlton included in our wedding package for the night of, but I don't want to spend any extra on another hotel room for the night before.
Its bad luck to see the groom on the wedding day, so Im sleeping at my mother's house which is literally 2 blocks away from the church, the BM's will just meet me at my moms to get ready, I love how we'll be sleeping apart from each other the night before wedding day, that way we'll miss each other to death! Also, we agreed on not even calling or texting each other day of wedding either, so when I walk down that aisle it will seem like forever since we've talked or seen each other! So exciting!
I am planning on renting a house at my weekend wedding destination for the BMs and other ladies involved, and FI will have a house for the male crew. They can get the fridge full of beer, and we will have the pampering. After that, I'm just trying to decide if we should spring for a B&B just for the night after the wedding.
I'm staying at the hotel where the wedding is going to be held. My sister (MOH) will probably also stay with me for the night. All of my bridesmaids and I will get ready in that room the next morning. It's the same room that my new husband (!) and I will be staying in on our wedding night. Is that weird?
I'm staying at our house with the MOH (I think it will be easier to get ready and this way there's no chance of me forgetting anything), and he's staying at a hotel!
We're staying at my venue for the entire weekend (a farm that is a b&b when not hosting weddings), so the night before I'll be staying in the 1-bedroom cottage that will be the honeymoon suite after the wedding. It's SOOOOO cute!!
I'm going to be at my house, which is my parents house. Fiance moved back home recently to help his family with $$. We'll have a home before we get married but I won't live there until I'm Mrs.______. FI will be there though.
Since we are having a short distance DW (2 hrs from our home) we will be staying together in a hotel room where all the bridal party is staying.
My FI and I own a house already together and we will both be staying there. We are taking all of our pics before the wedding anyhow, so it really doesn't matter about seeing eachother that morning.
I am going to be at the resort the reception will be at and where I will be staying (in a different room...the bridal suite!) the night after with my SO
No idea yet. Since most of my girls are from out of town, we may get a room or two for us to stay at the night before the wedding. And then go back to my parent's house for my dad and grandma's wonderful breakfast before heading off to get ready.
FI plans on staying at our home with the groomsmen who are coming from out of town.
since his family is close, and mine isn't...I stayed at our house, and he stayed w/ family
I'll be staying with my parents who are closer to the church, and most BMs live within 10 minutes, so hopefully they can all be there on time. I may have the likely-tardy ones stay over for a sleep over.
My BMs and I are going to rent a suite at a hotel by the salon where we're getting our hair done. We are going to drink some wine and have a girl party like Carrie's in Sex and the City. lol
My BMs are all coming over to my place and we're going to do our nails and all that girly fun sleepover stuff. My fiance is getting a suite with all of his guys at a casino in our town. We don't want to see eachother the day of he wants his first sight of me to be a total suprise :) If I didn't have a big enough place my girls and I would definitely get a suite to share that sounds fun, it's not weird at all!
I will be sleeping in my bed at my mom's house. I sleep so well there and its always been part of the wedding ideal to me that I would get ready in my old room. Also I am going through a religious purity ritual and I am technically not supposed to have any contact with my FI for 7 days before the wedding because of that. I don't want to not see our dog for over 3 weeks (honeymoon directly after the weding) so I will probably fudge that, but move home like 3 days before. He will come up probably the night before the wedding and stay at a hotel.
Me & my FI are staying in this house rental near our wedding, and then he's waking up & leaving in the AM so I can get ready with my ladies!!! I'm so tired of people telling me "BUT YOU CAN'T SLEEP TOGETHER THE NIGHT OF!!" I can do whatever I want! And nowadays, traditions are broken a lot. We already live together so it's really not a big deal, plus he's leaving super early! :) So excited!
I just did a poll on this too! I still don't know what I'm going to do. FI and I are staying separately no matter what because I want the first time he sees me on our wedding day to be when I start walking down the aisle.
I'm not getting married where I live, so I'll either be staying in a hotel or in a friend's house (getting married in my hometown, so I still know a lot of people there even though neither my parents nor I live there anymore.) I don't think its strange for all the bridal party to stay together - I've had a lot of friends get hotel rooms or rent a bed & breakfast to do a girl's sleepover the night before. Sounds like fun to me!
im actually staying in our house with my FI...i just told him he better wear some sleeping mask and sneak out EARLY in the am to go and get ready at his parents house. i feel much more comfortable to sleep in our bed the night before and then get ready in my own space!
We are staying together in our room. We plan to get up together, have a great breakfast and a massage on the beach. I don't think I would want to spend the morning of our wedding apart.
not sure exactly how it will work for us, but i would prefer being away from my fiance for the night before the wedding. i know we will both be excited about the next day, and i think it will make the preparations more fun and exciting if we are apart from the morning on...plus, i can wake up as early as i need to without bothering him. :)
My husband and I stayed together. I didn't believe in the seeing eachother before being bad luck (especially since we had a first look and everything). It was nice being in my own bed.
We're getting married in the town that we live in and we already live together. We're going to stay at home that night. For me, it would be weird to go stay somewhere else when we already live together or to pay for an extra night at a hotel. I'm looking forward to talking about our excitement and waking up and having breakfast together, like normal. We're also getting married in the evening, so we have plenty of time to meet up with everyone and get ready in the late morning/early afternoon. I'll be getting with my girls that day at a hotel and my FI will get ready with his guys at our house.
My mom and I will be staying in a cottage right next to the ceremony/reception venue!
Iw ill be getting a suite with two joined rooms for me and my ladies.
