I love the idea of all the girls being together the night before and all of the guys being together! As long as all of your ladies are your close friends or even better if they know each other I wouldn't think they would mind spending one night away from their husbands/dates. Especially since they are there to support you!
we did the sleepover thing for my sister's wedding and i'm planning on doing it for mine too! it was a lot of fun and helped us all get to know each other better.
I am having a 'Girl's Night In' overnighter at our hotel. Some of my friends are married and we have been friends since Junior High- their husbands understand our friendship bond is like... SACRED. So their hubby's wouldn't dare try to wrangle that night from us!!! The following morning we plan on having a 'primping and prepping' session at a nearby salon.
Funny story. I was a bridesmaid at my friends wedding. The day before it was raining. So that night we all went to asleep together in a King sized bed like a bunch of kids... the next morning- the day of the wedding, I dragged myself out of bed. My friend (the bride) mumbled... "is it still raining?" I grumbled, 'I haven't checked hold on'. And I reached the hotel drapes, I threw them open- and there was DAYLIGHT! All the ladies squeeled awake jumping up and down on the bed! There was sunshine on our friends wedding day- when the previous day it was dark, dreary, wet and cold.
By far, the BEST friendship memory we all look back on.
Do a sleepover. It is great bonding.
My fiance would prefer us to spend the night together, but I just LOVE the idea of a big sleepover with my girls. I'm trying to convince him to have a guy sleepover too; the idea that he could watch all 6 Star Wars movies in a row with his guys might just sway his mind!
I can't fall asleep when he leaves on business or if one of us goes out of town. I think I'd get a more restful sleep if we stick with our normal routine as much as possible... plus, I think it's going to be sweet to wake up together on The Big Day and share the last quiet, private time we'll have ALL DAY!
My cousin is hosting our girl's night--she's having someone come in that does massages and facials and all other manner of girly goodness. We decided a long time ago that it just seemed like a better way to do things--girls with the girls, guys with the guys.
Hm. I love the idea of a big sleepover with my two sisters (we're just having our siblings stand up with us), but I worry that I won't be able to sleep without my dude there!
Though my FI and I will have lived together for 2 years by the time of our wedding (yikes!) my mother would KILL me if we slept together the night before. So, I'll be staying with my sister (and hopefully her 10 month old will be with her hubby!)
Like amester26, I have trouble getting good sleep when the mister is not around. Since we're having a destination wedding, for us to have boy/girl sleepovers we'd have to get another room. I'd rather us just stick to our normal schedule and save the money getting another hotel room. Plus I just like the idea of waking up next to him on our wedding day. :)
I also like the idea of waking up together on our wedding day. I always thought I'd do a girls sleepover thing, but I'm just not sure anymore!
our wedding was an hour away from where we lived, and our venue had 4 beautiful hotel rooms. I stayed the night before with my 5 of my 6 BMs. One decided to stay with her husband and baby at the main hotel, and the only other BM who was in a relationship, well he stayed with us! It was this whole long drawn out discussion, but she didn't want to get an extra room for him and we had space soooo....he basically was not allowed to leave his room all night OR the next day while we were getting ready. It worked out great! we had fun hanging out the night before and had the whole place to ourselves the next day.
We're staying together! Why miss out on our last chance to have premarital sex? Hehe. It just may be the only thing that will help us go to sleep on such an exciting night ;)
We are renting out a beach house and the wedding party will be staying together- thats as close as we are going to get. I'm so used to sleeping with him that I dont think either of us would have a very good night sleeping without each other. A grumpy bride is not a happy bride.

I love the idea of a sleepover with your gals! I slept at home while Mr. Peng slept in the honeymoon suite. There were so many relatives sleeping at my house that I wish that I'd stayed with him. If I could do it all over again, I'd have stayed where I could get the most peace and quiet... that probably being in the honeymoon suite with Mr. Peng. But I was glad that I spent 12 hours or so away from him before the wedding... it definitely built up the excitement!
Those 8 hours (if youre lucky!) of sleep before the day of your wedding are precious! Spend them wherever you can get the longest period of undisturbed sleep! :)
I want my wedding to be completely about us together, so I feel very strongly about having him around the night before and in the morning, even when I get ready. I don't want to miss a minute of really unique and special time with him.
I'm slumbering with my sister (and MOH) in the room where all the girls will get ready. I want to save the suspense of seeing each other for when we're all gussied up for the first time! 
The night before my sister's wedding, I stayed with her, and was so focused on making sure she got a good night's sleep, that I barely got any! But getting ready the next morning (hair and makeup in the hotel room with the female members of the bridal party, a breakfast spread and chick flicks) was a blast, tired or not!
We slept together the night before and it work out great. I think because we kept our routine the same I was able to sleep like a baby. I was always afraid I would never sleep the night before my wedding, but I must have slept over 8 hours.

not sleeping together the night before. for tradition's sake. i will be a nervous wreck though!
We slept separately the night before. I stayed with two of my girlfriends, and their snoring kept me up all night! So be sure you can tolerate the sleeping habits of whomever you do stay with :)
I slept with DH the night before and we had breakfast together the morning of. Afterward, he went off to hang with the guys and the girls all came over to our room to get ready. They showed up at 11 and the wedding wasn't until 5--that was plenty of time for us!
we're planning to sleep seperately. I'll probably stay with my Mom. We're not incredibly traditional, but I think it will be kind of special and make the moment that we do see each other all that much more special.
I stayed in the honeymoon suite alone the night before, and my husband stayed with one of his groomsmen. It was hard to fall asleep, but I wouldn't trade our last good night kiss as "singles" or our first look at the alter for anything.
This is a great question!
I think we're going to stay together -- he's My Person who I want to be around when I'm feeling like a nervous wreck about everything else, so I'm sure I'll want to be around him when I'm feeling like a nervous wreck about our wedding!
I think it will be a good chance to relax and get ourselves centered and really focus on the meaning of the day before everything gets crazy. :)
We slept together. We lived together in the same town as the wedding, so it made the most sense. I am SOOOO glad that we did! There was no stress of making sure we had packed overnight bags with everything we'd need, etc. We both sleep better together, so we had a good night sleep. Plus, it was so nice to have the early morning together to relax, eat breakfast together, and double-check the day's itinerary. We liked having the night and morning feel like "just another day" before the whirlwind began.
We'll be in the same hotel, but in different rooms--him with his parents, and me with the girls in the big suite! I really am looking forward to having that first look at each other be at the ceremony, not in the morning. We live together and get to do that every day!
We haven't planned this part out yet except that we will both be staying at the hotel the night before. I would love to do a big sleepover with the girls, but I dont think I'd get enough sleep so it might just be me and my sissy!! As for him -- I am definitely putting his brother/best man in charge because I'm afraid that the other groomsmen might tempt him to stay out too late!!

We slept apart. I shared a room with two of my bridesmaids. It was really fun. We ate ice cream, talked and even danced a little. It felt like college and was a last hoorah to my single days.
I haven't decided yet, because both sides make sense to me. Right now, I guess I'm leaning towards a BM sleepover type thing, but two of my maids are married (or will be by then) so I'm not sure I want to ask them to leave their hubbies.
And part of me will really miss Boy... but it's just one night, right? We'll have the rest of our lives :)
We haven't decided yet. I think it will depend on whether we have money to book a hotel for two nights or not. We definitley want to stay somewhere for the wedding night, but if we don't have the money, we'll just stay at my parents.
Mrs. Sea Breeze just posted today about how they slept together, but she wished they hadn't so maybe those that aren't sure can read her post.
We're going to be apart, I love the idea of time with my gals, away from him to get all giddy and excited about walking down the aisle.
We're not sleeping together. He wanted to but I flat out said no. I want to long to see him again. I'm afraid that if we wake up together and then go our separate way to get ready it takes from the wonder and anticipation of seeing him all dressed up...I wanna miss him and then see him like a big present at the end of the aisle!!

We haven't decided yet, but I think we'll sleep together. It would be wonderful to spend a whole day together - wake up, have breakfast, get married :) ...
We're having a girls sleepover at my sister (MOH)'s house with all but one of the BM and me (my other BM will have a 2 month old baby by then!) The guys are staying at our place and doing their "guy stuff". I thought it would be kind of nice to make the first time we see each other on the actual day of the wedding be once we're all dolled up and ready to go.

We won't. I am a traditional kind of girl and while I'm not virginal anymore, I still want to not do that in front of the kids.
Now if we do the JOP thing first due to the situation because of our house situation and are already married, I won't have a problem with that. But the idea of having a girls' night and him his guys' night is more attractive to me. He gets to zzzz with me for the rest of his born days after we're married!
We stayed together, but that's just natural for us. We've been living together for years. Sleeping apart would have felt contrived, and been too complicated to set up. Plus, it probably would have meant putting someone else out, or making other people uncomfortable accomodating us separately.
We definitely chose our own comfort over sleeping separately, and I'm glad. I DEFINITELY got a MUCH BETTER night's sleep than if I'd tried to do it differently. And that's what I needed before my wedding.
We had a legal wedding the night before our real wedding, so technically the night before our wedding was our wedding night too. We spent the night together at home, although the night before that was our bachelor/bachelorette night, so we were apart.
I thought about spending the night at a hotel or my mom and dad's house, but I figured I'd be too freaked out to sleep by myself and I wouldn't get any rest. Plus I didn't want to have to be away from my husband and our animal family!

I agree with CP, we are planning on spending the night before together. We don't sleep well apart and have slept together every night for almost the past 3 years. I don't sleep well when he's not there, so I think it will help us ensure a good night's sleep. Also, I think there's something so intimate about waking up on your last day together and snuggling before the hoopla begins

I am just wondering if anyone is choosing to sleep with her fiance the night before the wedding (and waking up together on the wedding day). My fiance says that he doesn't want to sleep seperately the night before, but I think it would be fun to have a big sleepover of all of the bridesmaids, and then the boys can all stay together.
One more question.... if you are doing a "sleepover".... I am doing a destination wedding, and the bridesmaids are all coming with their husbands, so do you think that it would be too much to ask to leave their husbands alone (some of them are friends, so maybe they can do something together . . . )?
Thanks!
Ally
