Who are you (did you) sleeping with the night before?

smw42

Right now I'm staying in the hotel room by myself, and FI is in another room that he's sharing with his sister the night before the wedding. Both my mom and MOH have offered to sleep in the room with me- but part of me just wants to be alone. I'm just worried I say that I want to be alone now but when it comes down to it I'll want the opposite! I'll have an adjoining room with one of the other BMs so I'm not too worried, but I feel like I may be offending people by saying thanks but no thanks to their offer to share the room with me.

What are your sleeping plans for the night before?

i slept alone @ our house. I was scared and couldn't sleep, but you have a different situation because you'll be in a hotel with people you know so even if you get scared or nervous or can't sleep you can go to someone room.

My MOH and I are having my last single girl slumber party.  I am really excited and so is she. We have been friends since  the 2nd grade.

I just slept at my moms, in my bed, with my two dogs haha. DH slept at his parents, on a couch, as his aunt and uncle were in his old bed.

I'll be at home at my parents house. Probably either on the couch or the floor since it will be filled with family.  I wish I had a nice quiet night to myself the night before...

Heather822

Also staying at my parents house.... with the puppy!
FI will be home at our house.

Either our apartment or in a hotel room with family or friends. Haven't the faintest clue yet, but we'll figure it out.

I'll be at the hotel! Either sleeping in my mom's room, since daddy will be home with family or having a sleepover with my MOH!

I stayed at the hotel with my two sisters (co-MOHs). I thought it would be a fun girls night until they had a big fight with each other over who had to sleep on the sofa bed.

DH slept at home by himself since our wedding was only 2 miles from where we live.

Sleeping at the hotel with my MOH and we have been friends since Kindergarten so I am super excited

I stayed at home with MH. We live close to my parents and I was getting ready there, and they don't have a lot of extra room so I wouldn't have been as comfortable sleeping at their place. It was nice to chat a little before we went to bed, and to have a few moments together when we woke up before I headed off to my parents' house.

I'm not a believer in the "don't let him see you until the ceremony" stuff, and I feel the best when I'm with him, so it felt good for us to sleep how we normally slept. If he really wanted to stay separate then I would've probably wanted to be alone in a hotel room rather than be with other girls.

I'm staying at my parents house and FI is staying at a hotel.

I stayed in a hotel room by myself.

My BMs offered to do the "slumber party" thing, and MH was up for us sharing the room, as per usual, but I really thought that I might want that time to myself, to relfect, think, what have you. I really wanted to have the opportunity for some personal time on the eve of such a big day.

I was also worried that I wouldn't be able to sleep, so I wanted the freedom to have the lights and the TV on at 3 am if I needed to,

As it turned out, by the time MH left my room after finishing last-minute stuff following the rehearsal dinner (putting tips into envelopes, practicing our dance, etc), it was like 12:30/1 am, and I was exhausted. I fell asleep immediately.

clarereedy

I'm staying at the hotel.  Two of my bridesmaids are staying with me in my room and two others have rooms in the hotel for that night.  MOH can't come until the morning - she has to get her two children settled - two year old son to her MIL so she can bring him later since he is the ring bearer and four month old daughter to her SIL for a sleepover so MOH can party at the wedding! 

We are doing a cocktail party at the hotel the night before for the out of town guests.  So, I'll make an appearance at that and then we are having a girls night with fun cheesy movies and relaxing in the room. 

Just to clarify...cocktail party is only from 5-8.

I'm glad someone else thinks the way I've been thinking. Thanks everyone :)

I will be home alone in my house, and he is staying at our venue/hotel with most of his OOT family.

wagnerdi

Oh boy...this has been a sore subject. I'm still not sure where I'll be...My parents have been divorced since I was about 8, I'm getting ready @ my dad's house (much more room, closer to church) but I grew up in my mom's house (about 40 min further away).  I would love to wake up in the house I grew up in & get ready there, but that would mean extra $$$ for limos, videographer, photographer, plus I'd have to get up a lot earlier and more car time for me.  I want to spend the night before w/ my mom and sister (MOH) but as to where...we don't know...

Peacefield

Staying at home in my own bed.  Not sure yet if I want company or would rather be on my own.

I slept at my parents house. Got home from the RD took a shower, got into bed, watched a couple TV shows and wrote out some thank you cards and went to bed. I had a nice relaxing night alone (ish) since the rest of my fam was in the house. Can you just get your room alone and then that night just ask someone to come into your room if you are nervous/lonely?

njpabzy

I am staying at hotel near church - my closest friends (5 of them) are also staying but in a seperate room - we intend to hang out a bit and they will be there in the morning but I kinda wanted the room to myself for the night - hoping that i sleep a bit lol. FI will be staying at home with his sister, BIL and nephews.

I think that's the way I'm going to go- I just needed to know I wasn't crazy for wanting to spend the night alone!

dmoney79

i stayed at my parent's house....i had technically not moved out yet, even though we had our house almost a year at that point....
we really just both wanted the ceremony to be the first time we saw each other....and i was getting ready at my parent's house anyway so it was just easier to stay there...and then all the bms came to my parents house and we all got ready there....the church is like, 3mins away from my parents
he went back to our house to get whatever he needed after the rehearsal dinner, and then he headed down to his parents house and stayed there....all the groomsmen met there.......

berbm

I'm staying at home with my 13 year-old future step-daughter, Melissa,  my mom and my cat.  Melissa's all psyched because she will have to sleep in my room with me because my dress will be locked up in her room to keep it safe from said cat.  I am really looking forward to that night.  We'll watch movies and eat popcorn in bed.     

Julephenia

I know I can't be alone - I'll over sleep. I'll just have to be very clear that singing to wake me up (the way my mother so loves to do) is the shortcut to the nearest hard object being thrown at you. I have pretty deadly aim when I don't want to wake up.

NJgurl19

IN a hotel room with my girls i hope!

anglwolfie

I'm staying at the hotel the night before, most likely with some of my bridesmaids.  FI will also be at the hotel, probably in a room with his best man.

demarcosjd

I was at my mom's house with my MOH (sister) and a few of my BM's spent the night.  It was a lot of fun we watched Monster in-law and The Wedding Singer.

kasabby

We will probably both be at the hotel but in separate rooms. I think a few of my BM's will stay with me.

MissButters

Staying home by myself is EXACTLY what I plan on doing.  Coming home from the RD, taking a shower, and relaxing by myself.  I don't want to worry about feeling like I need to entertain anyone or make sure no one is bored.  So, I'll stay at our house with the cat and possibly puppy (depending on if FI wants to take her to the kennel day of the wedding or day of RD), FI will stay either at the hotel or his parents, and then in the morning I'll head over to the venue to meet up with everyone and get ready.

sk2342

i am going to be at my parents house with my two younger sisters and since we have an early day- our church is at 2 and it's 40 minutes away from my house- I am extending the offer for my 6 other bridesmaids to spend the night since we have early appointments for hair/makeup. I think most of them will spend the night, except for my cousin who is married with 2 kids. so it will be like my last big "single" sleep over.

jaimelody

You're supposed to sleep the night before?

jk. I stayed at my moms house with her and my sister and brother and DH stayed at the hotel with his GM and brother.
