  If this is something that is important to you, you could always have your FI check in the new room (since the boys typically have more time on their hands), and then while you're getting ready, have your BMs move all of your stuff over. As for the room you'll be getting ready in, you can talk to the hotel and see if they'll let you pay a little extra to check out late instead of having to book another night. It seems to me that it would be much more convenient to book the "fresh" room in the same hotel you'll already be staying.

  We are having our reception at a bed and breakfast and plan to stay there the wedding night but I plan to stay in a different hotel the night before the wedding with my MOH and a couple other girls because it will be about half the price. I will be doing the majority of my getting ready in a room at the church so I figured I would just check out of the hotel when I have to and head to the church. Someone in the family can bring my stuff to the new room for me.

  Counting the days until I marry the man of my dreams.

  It's not a big deal to me.  I plan to stay in the room the night before because then we will have a lot of space to get ready in.

  I'm staying at the hotel our room block is.  Personally, I would NEVER want to deal with moving stuff to another hotel on my wedding day.  I have a suite for both nights and my BMs are sleeping there the night before and will be getting ready with me in the suite day of.   I'm just hoping with 6 women in there it is not going to look like a bomb went off when FI & I turn in for the night with other peoples crap everywhere.

  I agree with PP.

  
  

  FI and I booked a suite in a hotel that is a 2 min drive from our venue for both the night before and the night of our wedding.  Our room will also double as the bridal suite / getting ready room because it'll be big enough for everyone to get dresses and have hair/makeup done.

  
  

  I don't care about having a fresh new room the night of the wedding.  It would be crazy for us to book 2 rooms and have to move all of our stuff to the new room.

  This...I would hate to have to move everything. My FI and I could care less...but we have lived with each other for a long time now. I got the grand suite at the resort we are having the wedding at for the night before and night of the wedding. My girls will stay with me the night before, we will get ready in that room, then FI and I will stay there that night.
  
  Maybe you could ask the maids to go back after you are done getting ready and "freshen" up the room before you come back. If you are staying there two nights and your guests are staying there...you are bringing in enough money to make a simple request like that. Good luck.
