The night before...

mekiakoo · May 2012

I vaguely remember this being discussed in the past, but I want to see what all of you are doing again!

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you??

Do you think you'll be able to sleep?

What time will you need to get up?

I'm staying at my parents' house while my FI will stay at a hotel with his family and friends. My dad insisted that I NOT have anybody else stay with me! He doesn't want me to be too tired the next day. He's too funny- but I'm going to have some of my BMs staying overnight with me, especially my MOH.

We have to be at our hair appointment by 11 so hopefully I'll get to at least sleep until 8-9 am? I bet I'll be wide awake by 5 am or something anyway!

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? FI will not be staying with me. He has a football game the day before so I will go to that with friends and then we will not see each other again until the wedding. He is staying at our house to feed our cats and I am staying down the street from our venue with 3 friends so we will all be in the same place to get our hair done the next day.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? I hope so but I don't know if I actually will. My friends and I will probably stay up gabbing like in high school to keep the nerves from getting to me. Then also, I discovered that some of my friends are terribly with snoring so they will probably keep me up too!!

What time will you need to get up? I'll probably be up around 9am but we don't technically have anything planned until noon. Our ceremony starts at 6:00 and the hair people come around 1:30.

ceglare4 · May 2012

I'm staying at my mom's house. My grandparents will be there and so will my MOH (sister) and one of my BM's (cousin). We need to all be at the salon for hair at 8, so I'll probably get up at 6:30 or 7. Although who knows if I'll be able to sleep that late! My mom wants me to take a Zanex the night before so that I'm not up all night worrying/thinking.

FI will likely stay either at his mom's with his BM, or at a hotel near the venue with his BM and BM's family. Not sure on that yet.

BmoreBride311 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? I'm staying at a hotel in one of our room blocks, with one of my BMs.

Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? He is staying at a different hotel that we have a room block at. I'm not sure if anyone is going to stay with him or not. Knowing him, he will not sleep that much b/c he'll want to stay up late partying after the RD lol.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? I don't know. My plan is to drink just enough at the RD to make me really sleepy / less nervey, but I know that could definitely back fire and I could end up sloppy. Hopefully not though, lol.

What time will you need to get up? I still need to do my day of timeline, but I'm thinking around 7:30 AM. I think my hair and make-up will be from 9:30-11:30 AM, and I want a little time to wake up, have breakfast, and chill before that.

butterflyjumper1 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? I am staying in a suite at our hotel (which is also our reception site). My MOH and my closest BM will be staying with me in the suite. FI has his own suite on the other side of the hotel.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? Nope! When I am excited, nervous, or both, I can't fall asleep, and once I do, I just toss and turn.

What time will you need to get up? I will probably get up by about 6 or 7. We are doing a short morning yoga session before our hair and makeup appointments start at 9-ish.

LADY324 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you??

I am staying at my parents house with my cousin MOH and my half sister MOH. They both live an hour plus away from me so they are staying with me at my moms after our rehearsal dinner. I think FI is going to stay at our house with his BM and our dog

Lol my mom wants us to all watch a wedding movie together that night so we are going to fall asleep to the wedding date or wedding planner. She is such a cheese ball. Dinner probably won't end until around 10 pm so I am sure I will be ready for bed by 12.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep?

I am going to be a wreck the night before but I hope to sleep for 6 hours.

What time will you need to get up?

We have to be at the hair salon by 9 so I am sure I will get up around 7 to shower and have a cup of coffee.

arunkumar · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you? I am staying at the hotel where my BMs and I will be getting ready the day of the wedding. FI is going to stay at our house.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? No, so I plan on taking a tylenol PM. But just one pill because two would probably knock me out for too long. I don't want to wake up groggy.

What time will you need to get up? I'm getting up at 8am and my girls are arriving around 9am. We are going to eat breakfast and chill out before the hair stylist and MUA arrive at the hotel at 10:30am.

toomanychoices17 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? I'll be staying at our house. Not sure if anyone else will be there. My least helpful BM, my cousin, asked if she could stay with me and I told her no because she's needy and I want to have time alone with FI before the RD. The wedding, FI"s parents, my parent's and our house are all in the same town so that's why I'm not at a hotel. I wouldn't mind if my other BMs stayed over, but my MOH also lives in town and my 2 other BMs are friends from high school so they'll stay at their parents.

Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? He's going to stay at his parents'.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? Whenever FI goes out without me I have a hard time falling asleep, so I'll proabably end up staying up later than I want.

What time will you need to get up? I think 7, though I want to make sure that's enough time so that I can get to the church at 1:30 for our 2:00 ceremony and do the "first look". I want to run 5 miles in the morning, then shower around 8, get to my parents' by 9 for the hair/make-up people.

Nancy00714 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? I will be sleeping in my childhood bedroom and one of my BMs who is coming from WA state is staying with me.

Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? Fi will be staying either at our mutual friend/officiant's house with his best man or somewhere in Manhattan.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? I can totally see myself being up all night. I guess I'm really going to try and stay away from caffeine.

What time will you need to get up?I think we will need to start getting our hair and make-up done around 10 or 11 (my MOH took care of that detail) so I'll probably get up around 8:30 -9.

bridetobe71412 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you??

I'm staying in a large suite at the Four Seasons with my mom. We extended our "check-out" so that's where we'll all get our hair and makeup done the next day. We needed a place that could hold 12 of us, so we went with a large suite:

Fiance's staying in the Four Seasons, too. Not in the same room, though. We won't see each other or talk starting at midnight the night before, so hopefully it's on a different floor than our room! After our RD, we're going to meet some of our OOT guests out at a bar, but my mom has a strict 11:59pm curfew for me, so I won't be out late.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep?

Absolutely not. I can barely sleep when I have too much going on at work and I'm stressed out. I will be probably taking some meds to try to help me sleep. I'd rather be groggy from meds than cranky because I didn't sleep. I get SUPER cranky when I don't sleep.

What time will you need to get up?

I think our hair and makeup start around 8am, so I'll probably get up around 7.

BeachLover2885 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you??
I'm going to stay in the bridal suite at the hotel with my sister and maybe one or two BMs if they want to hang with us. FI will probably be at our apartment, possibly with some of the guys lol.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? nope! I'm already having trouble sleeping now!!

What time will you need to get up? No later than 8 o'clock, but I'll probably be up way earlier!

mbody · May 2012

I haven't really thought much about this yet. My friends want to stay in the hotel or have me stay at their house the night before. We all live close to the hotel (about 10-20 mins away) so driving in the morning won't be a big deal. But, I might just stay at home with FI. I honestly don't sleep very well when I'm not at home. Then on top of it I'll be anxious about the next day.

Umm, cegalre, I'd love to borrow a Xanax! haha! I've never taken one before in my life, but the night before might be a great idea!!!

ceglare4 · May 2012

mbody, they work wonders! FI and I went through a rough patch two years ago and we split for a week. I was a wreck and Xanax was the ONLY thing that allowed me to sleep. I really does like shut your mind off.

k8888 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? - My mom's house

Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? - Our new house about 20 minutes away

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? - Not a chance

What time will you need to get up? - I don't normally sleep past 8AM anyway so I'll def be up around/before then. My mom and I will be getting brunch ready for the girls before they arrive around 10AM.

Amanda1443994 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? I'll be staying at my parents house.

Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? He will not be with me. He will be staying in our new house (:

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? Probably not. I couldn't sleep the night before my bridal shower so I def. don't expect to be sleeping the night before our wedding.

What time will you need to get up? Not until 11 so I could sleep in if I'm able to.

littlemoments324 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? I will be staying in a hotel room with my bridal party FI will be staying I believe at a friend's house.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? Probably not...so I'm going to take a tylenol pm.. haha I want to be well rested!

What time will you need to get up? I will need to be up at 7:30am for breakfast & to the venue to start getting ready at 9am.

michelle11988 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? I am staying at the hotel with my sister (my MOH). FI will be staying at our house probably.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? I doubt it, I sleep like sh*t anyways in hotels and the nerves/excitement won't help. Hopefully a couple glasses of wine at the RD will help.

What time will you need to get up? Probably by 8 or so, I'll probably be up earlier not sleping. We have to be at hair/makeup between 10 and 10:30 and its about a half hour away from the hotel.

timsflower81 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? We rented a Bed and Breakfast with 5 rooms for the weekend, FI and I will be staying together in our suite. Our parents will be in the remaining rooms along with FI's 16 yo daughter.

Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you? n/a

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? I think so, the whole weekend should be relatively stress free, non-chaotic, intimate and beautiful. (7 guests at the wedding)

What time will you need to get up? Ceremony is at 4 and my hair/makeup artist is coming at 12:30 to start. I plan on being up by 9am but I will probably be up at more like 7. We will have breakfast served in the morning for everyone, should be a stress-free, relaxing morning!

AllyG303 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you??

Either with my BFF or my parents...crashing in somebody's hotel room!

FI will also either be with one of his groomsmen or with his mom or dad

Do you think you'll be able to sleep?
I can sleep anywhere, anytime. So probably. FI gets anxious, so he probably won't sleep.

What time will you need to get up?

Need to? Probably not until 10ish. What time will I get up? Probably 7am because I'll be excited like Christmas morning!

dramaqueen91087 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you??
We'll both be staying in a room at the same hotel as our guests. I just can't afford a second room.
Do you think you'll be able to sleep?
Probably not. I have a hard time sleeping in strange beds even when I'm not nervous!
What time will you need to get up?
No idea. Probably pretty early since the ceremony starts at 1 and we have at least 6 people getting hair and make-up done.

brandeeteer · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding?

I'll either be at my parent's or my MOH's. My daughter will be there with me.

Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you??

He will be at our house with my son.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep?

Probably not - I have a hard time sleeping on a normal day.

What time will you need to get up?

I haven't finished my timeline yet but I'm thinking between 6-7am.

lvissers · May 2012

I'll be staying with my MOH in her hotel room, FI wil be staying with one of the groomsmen.

I will have to be up around 8am. I definitely think I am going to have a hard time sleeping that night!

Melissa.hylton · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? I will be staying at my aunts house, the location of our wedding. FI is going to be staying with his parents or at our house with one of his groomsmen who is flying into town.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? I think I will be able to, we shall see.

What time will you need to get up? I will be up most likely around 8am. Lighting company is arriving at 10am along with my wedding planner, hair and make up, etc.

bells24412 · May 2012

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? I am taking a sleeping pill, so yeah I am definately getting some sleep lol.

What time will you need to get up? We have to be at the hair salon for 8am so I have to get up at like 7am. ugh.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? Prob- I am a fantastic sleeper under pretty much any circumstance so I should be ok

What time will you need to get up? I think we are going to start hair and makeup for everyone sometime around 830

LindsayMeg · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding?
In a suite at the hotel with my sister/MOH. All my BMs will be staying there as well so we plan to have a girl's night with pizza and movies.

Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you??
He will be staying at the hotel as well, but in a different room.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep?
I don't usually have a hard time falling asleep when I'm tired so probably

What time will you need to get up?
WAY TOO EARLY! Our ceremony starts at 11:30 so with first look photos beforehand and hair & makeup, I honestly don't even want to think about it. Waking my BMs should be fun.

sunshine9779 · May 2012

@LindsayMeg, I hear ya! My ceremony is at 11am and we are getting ready 30 minutes away. As I was reading these posts and realized two of my seven bridesmaids are going to have to be ready for hair at 7am. That should be a good time!

I'm laughing to myself as I read some of the posts and realize we'll be on to our after party just as some of your ceremonies are starting.

Rebis58 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you??
The hotel where we have blocks booked is actually a luxury dorm (I know that sounds trashy... but it's not!). My parents are planning to book two 2-bedroom units (they have two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a full kitchen). My parents will stay in one unit with my brother's family (girlfriend and baby), and my sisters and I will stay in the other. I am going to take a bedroom for myself to make sure I can sleep properly!

FI is staying with two friends of him in the same building, but he made sure to book a floor far away from me

Do you think you'll be able to sleep?
Oh probably. I sleep pretty easily.

What time will you need to get up?

It depends - if there is an event in the reception hall the night before, we'll be starting to decorate at around 8am. If we were able to do it the night before, I don't have my hair appointment until 11:00am

KatieK501 · May 2012

Where will you be staying the night before the wedding? At my house - alone (thought I'd enjoy some me time!)

Where will your FI be staying if he's not going to be with you?? He will be staying at his parents house. I have no idea how the sleeping arrangements are going to work there b/c his two brothers, their wives, and 5 children (one being a 6 month old) will all be staying there too). They have a big house, but that's a lot of people.

Do you think you'll be able to sleep? Not at all.

What time will you need to get up? Doesn't matter. The wedding isn't until 5. I hope to have lunch with my bridesmaids and hope they'll come to my house to get ready (I'm only having two), so I guess I need to be up by 11 (I usually can't sleep later than 8 though).
