Where to stay night b4 wedding

[Mrs.Levitt]

Im not sure where to put this but I figure it may go under traditions. Where are you or where did you stay the night before your wedding? Did you stay at home with FH as usual or did you do (or planning to) stay away that night?

Our wedding is not until 7pm on a friday night, I wont have to much to do right away in the A.M. and am undecided on if I should just stay home (MOH and BEstMan will be staying here too) or shall I stay at my parents or get a room (where I wont sleep as well at all)

[Complicated Woman]

I don't live with my fiancé -- but we do usually see each other and I think we still will...

[maroki13]

I will be staying at home with my sister (MOH) and FH will stay at his parent's house or with his best man. The night after the wedding we are staying at a hotel.

[Marge129]

For my 1st wedding I stayed at home (which was my Mom's house) and my ex stayed with me... we both lived there.

For this time around, I'll stay at home. If Jerry's home from work, he'll be here, too.

I was living with DH, but the night before the wedding, my parents got me a room at the hotel where the rest of the family was staying, and that's where I got ready the next morning.

My husband's bachelor party was the night before the wedding, and I knew that I didn't want to see him until the ceremony, so I stayed at my dad/step-mom's house. All of my ceremony and reception items were at my dad's house (including my wedding dress), and my step-brother was going to watch my kids the morning of the wedding, so it just made sense to stay at my dad's house. My husband came home after his bachelor party and slept at our house.

[Heather]

I stayed at our home by myself. He stayed at a hotel with his buddies who came in for the wedding.

The night before, I had all of my girls over (BMs and friends) and we drank a lot of champagne and sat around and talked until we were exhausted from laughter. I kind of wanted someone to stay with me, but as I got in bed, I was relieved I was alone. It gave me a lot of time to reflect on the planning and excitement, and mentally prepare myself for the next day. I slept SO WELL that night. Of course it could have been the champagne, lol, but I felt so calm...

[ladedah]

I stayed at our home with my MOH....my parents and grandmother also were there...He stayed at a groomsmans house with my brother (also a groomsman)

[Robyn Lynn]

I'm staying at my apartment with my cat (hopefully--sometimes she stays outside!). FH will stay at his mom's.

[Lizbet]

I stayed at a hotel w/ my BM's. We had a sort of mini spa party before going to bed. DH stayed at home with the puppy dogs, so that he could take them to the kennel to stay during our honeymoon.

[Steph]

I haven't gotten married but when I was MOH for my cousin we stayed at her house with all the BM's and my aunt. My cousins husband stayed at a hotel the night before.

[labeadel]

I couldn't vote b/c mine wasn't an option. I stayed at home with my parents, as they were staying with us on the days leading up to the wedding (they live out of town). DH stayed at the hotel where our wedding was being held. We did not talk or see each other after I left him after the rehearsal dinner.

[Kim&Bob2004]

One of the biggest things I remember about the night before is crying myself to sleep. I was missing my Dad so much and I was so sad that he wasn't going to be there to walk me down the aisle. I don't think I woke anyone up, the house was full of guests and I was sleeping on the floor so a friend of my brother's could use the my moms bed and my mom my bed (I didn't want her sleeping on the floor!), but I was crying and upset. Anyway, I didn't get to sleep until after 4 am and was up and showering by 7am.

[gymrat]

Stayed in a hotel and shared a room with my MOH. Our wedding was in DH home town so he stayed at his parents' house. I am sure had it been in my home town I would of stayed at my parents' home.

[swtdl11552]

ACK!!! I can't vote yet b/c I just don't know what we are going to do. I think I will stay home & FH will go to his parent's house. On the day of, I think I'll get ready & have FH and his men come with him to the house about 1 hour before the ceremony....then we can get some photos of us with our bridal party....to cut down on photos to be taken right after...

Off beat question - if you take pics before, do you wear your wedding band during them for the effect???

[kenzies_mama]

His mother through a temper tantrum in the middle of the store about us not seeing each other before the wedding, so as of right now we're not. But I'm kinda ticked off at her atm so if this continues I may say screw it.
But I'm probably staying at my parents, my hair dresser is out in thier end of town as well, then all the girls will be gathering at the hotel around noon, we have to get ready there and have the limo take us to the church because there is no where to change at the church at all. I'll be sitting in the organ balcony until the processional starts.

Good question, but I'm not sure. I know some others on here have taken pics beforehand and will be able to help out. DH was a total freak about tradition and didn't want to see me before and would NOT have wanted to wear our rings before the ceremony!

[Jacqueline]

i will be with mum and dad my sister and my girls for the last time as a campbell staying the night in the room i grow up in and spent so much of a happy child hood there it means alot to me to leave from there i would not want to leave from any where else

[justnmary]

I will be staying at our house(fh and mine), he will be going by his parents house. I requested this so my MatronOH will spend the night by me and NOT BE LATE FOR THE WEDDING! She is chronicly (sp?) late...she was late for her own rehearsal dinner!

[Jennifer]

I said at parents house but now that I think about it...my MOH and I actually stayed at my apartment and my DH stayed at the place where he was living at the time. I had just moved in to our apartment that week and lived there alone the week of the wedding.

[weddingadvisor]

I can't answer your poll correctly.

I will be staying at home, but not with FI. He will be staying at his friend's house nearby. We will meet up at the wedding location.

[555Ann555]

I didn't see this poll first time around...

I stayed at the hotel we were having the reception in, then we stayed there together for the two nights following the wedding.

I didn't want to stay at my home because I knew the photographer was coming to take the 'getting ready photos' and I hadn't done much housework and I didn't want to stay at my mums because I hadn't lived with her for 10 yrs & all the people & noise would have driven me crazy!

[AngelRoseFyre]

I am going to stay at home with FH the night before. We know it is untraditional, and it is supposidly 'bad luck' to see the bride before the wedding, but my dad walked my mom down the isle at their wedding, and they have been happily married for over 25 years years now, so evidentally, my family is immune to that superstition. Anyway what is really comes down to is, I want a good night sleep and to be comfortable the night before the wedding, and i am most comfortable sleeping next to my fiance, so thats what we decided to do.

I am also stay at my apartment with my friends(female).

[BJC777SRL]

I didn't vote because I haven't decided this one yet...although I am leaning towards just staying at home with my man...cause I'm not used to sleeping without him and I want to be well rested on THE day!
