The night before the big day....

ExcitedBride.com, 6 March, 2012 at 15:36 Posted on Planning 0 32

Hello!

Im staying in a hotel the night before the wedding. My mum and aunties etc all have their own rooms and Im wondering if i should be spending that last night sleeping on my own?

One of my BMs would like to stay and Im wondering if (im over thinking things as usual!!) its 'okay' to be sharing a room with her?

So what are you girls all doing?

    Quite a few of the bridal party are wanting to stay at the hotel the night before, I think I'll be sharing a room with my sister. There's no way I'm sleeping on my own the night before, it's haunted ?

    I think it's fine for your bm to stay with you the night before, my sister is insisting on staying with me the night before

    I think I'll be having my BM with me the night before, I would feel a bit lonely by myself ?

    Why on earth would it not be ok?!

    We have booked two rooms in a hotel for the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding. My sister (MOH) and I will be staying in the nicest room the night before and OH and my sister's husband (usher) will be staying in the smaller room. On the night of the wedding, we'll swap.

    Far better to have some company than have to spend the night alone.

    I stayed with my sister in her hotel room the night before her wedding when she got married last year and my mum had a room opposite us (BIG snorer and we both refused to share with her! ?) ..... the arrangements will probably be similar for my wedding but depends on whether her husband is happy with that and what the situation is by then (they're trying for a baby at the mo)..... if she or my other sister (other bridesmaid) couldn't stay with me i'd probably ask a friend to stay with me, don't think i'd want to be on my own, I'm very easily bored and i'd probably get all stressed without someone there to distract me!

    Exactly this. I'm staying alone, but it's because I want to. I'll probably find it hard to sleep that night anyway, let alone sharing the room. Plus I like a bit of me time in the morning to dry my hair with no clothes on (TMI! haha) etc. We will all (bridesmaid's and mum) start to get ready at around 9am together. But it's completely up to you!

    WSS.

    I'm staying in a cottage on the venue property the night before with my BMs and their husband/boyfriends/baby. They're helping to sort out the ifnishing touches the day before.

    Why wouldn't it be ok?

    Thanks for the advice ladies.

    I thought there might be some kind of un written rule that you were meant to stay on your own etc!

    Have asked her to share with me and she is over the moon!!

    I'm sure it's okay to have someone stay with you. I will be in the room with my son as I won't sleep with anyone else there (probably won't sleep well anyway actually!). I'm thinking of paling my son off onto my parents for the night though as he has a habit of waking at 5:30 in England!

    I'm staying at home, in my own bed. My Mam and possibly youngest BM will be staying over with me (but in the spare rooms) the night before.

    If I had been staying at the hotel, then I would have had BM or Mam staying with me.

    I'm really looking forward to the night before my wedding.

    I am staying at a hotel with all of my bridesmaids and mum. We are planning an afternoon of pampering, champagne drinking and girlie movie watching!!

    I'll probably share a room with my mum!

    I'll be sleeping by myself because i would rather have the space to get a good nights sleep, rather than lying there listening to someone else snoring or sharing a bed which would wake me up.

    I'm staying at my mum and dad's the night before - there will be my mum, dad, sister (Maid of Honour) brother (Usher) and his girlfriend. My other BM is coming over in the morning which I'm glad about as I was hoping for the night before would just be my family, I think too many people there would stress me out!

    I'm staying at home with OH and the children the night before. In the morning he's leaving when I go to the hairdressers and gettgin ready with his best man and then I won't see him until the ceremony at the RO. I want my 'wow' moment with the dress/hair/make-up but I'd rather be with him than not Smiley smile Others think it's odd, but we don't go in for tradition, really.

    So, as the others have said, do whatever you think is right for you ?
