Whos staying with you the night before?

Suzie&Karl, 12 May, 2010 at 12:49 Posted on Planning 0 14

I will be staying at my parents house, with my Mum, Dad, Aunty & Cousin (who are both over from Oz), we are shipping my Uncle and other boy cousins to stay at mine for the night as they are staying with my parents for the 6 weeks they come over for, for the wedding and christmas etc.

My CBM says she would like to stay over which i would love her to, but i would then feel guilty as my bridesmaids would not be staying over either. It would be ok, but my cosuin that is staying over with my Auntie is actually a bridesmaid, so they are going to feel like i dont want there there and just want my CMB and my cosuin.Its not a major problem if they stayed, thats if Mum would be ok with it, but there would be nowhere for them to sleep, they'd have to sleep on the floor. They only live across the road from where my Mum lives, so its not like they are far away, and they can stay as late as they want and come over as early as they want.

Ive got 19 months to go and i'm worrying over silly things like this already! Its mad

    I dont think it'l cause arguements i just dont want them to feel like i'm leaving them out.

    Well one of the reasons why i want to stay with mine is that i want to spend as much time with my auntie as i can. But my parents are very easy going, and if i say i want to be left alone then they will leave me alone.

    I will be staying at home (parents) so obviously mum and dad will be there, brother (usher), and CBM. My OH is staying at his parents with his brother (bestman) and nephew (best 'little' man).

    I wouldnt worry about it too much hun, not right now whilst you still have loads of time and more important things to do. You will find the small details like that will fall into place.

    I am aiming on spending it with my bridesmaids but things could change

    I am staying at the venue the night before. On my own! I never get to spend any time at all alone unless I have to go away overnight for work. I actually quite enjoy it.

    I will have my Mum and MIL round for a couple of drinks in the evening but then I will retreat to my room and relax. I tend to be much calmer when there is no-one there to fuss round me.

    Mum will be back with my little girl super early in the morning so we can all get ready together

    Does that sound weird?

    I'm staying at our house and h2b is being shipped off to a hotel with his M&D and Best Man! i wanted to have everything I needed around me, not be living from a bag so to speak, but my Mum is staying the night before, and my 2 younger brothers. Am really looking forward to that part actually and to the morning getting ready with them and my BMs.

    It is hard to please everyone - it's impossible actually so don't! I know you don't want to upset anyone but if I made decisions for all the wedding stuff just based on that I'd end up with what I DIDN'T want for OUR day which isn't fair. It isn't practical to have the others there and they only live across the road, I'm sure they'd understand and you might be worrying un-nec about any upset at all - they would prob prefer to sleep in their own comfy beds and join you in the morning! If you want your BM there I would def have what feels right x

    Thanks everybody. Yes i have got more important things to worry about at the moment, but thats just what i'm like lol.

    I dont want to upset anybody, but your right, if they only live across the road then it shouldnt be a problem. My CBM is my best friend and i have to have her with me, she'll be the one who calms me down if i panic and little things like that. Its not like i'm leaving the others out, its just the wont be sleeping over.

    if they only live across the road then they will be fine! Tell them they can sleep in their own beds to save them sleeping on the floor at yours but to come til yours, as you said as late as you're staying up and come over for breakfast!

    Im having my family staying with me just. ALthought my brother lives in glasgow now so he's coming over with his new GF apparently and he said that it wouldnt be fair for her to have to go anywhere else to stay as she doesnt know anyone. It might sound cheeky, but i kind of dont want her there in the morning! I've never met the girl yet tho so we will have to see...and maybe she'll be ancient history come 5 months!

    I am staying at my Mum and Dads house the night before the wedding with my step daughter, who is a bridesmaid, and my CBM. Obviously my Mum and Dad will be there too. My other BM has a young daughter so is staying at home and will come round early on the morning of the wedding for hair, make-up etc tbh I'm glad she can't stay over as she'll stress me out even more, does that make me a horrible person?!

    H2B hasn't decided whether he's staying at home the night before the wedding or at the hotel. Part of me hopes he stays at home otherwise not only will I be worrying about the wedding the night before I'll also be worrying about my poor little cat stuck in the cattery x

    We'll all be on holiday in hotels for my wedding. My OH will go in with his usher as he's single and has a spare bed in his room and I'll prob be on my own. Might get my niece who is 4 to sleep with me. Smiley laugh Keep me company and stop me stressing as we can play. My big bridesmaids are with their BFs so can't exactly leave them alone. And my mother would drive me mental with the constant 'are you okay' and 'not long now' etc! The 4 year old won't really know what is going on and we'll just have a bath and play with dolls in bed! Might even get an early night too! Plus she is a good child that sleeps in so no early mornings either!

I just wanted a quiet evening with my mum and dad.... but you just know who it will turn out, crazy!! everyone will be there!! Ha. I just thought it would be nice to spend sometime with mum and dad as the wedding day is going to be so busy!

    I have got the world and his wife staying with me the night before. I am now sleeping on the sofa bed in the spare room as I am the only one sleeping on my own! I am actually looking forward to it as I can have my cat sleep on the bed with me! OH is allergic to her so she is not allowed into our bedroom.

    I have sent OH to stay with one of his best men (his nephew) for the night. I have got my parents, my brother, sister-in-law and nephew staying as well as a friend, her husband and their child. My friend is travelling from Wales to Kent for the wedding, She is doing all the flowers at the venue and her husband is our photographer so they really need to stay nearby the night before and since they are helping us out so much it is the least I can do. She knows my family so will be a lovely evening. I am planning on getting bubbly and a take away for us all.

    If they are so close anyway I would just make sure that they know they can come early and leave late. If I were them I would prefer a proper bed than the floor anyway.
