Night before the wedding

RomanticBrownConfetti29600, 28 April, 2022 at 17:07 Posted on Etiquette and Advice 0 8
We’re planning on spending the night before apart BUT what time would that normally start? After evening meal? After the evening dog walk? Or just when you go to bed? I’m staying at home and OH is staying in one of our glamping pods we have on site! I know lucky us that we have this luxury. Thanks for your advice

    Whatever works for you! I'd just say err on agreeing to separate a bit earlier than your ideal time, in case inevitably something comes up, as you don't want to wind up having too late a night before the big day!

    My H2B is at his mums house the night before so he's heading "down the road" 40 minutes away, the afternoon before to spend that afternoon with his best man and family. I'm spending the afternoon and night with my brothers fiancée, some well earned pamper time. Xx

    We're having our rehearsal the night before the wedding at 6.30pm and I think we'll go to our different places for the night after that. Don't think there's a right or wrong thing to do though - whatever fits with your plans.

    I agree with everyone else here, its whatever suits you both the best. I am staying in a hotel the night before with my MOH, which is where we will get ready the next morning and my Fiancé will either stay at his Dad's or at our home. We will probably have an early dinner together first before we separate for the night though.

    Perhaps chat through with your other half and then just arrange whatever suits you both best.

    My now husband spent the night in a hotel the night before, where some of our guests were staying and didn’t leave till 7pm to meet up for dinner with them, so it’s really whatever works out best for you. Make sure you’ve done everything you need to together, if you’re dropping decorations etc off at the venue the day before amongst others things so you aren’t stressing yourself out. After that it’s whatever suits your schedule best! Smiley smile

    Honestly, there’s no strict rule, it really depends on what feels right for both of you! Some couples spend the evening apart after dinner or their usual evening routines, while others might separate right after the kids’ bedtime or even later. Since you’re lucky to have a glamping setup on-site, it could be nice to enjoy a little “me-time” in a relaxing setting before the big day.

    For example, my partner and I stayed at a place like the 8 Pax Antara Genting Suites by Silaslee in Genting Highlands the night before our wedding. It was perfect because we had our own space, could unwind comfortably, and still be close enough to share little moments of excitement. If you want to see what I mean, you can click here for more details about the suite, it’s a cozy option if you’re thinking about making the night special without actually being together.

    At the end of the day, whatever timing you pick, after dinner, after the evening walk, or right before bed is fine. The key is to make it feel stress-free and enjoyable for both of you!
