Wedding Where are you staying the night before?

[sunnygirl]

Hi girls! The title is pretty self-explanatory...where are you staying the night before the wedding? My wedding is semi-destination (a few hours away from home) so I don''t know if I will just crash in a family member or friend''s room the night before? Does everyone do the traditional staying apart from FI the night before?

At my parents house with my family and one of my best friends, her husband and kids.

Hi Sunnygirl,

I definitely want to the traditional thing with us spending the night apart and not seeing each other etc etc. I''ll be staying at the hotel where we are having our reception on the night before our wedding. Included with our reception package, we also have a room on our wedding night so I''m really looking forward to this ... it will be convenient too b/c this way all of my stuff will already be where it needs to be without too much fuss and muss on the wedding day.

Our venue (a ranch) has on-site accommodations: a few large cabins and some smaller rooms. Each of our immediate families is staying in one of the larger cabins and I plan to sleep in my family''s cabin.

That''s the tentative plan, anyway! We might reserve a third cabin for some out-of-town friends, in which case I''d stay there (because my family''s cabin will be pretty full already, where FI''s cabin won''t).

Thanks for the replies! I love PSers! Yeah I would like to stay away from him the night before too...will have to find someone willing to house me (or him) as all the hotels have two night minimums!

So far, it looks like fiance is staying in a hotel...by himself

And I''ll be staying with my parents.

I don''t particularly like the idea of him staying alone. It just seems like it would be lonely. But all the hotels around have 2-night minimums. And he was very worried about checking into a hotel the day of the wedding...since the check-in time is 3 pm and the wedding is at 5 pm and they could not guarantee early check-in.

I think he partly wanted a place to chill that wasn''t my parents'' house for the day of the wedding, since we''ll have a lot of family members staying with us and it tends to be a stressful environment for him. I just hope he can relax and watch tv or something, not pace around stressing out!

I''m staying at my girlfriends house. We will sip champagne and watch old cheesy girl movies.

We're staying in a honeymoon suite for 2 nights before our wedding and the night of. I had wanted to stay separately from my FI the night before our wedding but it doesn't look like that will happen now. I'm not sure who either one of us would stay with.

ETA: I should mention that ours is sort of a DW also -- we live 1.5 hours from the coast, where the wedding will be.

I asked my mom if I could stay there. But I have a feeling she''s going to forget and offer some visiting family member her guest room and I''ll probably get stuck on the floor in the office or in the couch.

MUST remind mom not to invite anyone to stay with her for the night before wedding.

staying with my guy in the same place we are staying on the wedding night. not too traditional or superstitious here.

I''ll be at my parents'' house - along with a ton of out of town family. . . I had to remind my mom that I would be there when she was offering people rooms - bride gets a bed!

He stayed with is parents, who live a few min. from our venue. I stayed at the apartment I was living in at the time, which is also a few min from the venue. 3 of my bridesmaids spent the night at the apartment with me, and it really made for a fabulous slumber party.
