    Keep! You have to have that moment of not seeing each other before the wedding

    Keep. We get two nights in a complimentary bridal suite, so I want to stay with my bridesmaids the night before since we'll use it to get ready the day-of. My FH will be staying with his groomsmen.

    Keep, I'll either be staying with some of my bridesmaids or family and he'll probably do the same!

    Keep. We decided we wanted to keep this tradition and as much tradition as we could so we're sleeping in different places the night before!

    Still unsure about this one, I know I want to do a slumber party with my bridesmaid and MOH; so it depends on when we plan do that; kinda unsure.

    Cancel, we already live together - why change things now! Besides, our wedding is small and budget-friendly! Saving those funds for a room on our wedding night.

    We're going to keep it. I think it makes seeing each other the next day more special. We do live together, but taking time for me to be with my girls, and him to be with the guys and then celebrating us coming together is super cute.

    I like the idea of keeping, as it can help build the anticipation of seeing each other the next day. However, given the feasibility of it, we may cancel for ourselves - we aren't attached to the idea.

    Probably keeping. The only reason why is with our venue it's going to be more convenient to get ready at my parents house, so my ladies are likely going to have a slumber party at my childhood home. Smiley smile I'm going to miss cuddling with FH though. I'm barely going to sleep that night regardless.

    My FH has already said that he doesn't want to spend the night before apart. Being away from each other the morning of will be hard enough haha.

    Keep- I only want to see him at the rehearsal dinner. I think it's nice to have that time to miss each other, and build up the excitement until I walk down the aisle.

    Cancel. Originally I wanted to keep it but with 58 days to go it just didn't make sense to waste the money on a hotel room.

    Keep even after 13 years are two kids it's the only traditional thing we are doing. I love the look on a groom's face when he sees his wife for the first time. Plus. I'm looking forward to time one with my two bbfs and my daughter and soon to be step daughter.

    KEEP!! My fiance and I love the idea of this. We are going to be setting up our hall the day before and then after the rehearsal dinner we will be going our separate ways and will not see one another until I am walking down the isle.

    I'm not sure what we'll do yet. Our wedding is at an apple orchard where they have three house we're hoping to rent for the weekend for us, the wedding party & spouses and other friends/family. Because of this we most likely won't sleep apart... but who knows.. we may find a way make it work. It's not that important to me and my FH has expressed that he does not want to sleep apart. So..

    Keeeeeeep. I want to wake up and know that in a few hours I’ll be waking down the aisle to him. He won’t know what I’m wearing or anything. Idk the anticipation will be amazing. If that makes sense.
