    Cancel! I just don't see any reason to be apart the night before.

    KEEP! It builds up the anticipation and excitement of the big day. Plus, you get a night to yourself where you can write, pray/meditate, have a nice bubble bath and go to bed early.

    Keep. We're doing something similar to this!! We have a bridal suite booked for the night before and the night of the wedding. My girls and I are staying at the hotel the night before and my FH and the guys are staying at my brothers place in town (brother is a GM).

    I think my FH is super excited about this! LOL. All of his friends are out of state so they don't see each other much. It's funny though, because my bridesmaids all have plus 1's so I might be staying by myself, but I'm beginning to think I might prefer it that way!

    Lol our wedding party is pretty much family. His sister and cousin are my maids, and my brothers soon-to-be fiancé is one as well, and my brother is a GM and his brother and cousin are GM and BM. The plus ones there are my brother and his fiancé, and the other plus ones are out of luck xD My girls already said they'd rather stay with me on my wedding night and indulge in mimosas in the morning!

    Cancel. As the Bride I will be getting so much more earlier than him so we won't see each other. Plus I need my beauty sleep and the best way to do that is to sleep in my own bed.

    Keep! I think that this will be such an exciting part of the whole experience.
    I also feel like i will feel more less stressed since i wake up early and go to sleep at a decent time. He on the other hand, does not. Polar opposites when it comes to rest time.

    Cancel. We sleep better when we are together, so we will get better sleep before our big day, and it's not a big deal for us to stick to every single tradition.

    Keep. Sure- we already live together but the night before is for me and by bridesmaids. We'll be staying in separate hotel rooms and won't see one another again until our first look.

    Cancel. We've lived together for 6years now so it doesn't make sense for us.

    Cancel, we already live together and getting to spend time and relax with each other before the busy day ahead will be nice.

    Cancel. We will be sleeping in our tipi beside the house and having a morning wake prayer before the day gets started.

    Keep. We only slept apart though because we had to overlap our hotels since we got package deals and the 2nd hotel check in was during the ceremony so we bumped it up a day. Worked perfectly and I'm glad we did it.

    Keep. For me, not seeing one another all day until the ceremony makes it super exciting!!

    Sleeping together and we will not be allowing anyone to crash at our house the wedding weekend. It will be our calming space
