    Traditional! FH actually booked a room at the hotel I'll be staying at the night before (closest one to our venue), but still staying separate

    Haven’t thought much about this..honestly it probably will be the traditional route tho considering family and my best friend/maid of honor will be in town.

    Modern. I am so glad we shared a room. I cried myself to sleep in his arms (did not have a good time with my guests). If I had been alone I probably would have gotten even less sleep than I did.

    Going traditional! My MOH and I are having a bachelorette spa day after the rehearsal brunch and we'll end the night watching Disney movies and having a sleepover!

    Traditional. Not sure if we'll be in rooms all to ourselves or with our Wedding Party members just yet, but we definitely will not be bunking together that night, nor seeing each other until I start walking down that aisle the next day.

    Hahaha we're definitely going to try! Day of the wedding, we're both going to be arriving to the venue at different times so at least that'll be easy for my sister to coordinate with his BM so we can avoid seeing each other until first looks

    We will all be staying in a hotel. My FH, myself, and one of my co-MOHs only live about 1hr 30 mins away from our venue, but the rest of our wedding party, and our families are from a decent traveling distance, and are quite spread out, so many will be staying overnight in a hotel. The wedding party will all be staying in a hotel for the weekend. I didn't want to have to spend too much time in the car on the day of, and I wanted the ease of staying close the day before, especially since we'll be setting up, and greeting our many out-of-town guests.

    Probably Traditional, I have quite a few out of town bridesmaids as he has just as many out of town groomsmen, so we'll sleep separately, and it'll make us more excited.

    Traditional. FH and I are each getting separate rooms at our venue. my bms and possibly mother (minus my matron of honor) will stay the night with me. he is undecided weather to see if the gm want to stay with him. he worries he wont get any sleep lol and he keeps saying this is his last ever night to sleep alone (except he hasn't slept alone in nearly 5 years so.. lol

    Traditional! We don’t live together and we don’t sleep together now so We won’t be together the night before. Even ignore we were to have that be a normal thing, I think it’s a good thing to spend the day before the wedding apart so it makes it even more special to see them the next day at the wedding. Builds the anticipation!
