Night before the wedding?

I’ve been looking through forums, but I haven’t really seen this be addressed. But I’m so curious about this! Couples that live together, what are your sleeping arrangements for the night before the wedding?! Should one of us go stay somewhere else? Or do most couples just spend the night together like normal? I had one friend that had her FH go stay at his parents house. I just don’t know if that’s what usually happens? We’ve only been apart 2 days since we moved in together so I’m not sure if I could sleep the night before if he’s not there?! But will I even be able to sleep anyway? Do you see if BMs want to stay the night (we all live pretty close)? I guess I’m just curious what other couples are planning on doing!

I can't speak for myself, since we won't be living together, but I can tell you what my friends did for their nights before.
Of my two friends who have lived with their FH before marriage, one sent her hubby to his parents house for the night before, and the other stayed together at their home and parted ways in the morning. The first couple was nervous about the day ahead, but did just fine being with their families, the second couple was very calm and doing just fine when they parted ways in the morning.
Ultimately, you should just do whatever makes the two of you most comfortable.

My boss had her husband spend the night at his parents house. She then had her MOH stay the night with her and they had a best friend sleepover deal. They had breakfast together and a mini spa day. They spent the day reminiscing and enjoying each other’s company. I plan on doing the same thing!

We are staying together the night before and then my FH and his boys will be going to one of the groomsmen's homes to get ready... my MOH actually rented a house for all of the bridal party to stay together for her wedding then the boys went to the groom's house to get ready.

I am staying at a hotel with my maid of honor and bridesmaid the night before. My FH will stay home (one of the groomsmen lives right next door).

We are having a wedding in Mexico and plan on staying together the night before. We could easily stay with family but are choosing not to.

We’ve lived together our whole relationship but the night before the wedding we are staying in separate hotel rooms. I’m staying with my MOH and he’s staying with his best man.

I would prefer to stay together and have breakfast together but my FH is adamant against it so I'm staying in the bridal suite hotel room at my venue, probably alone and my FH is staying at home. It works out though bc I needed to book the hotel room the night before anyway so that I can be guaranteed access early enough to get ready in there.

My FH and I have been together for 8 years now. We have saved for this wedding so it has been a long time in the works. I, however, wasnt sure on how we were going to do this either until we booked our caterer. I said something about just doing the ceremony and then just go right into dinner and just do pictures before everything and he said "no, i cant see you before we get married"!!!! My heart melted, so I will be staying at his mother's house the night before and him and my son will stay home. I am so excited to see his face when my son gives me away.

FH said he didn’t mind spending the night together, but I wanted us to spend the night with our respective besties. I think it’s great to keep away from each other to build up the suspense and excitement of not seeing each other before our first look! Besides, it’s our last night unmarried and being able to spend so much time with our besties for a while (two of mine are OOTers), so I’d also love to savor that aspect!

Our venue is out of state, so we will be in separate hotel rooms.

I think it's an old tradition to not sleep with your FH the night before (so he doesn't see you until the wedding). We are forgoing the tradition and sleeping together the night before. Our wedding is an hour away and we are staying in a hotel the night before. I just didn't see the need to book two hotel rooms that night (we're already spending a lot of money on our wedding), so we are just staying together. I'm the same as you. I sleep better with my FH than without, so that's another reason. I don't want to get a bad night's sleep the night before our big day.

I am staying at a hotel by myself the night before. I just want to chill, alone. FH will be at our house with Best Man from out of town staying in our guest room.

My FH and I will be spending the night together. Our venue has rooms and suites onsite and the bridal party is staying there too, so it makes sense to just spend the night together in our room. In the morning we'll be getting ready in separate rooms. I'm happy as long as he doesn't see me in my dress before walking down the aisle!

Our venue is about 45 minutes away from our house, and FH's family are all traveling for our wedding. We are doing the rehearsal dinner in the area of the venue so we booked our hotel room for the night before the wedding, as well as the night of. I will leave in the morning to go get ready, and the groomsmen will come to our hotel to get ready with FH.
