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!

My FH will stay at our house with the pups and I'm planning a sleeping over with my girls at my mom's house. I'm envisioning a Dirty Dancing marathon and lots of laughs. I love the idea of building up the anticipation since my FH and I live together.

FH and I are renting a large house through Airbnb near our venue. The night before we still stay in separate bedrooms in the home. Then the day of, we will both get ready in different parts of the house! I'm so excited because we will be very close to each other but still won't see each other!

We will be staying home together. I like sleeping in my own space. With the exception of any nights away due to OOS funerals and mini weekend getaways for me and my girlfriends, we spend every day/night together. My daughter and I will be out of the house before FH and my son are even awake.

My FH is staying at our house, and I'm sleeping at my sister/MOH's house with a few of my bridesmaids, which is where we'll be getting ready.
It's about 20 minutes away so this will leave me more time in the morning before hair/makeup arrives (8am) and plus I think it'll be nice to create a little bit of longing overnight so it'll be more of a big exciting moment when I do see him.

I told my FH I want to spend the night before together. Because if I’m going to be up all night anxious and excited I want to be that with him with me instead of apart.

We are going to get a hotel room near our venue and spend the night together. We live about 45 minutes from the venue and have a morning ceremony.
I don't want to start my day without him. In the 4 years that we have lived together, if there is a single day where we won't see each other first thing in the morning he has always left me a note ("Have a great day. I love you", etc). i don't think I could not have that on our wedding day.

We spent the night at the hotel together Thursday through Sunday nights for our Saturday wedding. We parted our separate ways in the morning.

We have our venue for the whole weekend, so Friday night before we will just sleep in different rooms. I get the beautiful bridal suite.

By my wedding date, mu FH and i would have bwwn kiving together for only 2 months. I booked the presidential suite at a hotel near the venue for the night before. Any of my BM can stay the night if they want. But they will all be there the next day to get ready. My FH will probably stay at the house or go to his mom's.

Since my fiancée and I are on both on our fourth (him) and second (me) weddings, we will probably just sleep in our own bed as we usually do.
When we have the big catholic church wedding in a couple of years that may change, but for this simple little ceremony we are just going to live our lives like we normally would.
Best of luck to you and whatever you decide is the right decision for you. Some will say sleep apart, some, like me will say it is no big deal, but you have to be true to yourself and your upbringing.
Best of luck and love in your future.

I agree. Tradition is overrated. We are staying in the same room...kinda makes for good comfort level.

We stayed together and it was perfect. Got up all relaxed, had breakfast, and then parted ways before the HMUA showed up.

Since our plans have evolved into a DW/elopement/family vacation, we will be staying in a condo in Key West with his kids for the few days prior to the wedding. My daughter and her husband found their own vacation rental, but will also be around. The day of we're switching over to the wedding hotel, where we've booked a separate room for the kids (15 and 18 years old). So I guess he could stay in the kids' room (or the pull out couch!) at the condo the night before, but we'd still be together all morning and most of the wedding day, packing up and moving and getting everything ready, so it would be kind of pointless. We will part ways before the ceremony, however. He and his son will get ready in the kids' hotel room while my daughter, step-daughter, and I get ready in mine and FH's room. I'm superstitious enough that I definitely don't want him seeing me in my dress before the ceremony.

We have been living together for a while, and we are getting married in a different city than we live in, so it will be pretty easy for us to spend the night apart. I may try to get all of the bridesmaids to stay together, or maybe I'll just stay with my parents. Not sure of the details yet, but I want to add to the excitement by being apart for a while.

We are getting married in Vegas and FH is debating crashing in one of his friends hotel rooms the night before so we don't see each other till the wedding. I don't really want him to cause I have a feeling he'll stay up way too late and I won't be able to fall asleep so we are still figuring that out lol
