Wedding Eve Sleeping Plans

Maegan, on June 25, 2019 at 1:36 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 35
So it's an old tradition not to sleep with your soon to be spouse before the wedding night or to see them until the wedding day, however how many others are sleeping separate from their soon to be, the night before their wedding? I want to stay over with my maid of honor so then he will have the apartment/bed to himself the night before, he doesn't want us to be apart though. Advice please.

    No, we’re spending that final night together before wedding day. We’re also seeing each other prior to the ceremony. So no traditions here. To me, there’s something comforting and intimate about spending that night together, being excited and talking about the big step we’ll take the next day.


    Although my bff/moh stayed late in my hotel room. Ultimately I slept alone the night before my first wedding. Because of that, I saw the value in spending that night with my FH.

    We are not spending the night together. I would like to stick with this tradition.

    My FH and I will be spending the night away from each other and will not see each other on the wedding day until the ceremony

    Me and my bridesmaids are staying at my mothers house so we can all go to the salon and get ready together before the ceremony

    I’m staying in an Air BnB with my MOH and one of my bridesmaids. This tradition was more important to me when I thought we wouldn’t be doing a first look and I didn’t want to see him until I came down the aisle. Now that we are doing a first look, I guess it doesn’t really matter, but I still want to put off seeing him that day until I’m in my dress.

    I'm staying at the hotel the night before and he will be at home. He won't see me until the ceremony. I think it adds to the anticipation and makes that moment more special.

    We will not be sleeping together the night before the wedding, but we will see each other the morning of! We are going to go out to breakfast and invite whichever family members care to join us. We will also be doing a first look, so that tradition goes out the door for us.

    We're staying separately! We're getting married about 10 minutes from his parent's house. He'll stay with his parents, and I'm going to get a hotel or Airbnb for me and my bridesmaids to stay in!

    We live together already, but we will be spending the night apart. He will stay home and I will stay at the hotel and hang with any early arriving guests and my bff. The next morning, we will leave for the salon and the groomsmen/women will get ready in the hotel suite.

    We slept in separate hotel rooms and then didn’t see each other. I loved the idea but I didn’t sleep well without him the night before. I wish we had had breakfast and then gone our separate ways.... but then again it was fun not seeing him and having that anticipation build.

    Nothing will separate us. We will be sleeping together. That is a dumb tradition, in my opinion.

    Good Morning Maegan!
    I'm going the traditional route.
    We are spending the night before the wedding apart.

    He won't see me until I'm coming down the aisle.
    We both agree that the time apart will build the suspense and anticipation.

    I think it's a lovely tradition❤
    And it's good luck for the marriage, so why not? Can't hurt 😆
    I personally, think it's romantic to follow tradition.

    I want to be with him the night before. We can calm eacotgsr nerves. We are not doing a first look. So last he will see me is no makeup hair not done going to salon. Plus we have to drop off stuff for the wedding at the venue make are the know what we want. I do not want that to be all up to him.

    We will be keeping this tradition alive. He will be at the house with his boys, and I will be with the ladies.... The last night as official single people...

    We are spending the night together! We sleep in the same bed normally, so I don't see the point in separating the night before the wedding. If we had never been intimate before, we would keep the tradition.

    My husband (first time I’ve typed that! 😍) decided he wanted to keep it traditional and sleep separately. I was heartbroken as we also weren’t seeing each other all day the next day.
    I personally would have loved the time with him the night before. I would have been less jittery and more calm.
    He wanted the traditional route and I honored that but I missed him.

    We're sharing a hotel room the night before and will say our goodbyes in the morning (until our first look at 2pm). We've lived together for 2 years so I sleep better next to him. I thought about getting a room with my lady's but they're all bringing dates so that doesnt work. Throwing this tradition out the window.

    We have already been living together for the last 5 years, so we will be spending the night together the night before. For us we think theres no sense in one of us going to sleep somewhere else.

    H didn't want to see me on our wedding day until I came down the aisle, so he stayed in a hotel and my mom stayed at our place with me. It was really nice, and special, to have that time with my mom.
