Will you sleep separately the night before the wedding? Or are you ditching this tradition?

We already live together and plan to spend the night before together.

Yeah we are keeping this one... He will be at home with his groomsmen, and I will be in the hotel with my girls

We’ll be sleeping separately! Our venue is 20 mins from our house so my FH will be staying at the bridal suite and I’ll be at home. Honestly I WANT to stay at home, I’m pretty introverted and feel like I’ll need the night to myself to mentally prepare for the wedding! Plus I always sleep better in my own bed. FH is the opposite of me though, he’s extremely extroverted and happy to stay at the hotel. Also, one of his groomsmen was his roommate all through college and he wants to have that groomsman stay with him the night before the wedding as one last night being “roommates” hahaha

So this is a touchy subject amongst mt wedding crew. Everyone has told me I have to sleep separately from my FH the night before the wedding. I just don't want that. I haven't had a night without him since we moved in together, why would I actively CHOOSE to sleep alone? So this is still up for heated debate.

Sleeping seperate

Our venue gives us the whole place the night before and the night after our wedding. So the entire wedding party will be staying the night before! So I’ll be hanging with my girls the night before!

We will sleep together and spend the morning together as usual.

View Quoted Comment Since when do a person's girlfriends decide whether or not they sleep with their fiancé ? Hated debate, HAH! They should mind their own business. If you have been sleeping together and want to do so the night before your wedding, and wake up together, do it. They have no say.

I totally get that, I feel like once you are used to it it's nice to have them the night before to calm the nerves!

I'll be spending the night before at the hotel where we have our block, with my bridal party. And FH will be staying at my parents, because it's closer to the venue than our house.

What is the "First Look"?

Reply to Faith! What is a first look? I asked the same thing! A first look is a moment few hours before the ceremony where bride and groom see each other for the first time on the wedding day. It is usually pre-arranged with their weddingphotographer in a private place away from family and friends to capture that moment just for them.

Thanks KK!

This one is not an option since we're getting married in Hawaii and rooms are $500/night.....lol

We will be sleeping separately. He will stay with his best man and I will be staying with my family at the hotel.

Keeping the tradition!

My FH and I have been living together for over 5 years, and also working together for over 2 years.

Having said that, we spend A LOT of time together. So yes, we will be spending the night before the wedding apart. Not so much because it's tradition, but because "Distance makes the heart grow fonder" right?

I'm actually not planning to see or speak to him at all from the time the rehearsal is over, until the moment I walk down the aisle. I think knowing the other is just as nervous and anxious as me, but not being able to talk to them about it, is kind of exciting. Plus it'll make the moment when we do see each other for the first time that much more special.
