    Orginally I was going to have my MOH staying over with her to little girls age 4 and 6 staying over the night before the girls are also my FG. But we had a trial run last weekend and it was a nightmare the girls didn't settle until 3.30am and then was up at normal time for them at 6.45am. I also have a little girl 4 years old and she was up as well.
    So after speaking to MOH we have come to the decission that she will stay at hers and come to me for 8am so we can all get some sleep.
    I told H2B that she was no longer staying the night and after speaking about it have come to the conclusion that it will make things easier all round if he stays at home the night before.
    Is anyone ells allowing H2B to stay the night before ?
    I dont know if i going to be missing out on some of the excitment by letting him stay

    I'm not making him leave - I'm staying at the hotel instead and he's staying at home. I will see him the day before as he's only working 9-12 but not the night before/morning of :o)

    We're sticking to the tradition of not seeing each other night before. However, ours is also doable as I'm planning on staying night before in hotel where we're getting married.
    Mainly as easier, having hair/makeup/dress etc all there in the morning and no worries about transporting my dress etc! And also as may bank hol, weather may be an issue... but also cause we are getting married at 12, means once im awake (so all night no doubt!) im there i can just be there you know.. my MOH will stay night before with me, and then my other BM and flower girl will come early morning as she's only 3 so as you know it might be a nightmare sleepover!

    we're both staying at the hotel (venue) the night before but in separate rooms! As part of the deal we managed to get 2 executive rooms for free, so they've agreed to let me have the bridal suite (which they'll add camp beds for bm's) and he gets another suite for best man. We'll be staying separate though - he can go to the restaurant for dinner, we have a girls night in - they deliver chick flicks, tapas dinner, etc to the room! xx

    We're spending the night apart, not sure on the details yet though but I think it adds to the build up of getting married. I'm not 'making him' or 'allowing him' to do anything though, because he's my H2B not my son.

    We're spending the night together as I don't think our son would settle without both of us in the house, but he's leaving to go to his BM's before I get ready so he won't see me in my dress until we get married

    May end up separate places the night before just because he'll want to sleep in and I'll need to get ready early. But I agree with Evearella on the traditional aspect of it.

    We're spending the night apart, but we're not sure who is staying where yet lol, we're getting married in the town centre, so need to decide whether it would be cheaper for us to hotel it or get cars down the morning/afternoon whenever. I suggested booting him out for a fortnight, and not seeing each other like on DTTB, he didn't like that idea one bit, he informed me he has needs and there's no way he could 'go that long' Nice to know where his priorities are hahaha, but yeah, we're definately having at least the night before apart, I think I wanna spend it with my MOH anyway... will just have to try to avoid getting the wine out

    We're spending the night apart too as for me, it adds to the excitement a little bit more but it is each to their own. He's going to his Mums for the night and I'm havin a girly night in with my BM and another friend of ours. My son will be with me for the night too but will be picked up by h2b's dad early the next morning so I can get ready in peace and h2b can have some time with our son. xx

    We will probably spend the night apart however unsure of houses etc, will worry about that nearer the time. I'll probably end up in my mums though and he will either stay at our house or in his brothers.

    I'm staying at my mum's the night before because she knows how to keep me calm and has 2 bathrooms and is only 5 mins from the church lol H2B is staying at home with our eldest son for some male bonding time and then dropping him and moh to my mum's in the morning of the wedding. My H2B is one for traditions and wanted us to be apart the night before but I think its more for the build up to it and we'll be texting each other right til we fall asleep anyway hehe x

    I'm staying in the hotel, he's staying at home, it's the only practical option for us really. Family and BMs are all travelling, so will all be in the hotel the night before anyway, I'd have to join them in the morning (there's not enough room in our house for us all to get ready there!) so it just makes sense. I do like the tradition and mystery of being apart, aside from anything, it's nice to think the first time he'll see me on our wedding day is when I'm all kitted out, rather than rolling into the bathroom with granny pants and bed hair as usual!

    me and the bridesmaids are staying at mine and h2b is going to his parents. it's easier that way as then he can get ready with his bro who is best man and i can get ready knowing he wont ruin the surprise of seeing anything that im wearing. it is a bit of a daft tradition but i think it makes it that bit more special when he see's you walking up the aisle (or down the stairs in my case hahaha

    We got married 130 miles from home so stayed in a hotel the night before, but had separate rooms. We went out with some of the guests for a meal and drinks first - and eventually got back to the hotel in the early hours. I didn't 'make him' have a different room because he's a grown man and my equal, not a child!!

    On the day of the wedding it was better that he wasn't in the same room - as I had an easier time getting last minute things done and not bumping into him - and he moved into his brother's room to get ready, as he was best man.

    We had a traditional wedding so it was good to stick to traditions like this, and not see each other before the wedding.
    Evearella - don't know where you got the idea that this tradition was only used in arranged marriages. It's definitely a very old tradition for English marriages lol.

    What we wanted to do was for me to stay at the venue, with my girls and the MOH,but no way are we all going to fit in there so decided to ensure we have it for getting ready we would book it as single occupancy, and we are staying at home and having a girly night, doing nails etc and then H2B can make use of the hotel room.

    I'm spending the night before at home as I want to leave from my mam & dads house in the traditional wedding car. My OH is coming home after work to collect our son and his belongings to stay at the hotel the night before. However, when I mentioned last night about seeing him after work that night before he goes to the hotel, he had a full on fit & told me that I better be elsewhere as he couldn't see me that day before!! Haha!! I'm being evicted whilst he collects his stuff!x

    It did cross my mind that I could get the dress in the room on the Friday night and then thought poop, I cannot as he will have a peek at it. What I might do though is in the morning pop over there after he has gone and put the dresses in there, then go and get my hair done and go back.

    We're breaking traditions and staying together the night before, then i will be leaving early to get ready at my mams house, and he will be leaving from our flat.
    Both sets of parents are trying to persuade us to stay with them instead, but we're adamant on staying together! x

    I'll be staying at the hotel and he will stay home with little man. it is our best solution: little man can sleep in his room like usual, easier for H2B's family to turn up at ours in the morning, and I will have plenty of free time to be gorgeous for our big day :-) Either way, you need to decide what is best fro everyone with a minimum compromises...
