Apt girls... help (kinda long)

Apt girls... help (kinda long)

FH and I live together in 1.5 bedroom apt. We are actually 3 blocks from his parents and my parents live up in Binghamton.

We originally planned for FH to stay at his parents from Thursday night on. My mom was going to stay with me; Dad was going to stay with his aunt and my brother was going to stay at FH's.

I have a total of 13 BMs and 3 FGs. I am afraid all of my girls and the moms of the kids wont all fit in our apt, comfortably. If we utilize the kitchen, living room and my bedroom it may be workable, but tight.

I sort of all ready feel like a nomad b/c I can't get ready in my parents house like most girls do and I don't have family in the area to sort of take over their homes. I really want to be with my girls the morning of, but I don't want people to be uncomfortable.

Here are some pics of the apt FH and I took as we were moving in and decorating. link here

We have a local hotel but the rooms are extremely expensive and it feels so cold and impersonal.

Other option is FH's godmother/aunt's house, also in the neighborhood. Her daughter in a BM and 2-3 of the other BMs are probably going to have her apply their makeup. The house is very spacious, not to mention beautiful. Is it weird to get ready in her house since she's FH's family?

Thoughts???

FH and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, so we are getting ready in a hotel close to everything.

I'm not getting ready at my parents house simply because it's a bit far from the church & RH, and we're tight with time to begin with. So to make things easier, I've asked all my girls to stay in the hotel with me and my family (and out of town guests). 4 of my bm's will stay in 1 room and my parents and 2 sisters will stay in 1 room while I get the suite.....so in the morning of...everyone will pile into the suite to get ready with hair & make up........I think since everyone will be there, it won't be impersonal + you don't have to have everyone using 1 shower!! (that was big for me.....i didn't want any of my girls possibly having to shower in cold water). So imo, getting ready at a nearby hotel sounds like a good plan.

why dont you split it up have the girls do the makeup at the aunts house in shifts (if they have to go there anyway) and then get dressed at yours. Ask the aunt if she minds. She may think it an honor.
I am sending FH to his dads and I will ask if the girls will come to my house and get ready. They all live close but my house isnt big either. Good luck it will work out.
Just dont let this stress you out. You will probably want some 'you' time too with all those people around it may get a bit hecktic.

I had to spring for a hotel because I live about 2 hours away from our RH.

Sometimes in the course of making things easy for everyone else our lives can become a little more chaotic!
