[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How big is your house? My house is not big enough for this, 2000 sq. ft. 2 bathrooms. I don't like people in my bedroom or bathroom, so, this would be a hard no for me.[/quote]

From the original post, it sounds like OP has a smaller house as well.  If there is no hotel room for the groomsmen to get ready, where are they all staying?  Are they local?  Is DH the best man?  I would be inclined to allow it, but 100% put it on DH to clean, provide food, etc.  Maybe you and the kids could even clear out and get a hotel room in the block to get ready.[/quote]
Maybe one of the groomsmen could get a room in the block instead of expecting a family to clear out for them.[/quote]

Again, do you think they actually just need to line up for the bathroom and six grown men should sit on a double bed while taking turns?

This is about having a space to hang *after* they're showered and shaved. Like a living room with a couch or something. I suppose they could hang out in their hotel lobby instead, but man, it would be cold to say that. I have a 1500 sq ft house with only 1.5 bathrooms and I wouldn't blink at this request. [/quote]

Ok, but there will still only be one bathroom to share amongst the goomsman at the house.  Where are all of these guys staying?  As a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding we had two connecting rooms in the wedding hotel to spread out and get ready.  It was fun.  But maybe money is an issue here, so in that case sure OP could do the kind thing and host.[/quote]

What is with the bathroom fixation??? They aren’t doing hair and makeup I assume. They’ll arrive showered and probably even dressed. They just want to hang out. I honestly don’t get the big deal. [/quote]

Half the replies suggest the guys come over and throw the football around so yeah, they will need to clean up and change. [/quote]
