It sounds really unpleasant for the groom and groomsmen honestly. Like you're in someone else's hair if they aren't really set up for it. I've been in a lot of bridal parties and would hate this.

Presumably the other groomsmen already have rooms at the hotel, so they could all cram into one if they wanted, but they want a bit more space than crowding around a double bed in a hotel room with one chair. That's reasonable....

So they are crowding around a bathroom shared by kids.

So get the kids ready before they come? It's completely obvious how to make this work.

Who would get kids dressed first? They don’t want to sit around for hours in dresses and suits. This is crazy and further confirms how inconvenient the groom’s plan is.

Do you have kids? No way you can get preschoolers and elementary age kids ready and keep them neat while you wait for 6 groomsmen to get ready.

I’m curious if OP or her spouse ever had 6 men come hang out in their little home for a few hours with the three children and themselves, whilst getting ready for a formal event. I’ve only seen this work at very large homes of the parents or at the venue or a hotel room.

Actually I might say yes or I might buy them another hotel room.

Just BIL, yes.

But this is the best solution. GIFT your BIL another room for this purpose.

I've heard of weaponized incompetence. I guess this is weaponized cheapness

Because BIL is spending the night with his bride in the suite and she's kicking him out so she can get ready there. I say if they're so progressive they can all get ready together.

Don't any of the groomsmen have a hotel room? If not, they must be local, right?

Have these guys thought through hanging out in your house with your kids before hand?
