Dress shopping!

Im just bringing my mom. At some point, I may ask one of my bridesmaids to join, but my MOH and other bridesmaid live out of town, so I may either skype with them, or ill just send pictures, but they wont be able to come with me i think.

It is really up to you who you want there for a special moment like that. Many people and articles will say that it's best to have no more than two people to avoid having way too many opinions. The day that I went I just went with my best friend who will be my maid of honor and I invited my clothes aunt but she wasn't feeling well that day. But I did text her the dresses I was looking at. I would definitely suggest having your mother there if you to have a close relationship and either just your maid of honor or anyway you plan on making a bridesmaid. If you would like to and have a really close relationship with your mother-in-law you can invite her too.

You should invite whoever you want there, there’s no rules. I shopped with my mom only.

View Quoted Comment That’s what I was thinking I would like to bring my mom and my maid of honor and one of my other best friend if she can come ..but I Feel bad if don’t invite my other close friend in the wedding 😱

View Quoted Comment Right! I totally agree, I just feel bad if I don’t invite some of the bridesmaids that I consider close friends but at the same time I don’t want that much people there

I just brought my mom because my bridesmaids are all out of state or hours away. I honestly think keeping the group small was the best thing I ever did. When I found my dream dress, I was actually completely by myself and used FaceTime to show my mom. I’d just plan to bring people who you trust to be open minded, supportive, and who won’t make comments out of jealousy or spite.

I brought my mom and my sister because they are the two closest people in the world to me and I knew they'd give me the best advice and support. I didn't really want to make an event out of shopping, with champagne and snacks or anything like that, but we still had a great time.

Going with just the two of them was the best decision I made. Nothing against the other people in my family or wedding party, it just would've been hard for me to navigate a ton of other opinions.

My mom, maid of honor (who is my sister) and aunt came. When I go for alterations the same people are coming plus my best friend. You can invite some to come to find the dress and some others for the alterations if you want! It’s your wedding so you make all the decisions- as long as your happy go with it!

I took my maid of honor and my bridesmaids.

I brought my mom, grandma, stepmom and a close cousin. A lot of opinions but it worked out and everyone was civil! None of my bridesmaids were able to come with that day since they live all over the state. It depends on what you want and who you want to hear from.

I went dress shopping 4 times. The first 2 times were with my mom, maid of honor, matron of honor (who is my FSIL), my FMIL, and my grandmother. It was too much but honestly I loved having them there and they did get to see me in my dress I eventually picked (it was the first one I tried on). The second time was with just my mom and maid of honor and it was nice too but the last time when I said yes to the dress it was just my mom and I and we had the sweetest moment when I was all “jacked up” and they turned these lights on to make the dress “twinkle” and I looked at my mom in the mirror and she was bawling! That was the moment I was so desperately waiting for and it was something I will remember forever.

View Quoted Comment That’s something I definitely have to think about, but you know when you don’t want to hurt people feelings ? I feel bad , but that’s definitely true , just have to make my decision who I want there

View Quoted Comment That’s beautiful!🥰aww! To me dress shopping is memory that you.

View Quoted Comment How did that workout for you? Everybody was civil ?

View Quoted Comment I like that idea! Because my problem I don’t want nobody to feel left out!

View Quoted Comment Right, to it’s a intimate moment, especially a moment you want to cherish

View Quoted Comment I definitely respect that! That’s so true ! Bridesmaids or whoever that’s in your wedding shouldn’t have that type of negativity especially it suppose to be a intimate moment

View Quoted Comment My cousin asked if she could come and she was actually very helpful because she is around my age and all of my other entourage was older with old fashioned opinions. Lol And like someone else said, you can have other people come with to alterations too.
I know it’s hard to please everyone but you have to know what you want too. It makes it so much easier!

It’s up to you but I wouldn’t invite more than 3-4 because then the entourage’s voices get loud and sometime it’s hard to hear your own and voice what YOU love.


I visited two shops with my mom & sister, then mom & friend. But mostly went by myself which was fine by me.

View Quoted Comment Everyone except one. She wanted me to choose the dress she liked and was actually upset with me after for choosing what I wanted. Everything is fine now though.
