    Nice to have! I ordered nice, quality robes for all of us, not monogrammed or anything. I want the cute pics but also it’s something they can wear afterwards.

    I say must have! But I love photos. You can find a bundle for cheap on Etsy.

    Nice to have. I'm planning to get matching robes for my ladies and since I'm splurging on a photographer, I would dearly love to have these photos with my closest friends to look back on. I've never had a professional photographer for ANYTHING before and this would mean the world to me.

    For sure nice to have...even if you have the budget. My wedding party is super small so matching robes won't do much and I don't know how many times after a wedding the robes would be used. I mean I would use mine over and over because I love robes but that is just me. I know friends of mine have worn them once and then thrown them in a drawer.

    I personally am not a fan of robes as gifts. I have been a bridesmaid many times and have 3 robes— which are all at the goodwill now... Sorry! One had my name on the back, one had my friend’s wedding stuff on it, one was a color I wish never to see on my body again. HA!

    I would say they’re a “nice to have”. I was just in a wedding and we all got matching robes. As cute as they are, it will have limited use since I’m not an avid robe wearer.

    Not necessary - a bit extra in my opinion.
