So hold on a second. If you don't know that you're going to your shower until you get there, how will you have a dress on hand and ready to wear? Will you just be carrying around a white dress in your purse until then?
People are asking because logistically, this whole "changing your outfit once you get to the shower" thing doesn't make sense.
I am doing the same thing. I chose a dress that I liked on renttherunway.com. My mom ended up going online and renting the dress I like under her own account. I have no idea when the dress was ordered and have no idea when the shower is.
I will still be surprised and will have something nice to change into. Who knows I could end up showing up to my bridal shower in sweatpants (it's cold where I am).
On a side note - is white a color you wear often? With showers, bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinner, engagement pictures, etc... there are so many events you'll want to be bridal and wear white to. But do you need 5 or 6 white dresses in your closet? I bought one dress that was very simple and styled it differently for each event. Personally, I don't wear white often enough to justify buying a dress each occasion.
This is the only white dress I have. I don't wear white that often, but I'd like more than 1 white dress because like you said, I'll have a few occasions where I can wear white.
As far as this 'surprise' that everyone is confused about. I don't know when it is. I know there's a shower, because duh. I know my mom and bridal party are taking care of that. I honestly don't think it's weird that this is how it's happening. I really thought it was normal. I don't know when it is, I want to get a dress now so I can still pick out what I want in case it's soon. The dress in my avatar is my back up dress.
Also, I'm not sure where I was pretending that I knew nothing about the shower. I know it's being planned, and that's the extent of my knowledge. And I'm open about giving my MOH a dress for me for the shower because I want to pick my outfit.
