Can I allow him to see my dress?

Tell him that he will spoil the surprise if he sees it too early. He only have 1 Months and 17 days to go. Make him wait!!!

You can let him see it if you want it's not like both of you will get struck by lightning. But it's an old wedding tradition and I personally like to do all the old wedding things. I told my FH about my dress except the opposite. Like it has a v-neck but I told him it had a high collar and the dress hugs me but I told him it was a very large ball gown.

I showed my fiance a picture of the dress. He doesn't want to see me in the dress until the day of, but we'll be getting ready in the same house and the same room. And I wanted his opinion about it. I don't believe all that superstitious crap.

I don't believe in all those superstitions and wives tales. I showed my FH pictures of dresses I was interested in b/c I wanted his opinion of what he'd like to see me in. For me, the gown wasn't just about me looking like a princess but about being beautiful for my hubby to be. I want him to see me on our wedding day and think "wow i've never seen her more beautiful". So it was very important to me that he like my gown. That being said, we looked at some and he told me his opinions but once I chose my gown I didn't want him to see it. I think he's snuck and looked at my scrapbook but because I know the gown looks completely different on me than it does on the model I'm not worried about it. Your decision is really up to you and your FH. Don't let your friends influence your decision. They shouldn't get a vote in your relationship

It an old wives tale....you can show it to him if you want but it might take the pizazz out of it if he sees you in it before you walk down the aisle/

My FH saw my top 10 picks of dresses, he knows it's one of them. Other than that, he won't know which one till he sees me walk down the isle. I don't think it's a tradition you HAVE to follow, but it's one I prefer too.

I showed my fiance a pic of my dress too, a small pic I took with my iphone.

It's totally up to you. But my thought on it is: You're planning everything together, or at least he'll have an idea of what going on for decor, and what not. But the dress, It will be a surprise. In most cases, the only thing in the entire wedding that he does not know what it looks like.

My husband saw my dress when I brought it home after final alterations were finished. He also helped me try it on the nght before the wedding, when I was freaking out that it wouldn't fit.

I don't see the big deal.

I don't care what anyone says, all that 'it is bad luck' is crap, lol. Anyways, trust me, SHOWING him the dress is a lot different than him SEEING you in the dress. You will not ruin a damn thing by letting him see it. He will STILL be excited as ever when he sees you walk down that aisle to him

Seeing you in the dress, with your heels on, your hair all done, your makeup perfect is A LOT different than holding the dress on its hanger and him looking at it

Its moreso a tradition as the other brides have said. For me personally I dont want him to see the dress or me in it until I walk down the aisle. He is very involved in the planning process and for once this is one thing that I can keep to myself and surprise him with. I know the types of things he likes to see me in and he will be amazed no matter what type of dress it is, so I figured I would keep it a secret. It may make it easier because he doesnt want to see it either..he wants to be surprised as well.

My FH saw a picture of the dress.

For those of you not allowing your FH to see your dress, are you going with him to pick out tuxes?

For me I don't believe in the bad luck stuff or anything. But my FH has not seen the dress as far as a picture or anything goes but he actually doesn't want to. He hasn't tried peaking or anything he wants to wait until the day. It doesn't bother him one bit. And for the tuxes he has shown me what he is planning on doing but I don't plan on going with him when he picks them out. I told him the color and everything and he is good.

I am not superstitious in the least. I did talk with him a lot about dress styles he likes and told him all about the details of my dress. He didn't see me in the dress because I didn't want him seeing me as a "bride" until the moment I walked down the aisle, but that was just personal preference. It's different for everyone. Don't let silly, outdated superstitions scare you. Luck doesn't make or break a marriage, the people in the marriage do. @ladylee, my hubs was so funny because he would not let me see him in his full tux until the wedding! I thought it was so funny because it's not like I never saw him in a black suit before, how different could it be? But he was adamant about it. It was cute so I just humored him

I am making my own and make FH stay out of the room while I am working on it. He has only seen the picture on the pattern. I REALLY want to show him my progress because it is turning out so pretty, but I want it to be a suprise for him. He is being good about not peeking. And I made his outfit so I had to see him in his - hee hee.

Lol @ laura k. my fh is a super sharp dresser. i've seen him in a tux before but he takes a lot of pride in putting his ensembles together and i want it to be a surprise just like my gown will be a surprise to him. not like he would welcome my input anyways lol so there's no point in me going

@ Ladylee: I will most likely (sp?) go and price out the suit options and look at colors to see if I can find anything to match, and put deposits down, he might come but he's already said he doesn't care what he's wearing, lol. And his surprise for me for the wedding day is: I will not see the wedding band with my ring until he puts it on my finger, so we both have a surprise for wach other for the day of! ..Althoug I did tease him when we went to try on his wedding band..I told him he had to close his eyes because he wasn't alloed to see it! Lol, it was so funny, the look on his face was; "Huh? are you serisous?" none the less, I laughed at him and he put it on and checked it out (and wouldn't of saw the inscription if I didn't tell him to look!)

I am not allowing my FH to see my dress or me in it for that matter. It isn't that we believe in the superstitions or anything I just want it to be a surprise. I know that he has seen the pic though because I had printed out a bunch of pictures to take with me when I went to try them on and he went through the file cabinet one day looking for something and came across the pics. But I know that he has no clue which dress it actually is, though I have asked him which dress he thinks it is. I say this one is a personal preference question/answer. Keep us updated on what you decide to do :-). Keep in mind though that once he sees it you can't take that moment back. You might regret it later on. But if you keep it a surprise there is no regret. A month and a few days is really not that long to wait. Heck my dress is already picked out and my FH has to wait almost 2 years :-P.
