Getting ready photos

Brianna, on September 20, 2017 at 9:53 AM Posted in Planning 0 14

I'm buying robes for getting ready photos. One of my bridesmaids (my future sister-in-law) has decided not to get ready with the rest of the bridesmaids. My future mother-in-law has also decided not to get ready with us. FSIL told me that she has a hotel room at the same hotel and will "pop in" whenever needed for photos. Do you think I should also get her a robe?

    Depends on how you want her to look in the photos.

    Even if she isn't able to get ready with you guys, if you get one BM something, you should give it to all of them.

    I would if everyone else will be wearing one, otherwise she'll look singled out. I'm not doing getting ready for my girls, but I have a cute outfit for me. And I commend you for actually buying the robes for everyone and not making them pay for it.

    I think definitely get her one. Like Michelle, I'm not doing getting ready outfits but I do think regardless of circumstances, if you get something for one or a few bridesmaids, you should get it for all. The exception being certain special MOH gifts I guess.

    @Michelle

    Really?! You know of brides making BMs pay for robes? On here they aren't even considered gifts but are props.

    Yes, if you're giving your other bridesmaids robes, I think you should her one too. Also, please don't have it monogrammed with "bridesmaid" or anything wedding related. If anything, just her name, but nothing wedding related, or just nothing at all.

    Yes id give her one, because like others have said if it's something you're giving bridesmaids then they should all have them. And they're mostly used for pictures anyway, which she said she would be present for!

    @kirackle I was recently in a wedding where the bride made us buy ugly $80 cowboy boots to wear with our BM dresses, get a french manicure - nothing else, and buy plaid shirts for her getting ready photos - which she told us about only a week before the wedding lol. I sucked it up, but we aren't even great friends, her husband is a good friend of FH's and I was basically inducting into the BP by default. I would have been fine not being in it, and she's not in my BP - but she expected to be. Cray.

    @Denise maybe she doesn't want to get ready with them for reasons that have nothing to do with OP. Obviously she wants to be apart of the wedding party and the pictures, which she stated. Maybe it's a big wedding party, small room? There will be a lot of chaos. I don't see a problem with her getting ready in another room.

    @OP Yes I think you should still get her one.

    Maybe she just doesn't know the other ladies well and feels self conscious getting changed in front of them? Or hear self conscious in general? I can't blame her. I would definitely get her one. She's in your BP, include her.

    I would get her one. She would feel snubbed if everyone else is wearing one and she is not.

    I would totally get her one too! If she's planning on popping in for photos, you don't want her singled out at all.. though I'm finding it a little strange she's separating herself anyway..?

    I have a crazy obsession with plaid so I got all my BM a flannel and got it embroidered with their title on back under the hoodie and the date on the left sleeve!
