What are you wearing to your shower?

Now, on April 10, 2011 at 2:03 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 28

Hi ladies,

I was just wondering what you're wearing to your shower?

I'm going shopping next week in Chicago to look for outfits and have no clue what I'll end up with!

    Haha, I am not exciting at all. If I don't show up in jeans and a t-shirt, I will probably just wear a dress I already have. I would LIKE to go shopping, but we're trying to save money everywhere, so....I sacrificed a nice shower dress, so I could get a new dress to wear leaving the reception. Good luck finding something!!

    My shower is casual and low-key and will be held in June so I'm planning to get a cute summer dress.

    No clue what you'll get is part of the fun but be guided by how splashy it is going to be. Also, if time (and/or funds) will be limiting factors on your trip, I would suggest doing some homework to know what stores are in the area in and around where you'll be staying that cater to your style and budget.

    All the best!

    @Holly, I'm totally a jeans and a t-shirt girl too! Hmm, I haven't thought about a dress to wear for leaving the reception. I guess I assumed I'd leave in my wedding dress, what kind of dress are wearing to leave your reception in?

    @Zahra, thanks for the great tips!

    I haven't picked out a leaving the reception dress - I just know I REFUSE to wear the main dress because it is HUGE, lol. I have a few ideas, but I was thinking of sticking to white and going for a short, halter dress.

    I like the idea of sticking to white but having it be a short dress, I think that will be really cute!

    My shower was a surprise, but FH and my mom coordinated getting a new favorite dress I bought for our honeymoon to the venue, and they had me change after I got there. Smiley smile Got it from Macy's and can't wait to wear it again.

    I am not a big dressy girl so I am probably going to buy me a nice shirt to wear (that is work appropriate cause I work earlier that day and won't have time to go home and change).

    I think that it depends on the nature of your shower. I had my first shower yesterday and I wore a sun dress. But there will be more showers and some of them will be jeans and a nice top. Talk to the host and ask about theme or feel he/she is going for and base outfits off that.

    I love getting dressed up and will use any excuse, so while many of the guests at my showers will wear jeans and a nice top, I think I will be getting this dress. I am so in love with it.

    Not sure, since mine is a ways off (obviously) But I have the sneaky suspicion my MOH is going to make me wear a dress.

    For my shower I will be wearing the very chic yet bohemian white linen/ribbon/eyelet lace dress I bought for my California civil ceremony in two weeks. Will be wearing a 'real' gown for our large wedding back in NY for family in mid september.

    Chances are slim I'll even have a shower where I'll be physically present (believe me I'm not one bit happy) .... but if for some reason I do get to be at my own shower ... I'll probably buy a cute white sundress ....

    I actually had my legal ceremony the day of our shower (we got married 2 weeks later in Mexico and too many rules to do it down there). So I ended up dressing up Smiley smile

    (Rick's daughter giving me flowers for the courthouse ceremony)

    If I show up wearing anything but jeans and a t shirt they are most likely to stop and run me to the emergency room. I would love to wear a cute little dress but the shower is Saturday and I own 2 dresses One is the one I wore to last years christmas party and the other is my wedding dress so I think I'm gonna find a nice pair of jeans and a new shirt. We will have see tomorrow when I get to go near a store that has dresses.

    All your dresses are so cute! Everyone should post pictures after their shower!

    @SoontobeMrsD, would someone really plan a shower for you that you can't attend? That's horrible!

    @FMW Batman, aww, I hope your shower today was awesome! Smiley smile
