So I bought my dress last weekend!! Needless to say I am THRILLED with it, and can't wait to show it off. I won't be showing FW my dress until the wedding day, but wasn't sure who all I DID wants to see the dress. Who are you all showing/not showing, and why?

    I refused to send pictures via text but I showed my MOH, a few vendors, few family members,and my mom who was there with me. I also showed them the dress on the model and not on myself.

    My bridesmaids, FMIL, some of FH's cousins and aunts, his grandma. Also my aunts and cousins.

    One of my friends who I wanted to be a bridesmaid, I never ended up asking, is coming to my bachelorette tonight. We havent hung out in a year unless I went to the restaurant where she works and I ask for her section when I'm in town. She has been a good friend, we worked together at the restaurant. But in the last 2 weeks she is like girl I need to know things, we need to catch up. She wants to see my dress, BM dresses, our vows, flowers, everything. Ive been avoiding it. I never demoted her from being a bridesmaid, I just saw that she was coming up with excuses to hang out and I never asked her. She is still invited to the wedding but I hope she doesn't push me tonight.

    My mom and my MOH were the only people who saw it on me. I did show some others pictures. I was just too excited and they asked Smiley smile only FSIL from FH side has seen, FMIL wants to wait. My 2 favorite aunts, and bridesmaids have also seen.

    The only ones I care about not showing the dress to is my dad and FH. If people ask I show them but the request to see the dress has died down by now. (I got my dress in May). It really didn't bother me that people asked... guarantee no one will remember what the dress looked like a year later.

    Mom, FMIL, and MOH are the only ones who have seen me physically in the dress. MOH took some pictures for me w my phone the first time I tried it on, and I've shown 3 or 4 people who have asked. I don't mind showing people (other than FH), but don't feel a need to, hence only showing to those who have asked.

    My bridesmaids mom and dad saw my dress that's it. My two cousins was with me when I got it. I showed my mom because she couldn't make it to the store. And my dad because that's where my dress is now in my old room.

    I'm trying not to show so many people, but when people ask to see pics I can't say no. I went dress shopping with my mom, sister/MOH, and bff/BM. I also showed my other 2 BM, my dad and stepmom, FMIL (who showed all her friends), and my grandparents. The surprise factor is kind of out the window now...

    Only my mom and daughter have actually seen me in it. I've shown a picture to my MIL and a couple of coworkers that asked as well. I'm not showing FH or anyone else.

    Oh and my mom was trying to share pics of me in the dresses I tried on (including the one I chose) with my aunts and accidentally posted all the pics on Facebook. I told her to hurry up and remove them asap, I was kinda mad but I know it was an accident so I let it go.

    My mom and dad came with me when we bought it, so they both saw. I also showed my MOH and also a few acquaintances at the bar when they asked me.

    A co-worker went with me to pick out the dress, and took pictures with my phone. I've shown the phone pics to a few co-workers that have asked, but they remain on my phone only. After the alterations were done, I had to bring the dress home, and it's hanging in our spare room in a white (non-transparent) dress bag. When FH's youngest daughter was here, I unzipped the bag part-way to show her the actual dress and showed her pictures of it, but no one has seen me or has pictures of me in my altered dress that is fit for me (other than the tailor at David's Bridal, that is!)
