Do you show people your dress?

Random thought... Do you show people your dress when they ask? Or are you keeping it a total surprise? (This doesn't count FH/FW of course) Personally, I don't mind showing people mine. I think that when I'm all done up in hair, makeup, veil, and accessories it's completely different, so I don't...

Personally, I don't mind showing people mine. I think that when I'm all done up in hair, makeup, veil, and accessories it's completely different, so I don't mind people knowing what my dress looks like.

What about you guys?!

    So far I've shown everyone who has come into the house. Including FH. Haha. I just couldn't help myself. I mean, it will look different on and properly fitted so it's not taking away the complete surprise.

    Only you all and those who were with me when I got it (mom and siblings). I liked keeping it a surprise because it drove everyone in my extended family crazy.

    My BMs and my mom saw the dress beforehand but I kept it a surprise for everyone else.

    For me, it depends on which one I end up with. I have two ideas in mind, one fairly traditional, and I'd be glad to show that off, but one would really be fairly specific to some of the unique details of the wedding and I wouldn't want to give it all away, but I also know some people would have a different opinion on it no matter how much I love it, so I'd keep that one a surprise to everyone not in my bridal party to avoid negative nancies.

    I only showed a very few my dress. My videographer told me to keep it a surprise so he could capture that moment.

    The only people who have seen mine are the people who went with me to pick it out (mom, FMIL, sister, two best friends). For some reason, I decided I just didn't want to show other people before the wedding. I don't even have any pictures on my phone so I don't get tempted.

    There's nothing wrong with showing people, though! For some reason, it's just not something I want to do

    Ive shown my mom, his mom, and my bridesmaids, but no one else. If people ask, I tell them, "its a ballgown!" but dont show pictures. I want everyone to be floored by the dress when I walk in.

    I show my dress to anyone that asks. It's a stock photo and not of me so it doesn't include my belt I'm adding or me in it.

    If non-guests ask, I'll show them. If guests ask, I'll say something like, "Do you want to see it now or be surprised?"
