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?!

    I've showed a few people but I know that they won't remember what it looks like. FH has no idea what it looks like though.

    Interested in these responses! I've shown mine to anyone and everyone as well. Except, FH of course. I agree with PPs, it'll be completely different with hair, makeup, shoes, and on the day of just generally. Also, I'm making a few alterations to the sleeves, so it will be different than the picture they see now.

    I've showed anyone that's asked (which isn't a whole lot, mostly coworkers) Just not fh.

    I really don't care about the dress being a surprise because it's so different when I'm showing a picture with no makeup and hair in a bun then completely done up for the big day.

    No, I've only showed my mom, my MOH, and my bridesmaid. And then random vendors if I need help picking accessories or makeup. I'm very secretive about my dress!

    I'm with little demon on this one. I'mnso excited about FH seeing it that I want to show him so bad! I show it to anyone that will look just to help keep it from him. I don't think it matters anyways. I don't think anyone will remember it and it will look different on and in person.

    Yes, I can't stop showing people who aren't FH. It's becoming a problem. I'm too in love with. I'm going to show y'all again. LOOK AT IT.

    I am opting to not show anyone. I'm planning a reveal with my bridesmaids and dad so only my mom and sister will know what it looks like!

    Only my mom has seen mine, since she went shopping with me. I showed my MUA the beading, but not the whole dress. No one else. Nope. Not gonna do it.

    I show mine when people ask me. I'm too excited to not! I also showed FH. Doesn't bother me that he's seen it, and it'll look completely different with me all done up.

    I've tried not to but I have shown if someone is insistent but I show it on the model and not me.

    I decided against it more for the reason that i know my friends pretty well and can tell what they're thinking and I really don't want their opinion on my dress - belt/no belt, off the shoulder/on the shoulder etc.

    Some people asked and I showed them I was so excited but it was just females from a picture but did not see in person. Now my daughter's have seen it and he said that he doesn't want to see until I come down the aisle. My mom hasn't yet either until the day
