My fiance and I will be eloping in May in NYC. We're then having a casual party three weeks later back home. So many of our family members want me to wear my dress to the party. First, is that weird for a casual bbq party? If I do, should I have the dress cleaned in between the events and then again after the party? Or just once after everything?

I don't think it's weird to wear your dress! If you're not comfortable with it, you could always bring photos from the element to the bbq. Unless you spill a blue slushie on your dress after the elopement, i would wait until after the bbq to get it cleaned.

I would so wear your dress! Unless it’s visibly dirty and you’re ok with it, I would not get it cleaned twice. Depending on how you store it for those three weeks it may just need some steaming/ironing!

Hey there, Shannon.
If you're comfortable wearing your dress, go for it You could even wear it for the first hour or so and change then if you liked!
I would see what condition it is in after the elopement and then decide whether or not to get it cleaned. A simple spot clean here and there may be sufficient!
