Fiance at your dress apointment

It’s not about what everyone else thinks. If you’re not superstitious and you want him there, go for it.

Hard no for me. Dress shopping was frustrating enough without another person, especially my hubby’s opinion.😝

But a few couples shop for dresses together. You can always tell your stylist your top 3 favorites then come back in another trip to order one so it’s still a surprise for your fiancé.

I didn't. I don't want my fiance to see me AT ALL in my dress before the wedding day. But it's up to you!

Mine didn't want to come he refuses to see the dress until I come down the aisle. He was with me when I picked it up and turned around when the rep unzipped the bag to make sure I got the right one.

This is just personal preference. If you don’t care if he sees you and you want him there, let him come. I’m not really big on the idea that things are good or bad luck for your marriage. I followed that as if it was an exact science with my first husband and still wound up divorced.

Yes, that's the superstition. But a lot of people don't believe in that. So, it comes down to, what do you believe?

Why do you want him to go? If you don't feel like it's bad luck, and you really want him there, then take him. It's nobody else's business what you decide to do.

I wouldn’t worry about traditions, if you want to do it, do it. But what will you do if you fall in love with a dress and he doesn’t like it? If it’ll break your heart, I’d leave him at home. If you don’t care, then take him.

Thank you for everyone advice, i agree with you peggy! if he doesn't like it, im a crybaby so i know it will hurt! We do just about everything together so im sure i will bring him. I will also take into consideration my favorite 3 and surprise him that way!

I really don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe he just wants to be more involved in the wedding process and it would mean something for him to help make that decision with you.

Traditionally it has always been "bad luck," but if you want him there, have him there. Who cares what everyone else thinks? Personally, I didn't want him there. Not because of superstition, but because I wanted the full reaction at our first looks.

My husband came to my dress shopping appt. I don't believe someone seeing or not seeing a dress will affect the future success of my marriage.

I would worry about the superstition thing. If you want him there then he should go. Everybody is different and this is a decision between the two of you and nobody should judge you for it. Good luck finding your dress.

I don’t believe in luck and I didn’t have anyone else local I trusted. So he came with me and, while overwhelmed, he provided good input. And definite support for me in choosing a unique dress.

If you want your dress to be a surprise to him then ask him to stay home but if you don't care then it shouldn't be a problem having him there. I went dress shopping with my Mom and Grandmother. Even though FH and I live together and I have my dress in our hall closet he won't see my dress until I walk down the aisle.

There's nothing wrong with him seeing the dress before the wedding! Sure, it's tradition but you don't have to always stick to it!

That's up to you. I dont want FH to see the dress before the wedding day, so even though it's in our house its covered up and hidden. He knows not to look in that closet. If you dont care if he sees your dress beforehand then go ahead and bring him with you....I just wanted to keep the element of surprise

I think if it's important to you that he be there then you should bring him! I'm personally not bringing my FH because I want him to be surprised!

I shopped and picked 3 very different dresses as possible choices. They brought then FI. He really liked the first, thought the second was good for a list of reasons. And when I got to my favorite, which I had not told him, he never said a thing. Just this terrific smile, and tears running down his face. Surprises and hiding things til wedding day are over rated. He enjoyed knowing how I would look, 4 months of happy anticipation . Would not have traded that experience with him for anything.

It's just a superstition, not actually true. Some people prefer to leave the dress a surprise. But if you don't, then go with what you want. I had my fiance(e) with me to pick out the dresses for each of my marriages. (And no, I don't think that contributed to the end of my first marriage, 20 years later.)

It's about what YOU want!! I dont think it's bad luck at all. If you want him there, have him come! You can still even keep the dress a surprise! I've heard of couples having 2 or 3 dresses they both love, and the bride orders one without telling the groom.which one, so he still gets a surprise on the wedding day!
