Is it bad I'm not inviting my future mother-in-law dress shopping?

Dress shopping should be a fun experience. One idea is to go with your mom and sister shopping first. Then when you have narrowed it down to a few dresses ask your MIL to go with you and show her your selections. I also suggest talking to your FH and see if he has any suggestions. She might not want to go anyway. Good luck!

Nope. My MIL isn't going with me!

My MIL didn't go with me. I don't know why some people assume they have to have their MIL along.

My MIL didn't go with me. We aren't close it would have just been weird.

Following. I think it would be super awkward if my MIL went with me and I would be uncomfortable.

I am not inviting my FMIL. She has been unbearable about this wedding and I refuse to let her taint the dress with her rude comments. It will be my mother and grandmother.

I kept inviting my FMIL but she didn't come to any. But I do intend to try and include her when I go for my fitting.

I think it's a personal choice and depends on your relationship.

My FMIL didn't go with me although we get along fine. My mom didn't even come (as she is very critical of everything I do).

I'm with Jeri. If you don't invite her at all, it may create a deeper line in the sand. I probably wouldn't tell her you're going with mom and sister yet, she may feel left out. Maybe if you invite her out when you've narrowed it down, it will help bring her a little closer. Sorry, I'm not sure what is good advice here.

Nope, and I'm super close to my FMIL. I only took my mom, but when I chose the dress, I had my mom take pictures so I could share it with her. I'm happy to have her help with anything else, but I really wanted that time with my mom

I don't think it's a problem to not ask her to come. I went with just my mom.

You can take whoever you want to go with you dress shopping. I only went with my mom and sister, but my plan is to have FMIL go to one or two of the fittings.

I felt similar, I had my mom and best friend come and it was amazing. However, I've thought about having her come to my final fitting that way she feels included kinda

You do not have to invite her- but i think it is a nice gesture. I invited my MIL unfortunately she got really sick and couldn't attend. But i know she was upset and was looking forward to it.

I wouldn't invite her. That awkwardness will effect you on the day and you don't want to pick the wrong dress or be stressed out

Nope, I went with just my mom!

I am inviting my FMIL. She has two boys and my FSIL lived on the other side of the country, so she was unable to see hers. It is also the first time our moms will meet so I think it will make it less awkward if there is a lot going on around them.

Maybe it will ease the tension if you involve her in some of the wedding planning?

I didn't. I wanted that time with my mom and my best friend. Plus, too many opinions in one room can be overwhelming. Just involve her in other things.

No
