Is your dress a "surprise"?

So we all know that most brides keep their dress a surprise from the groom until the day of wedding, but what about everyone else? So far I have only shown pictures of my wedding dress to a select few people, mostly because my mom seemed to feel strongly it should remain a "surprise," even to family...

I'm not sure if I care that much, but it did give me pause! So brides, weigh in - are you keeping photos of your dress to a select few, or showing it to anyone who asks?

    I've only shown it to a very few select people.. under 10 to be exact. Not even my FMIL has seen it yet. I like the idea of a surprise because I like seeing their faces on how it looks with everything else.

    My mom, moh/bridesmaids, FMIL, and 2 friends know what it looks like. I am not showing anyone else. I want it to be a surprise. My mom moh/bridesmaids went with me but the others were because I was so excited lol

    I showed the stock photo to my bridesmaids.
    Beyond that, everyone will just have to wait.

    My BFFs sister has been engaged twice in the last couple years and constantly posts about her wedding. I want guests to be surprised.

    The only person who has seen my dress is my mom. It will be a surprise to everyone else.
