mob & fmil Getting Ready

Elisa, on January 28, 2020 at 12:34 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13

Hey guys! As per usual, I'm having my bridesmaids get ready with me before the ceremony, and my mom and my fiance's mom will be there too. I was going to get my bridesmaids robes, but what do I do for my mom and FMIL? Do I also get them robes but make them not be the same color scheme as bridesmaids? I'm sure they're going to want longer ones that cover more of their legs. Looking to hear your ideas or hear what you did for yours!

    I asked them and they said they didn't want robes or to fit in with the bridesmaids. I told them to wear whatever they are comfortable in!

    I haven't though about it. If I was to do it I would definitely get them in a different color.

    That's true and probably a safer solution--I should just ask them! lol.

    Oooh that could work! And maybe have it paired with comfy pants or something like that.

    I have the perfect solution for you: plumprettysugar.com

    They offer a variety of pj styles (long sleeve/pant, short sleeve/pant, etc) and robes (long, short, etc.) and in a TON of cute patterns. You could still do the robes for the bridesmaids and maybe do a PJ set for the moms in the same pattern? Or you could do a certain pattern for the girls and find a complimentary solid color for the moms if you want them to be different.

    The morning of we had myself + bridesmaids, my husbands mom, my mom, and my dad's girlfriend! I ordered all moms + bridesmaids matching short sleeve, long bottom PJ pants and it was SO cute Smiley smile

    I didn't. I told them the bridesmaids would be in black, so they wore black (out of choice) but they didn't have a getting ready outfit.

    My mother-in-law didn't get ready with us, but my mom did. My mother-in-law wanted her hair professionally done, but she felt the $75 the hair stylist I hired wanted was too much so she went to Walmart to have her hair done. My mom got a different color robe than the bridesmaids. The bridesmaids and groomswoman had red, I had white, my flower girls had floral, and my mom had gray. My grandmother also got her hair done, but she didn't get a robe. She kept going back and forth as to whether she was getting her hair professionally done with us so when I purchased the robes she was unsure.
