Reception dress.....does he see it??

ED, on June 15, 2018 at 3:46 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7
Obviously every bride wants the ceremony dress to be a surprise but what about the reception dress? Just wondering what everyone's opinion is on the party dress?? Can he see it prior to the big day or should it be a big surprise as well?

    Well yes, but they all didn't see it before the big day. It's not a tradition for everyone. Scenario, 11mths ahead of the wedding does the fiance see the reception gown?

    My FH went shopping with me and picked out my reception dress. He's still never seen the ceremony dress but I liked having his input for the reception dress; more so than I thought I would.

    I think he can see it. Since I think of my reception as a big party, I don't see why not. If there are superstitions about this let me know hahahah

    Hi ED! This is entirely up to your desires. I personally love the surprise of waiting until my big, so he can be completely in awe! However, it's perfectly fine to allow him to see it! Just consider whether or not you want to keep everything a complete surprise. After all, this is a huge milestone moment, so consider that as well!! Good luck deciding!! Smiley heart

    Up to you! My husband went with me to the bridal store so I could show it to him before I bought it. I knew with alterations & accessories I’d look different enough to surprise him.
