Reception Dress - When to change

TaoTao, on May 28, 2018 at 3:44 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 16
Hi!

I’ve said yes to my dress! Now I’m considering a reception dress to finish the night off with less restrictive dancing. When would be a good time to change into the 2nd dress? I want to get the most out of my wedding dress as it will be my only time wearing it!

    I would change it during cocktail hour (if youre having one), or between the ceremony and reception. You will probably not gonna have much time to change otherwise!

    I plan to change into my reception dress after most of the formalities (dinner, dances, toasts if we have any). That way I can boogie all night long.

    I'm in that same boat! I hate to take my dress off, but I want to me comfortable! I chose this dress as my potential second dress. I'm still trying to figure out when to change, myself; however, I'm thinking maybe after dinner and before the cake cutting. I definitely want to do the first dance in my dress!

    I had been going back and forth because of budget and cost, and finally found this on eBay. The price is under 200, so I'm gonna take a leap of faith and buy with PayPal and if it isn't as described, I can still get my money back. This was the only dress besides my ceremony one that I was like, this is the one

    I am planning on changing to my second dress after the first dance 💃. You want to make sure you look like a princess on your first dance.

    Thank you! It'll only cost me around $36; so if I get carried away and don't ever change, I won't feel bad!

    I am planning to change after pictures right before we are announced. We have a dance routine and I want to be able to move freely and can’t do that in my ball gown.
