Treat for Lunch when shopping for bridal gown?

I took my girls for drinks & appetizers .. We shopped at 1pm and we're done by 2

I treated the people I brought with me to lunch. It was just my mom, my MOH and my FMIL. I think it was around $50 for the 4 of us.

I didn't do either...woops.

I don't think it's required but it's always nice to treat your friends to a free meal and/or drinks

My mom and mil treated everyone to lunch...it was very generous and nice of them.

Taco bell and some budweiser....saves cash and most people will turn it down lol sorry

I just took my 2 gfs who are my 2 bridesmaids. i didnt buy lunch, but we did grab food after. one was super mad at Davids Bridal cus they wouldnt allow us to bring champagne in the store. hahaha

I treated everyone to brunch. It was my mom, my 2 sisters, my daughter, and 2 aunts. It was Mother's Day so I killed two birds with one stone

I didn't. I don't think you need to. I went with my mom and sister and we went in the morning and were done before lunch. Just went home for lunch.

Do what works for you and your friends/family.

I've been wondering the same thing! I could have around 4-5 people come with me and I'm afraid it could get pricy.

I went with FH and HE took ME out to dinner.

I would think it depends on the time of day. If you're meeting mid afternoon, maybe you could do brunch beforehand if you're worried about cost. I read you're not supposed to go wedding dress shopping when you're hungry, anyway.

I also like Sara's Taco Bell and Budweiser idea.

I went with my mom, dad, and sister in a snow storm! We did stop for lunch and they treated... but that's because we didn't have a choice it was a white out! Hit up the liquor store for a nice bottle of wine and do some make ahead trays (fruit, veg, dips, dessert)... inexpensive way of treating your ladies if you feel you'd like to... Also a good time to discuss all wedding preparations while you have them all together!

Good question I was wondering the same thing. I am bringing my 2 MOH's and my mom.

I'm going dress shopping for the first time ever in November, and I will be treating them lunch afterwards. it's 3 of them!

The first time we went to look at dresses, I took FSIL and we got Subway. We're super classy ladies like that.

If it's middle-of-the-day sorta time and not when they may have intended to have an actual lunch - it might be nice to take them to a cafe sorta place? Coffee, soup, bit o cake.. that sorta deal. Wouldn't be too expensive but still a nice gesture.

I did this, lunch and champagne, and yes it was over $100. But they loved it.

I didn't. We went to lunch first and then went shopping.

I think you can do a casual lunch/brunch for under $25/pp. It doesn't need to be anything super fancy. Any gesture you can give is fine, whether its a round of drinks or grabbing ice cream after.
