Who did you show your wedding dress to?

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I'm on mobile and can't search. I'm definitely torn if I should show my family my wedding dress prior to the wedding. A few of my cousins and close friends are asking to see pictures. Did you show off your dress before the big day? Or keep it to yourself?...

    I went shopping with a friend of mine. She's seen me "in" the dress and took pictures. I've shown those pictures to anyone that's asked (except FH), but I've not shared them with anyone at all. I'll send and post pictures after the wedding.

    People that went shopping with me (obviously), and I have shown a few people at work who were very persistent. I'd rather not show people, but sometimes they are very insisten or excited and I cave.

    Showed mine to anyone who wanted to see it. My family is hell bent on FH not seeing it. I don't really care. He's not seen it. I won't be sad if he does.

    In person, I've shown my dress to my mom, dad, FMIL and my FH. I've shown a lot of people a photo on my phone. If someone asks, I'll show it to them.

    I showed it to my sister, godmother, fh mom and future sister in law. I regret showing it to his mom and sister. They are super opinionated and we have very different taste. They made me second guess everything. I would choose who you show wisely and make it known whether you want their opinion or not.

    I showed it to my parents, my aunt's, best friends, and my class.

    Before the weird comments, we do good things every morning where we tell something good in our life and on Friday something we are looking forward to over the weekend. I told my kids on Friday I get to pick up my dress, and they all asked to see it. Then proceeded to tell me what they were planning on being in my wedding. Lol

    I showed it to my two MOH, mom and sisters. My other bridesmaids have seen photos of other dresses but not final choice.

    My mom & sister were with me when I picked my dress. I sent a picture to my best friend because I started to regret the dress. I also showed my coworker. FH saw the dress when we went to pick it up. And that is it, everybody who asked I lied and said I didn't take pictures. I want it to be a surprise.

    Anybody who wants to see it...I had bridal portraits taken and they turned out so well that I can't stop myself. I tried to show FH and he took my phone out of my hand and buried it in the couch before I could. He doesn't want to see!
