Who should you invite to come wedding dress shopping with you? Is it just the brides side or do I also invite my h2bs mum? I have two bridesmaids, 1 being my sister and the other being my h2bs sister.

Hi I took my Mum and my H2B's Stepmother. The experts say don't take more than three because you will get confused with too many opinions :)

I only took my mum. Too many people input too many opinions.

I took my mum and matron of honour/sis-in-law. Then invited my fiance's mum and my niece (7 year old) to my first fitting.

I don’t have sisters, & my MIL only has sons, so I took my mum & MIL. I wanted to give my MIL the experience of bridal shopping as she wouldn’t get it from her own daughters. The main fitting was just with Mum, but going to various shops to find ‘the one’ I shared with MIL. My bridesmaids didn’t come - very difficult to arrange a time everyone could do! They all seemed fine with this.

Whoever you want! I took a friend who is not part of the wedding party but works in fashion so her opinion was really helpful.

I had my mum, my 3 bridesmaids (2 my sisters and his sister) I did invite my mil but she didn't want to be a part of it.
