Who gets a getting ready outfit?

Paige, on June 6, 2022 at 5:42 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12

Hello everyone! If you're getting robes, PJs, etc. for getting ready, who all are you getting them for? I'm definitely planning to get something for my bridesmaids, but my mom and grandma will be getting ready with us too. My FMIL is getting her hair and makeup done at the hotel with us then taking off to do her own thing before the wedding. Do I get something for everyone even though FMIL isn't planning to stick around? Just the bridesmaids? When is the best time to give everyone their stuff? Help!

TYIA! Smiley smile

    My mom doesn’t want her makeup done and neither does my FMIL. I have a MOH & Britany has a female best friend who’s in the wedding as well, we’re all getting our makeup done by the same person. I’m getting them these. They are $14Who gets a getting ready outfit? 1

    I wouldn't get anything for your mom or grandma without asking. They may not want to be in the photos or plan to get ready somewhere else like your FMIL is.

    My mom and FMIL are going to get their make up done (not hair) with the bridesmaids. I got them shirts to match the bridesmaids as well. I wanted to make them feel a part of the day, but won’t be offended if they don’t wear them. I opted to get the white button down shirts for everyone to wear, but will suggest bringing black leggings, since they are not as long as I had thought they would be.

    I only got my bridesmaids getting ready pj’s and robes and let my mom and MIL wear whatever due to my budget for gifts, and also my mom would not have been comfortable with the outfits. If you have the budget and want to include them, I would also echo one of the PPs here and say ask them first. They might not be comfortable in the outfits or may even feel weird about matching your bridesmaids.

    I did not have bridesmaids. I only bought for myself. Etsy is a perfect source for all. For your MIL and FMIL I would probably spend a bit more for them to buy something super special. She can make the decision as to wearing it or not.

    I got zip up hoodies for my mom and FMIL since they will be getting ready with us and I didn't want them to feel left out. It just has name embroidered on front. However - my mom was adamant it wasn't necessary and that I should have saved my money! We are not taking pictures in them though - we will not be doing getting ready pictures at the solon - so they truly are for their comfort and not just photos - long winded way to say I think you are good to just have the bridal party

    I'm giving the outfits to my mom and FMIL because they're invited to spend the day with us. I think it depends on whether or not your FMIL will feel left out. I'm giving everyone their gifts at the rehearsal dinner.

    The outfits are really only for getting ready photos, so it would depend on who you plan on having in those.
