Only a picture of it.

Ditto - only a picture.
There's a little unspoken competition between the moms right now for who is more involved, so I was keeping that special for my family only.

No.
I won't even describe it. I think that annoys her.
FH's dumb uncle asked on Easter if I was going to have a train, ' FMIL said' We're not allowed to know' in a whiny way. I said its b/c FH was there, & someone said he should leave, but I jokingly said I don't know if everyone in the room can be trusted with a secret.
I like going to a wedding and seeing everything for the first time, not knowing too many details, but everyoen keeps asking me stuff.
I think I am going to start lying.
I was trying to involve FILs in general in the beginning, but now I think I am done with other people. No more input from anyone. at all.

Same here!!!! She got to go dress shopping with me a little so I think that's enough. She knows it's white, it's got a train, it's a ball gown and for some reason she knows how much it cost! I don't want to hear anyone's comments because it's not strapless (apparently this is the only acceptable neckline on a wedding dress!).... and I want it to be a surprise for most people... my mom hasn't even seen on it me in person... only in pics... my MOH is the only other person who has seen it.

Re: FMIL and Dress
Me and my MOH(sister) actually went dress shopping and then I brought back my Mother and FMIL when I put the deposit down.
I am really lucky I have a wonderful FMIL she treats me like one of her own children. I really try to involve her as much as possible in the planning b/c she does not have any daughters only three sons so she will never get the chance to be the Mother of the Bride.

Re: FMIL and Dress
She's seen a photo of me in it and I will invite her to come to a fitting when it comes in. I'm not reallly a secretive person and I don't think her, or really anyone else, seeing it will make a difference on the big day.

Re: FMIL and Dress
Yes. I invited her along (at the request of my FH) when I ordered it. It was my mom, my sister (MOH) and my BM's with us. I was expecting her to have an attitude about it but she was very excited to see it and be a part of it.

No, not until I get married.

Re: FMIL and Dress

Re: FMIL and Dress
hrmm
She hasnt asked
I havent offered
It's never come up and I don't think either of us care.
I'd show it to her if she wanted, I don't care, but I doubt she'd care either.
His sister has seen it. So if she was curious Im sure she could have told her mother. *shrug*
It's just NOT that big of a deal. It's a dress, who cares? Im not her daughter why should she care what I look like? She's also not paying for a thing so she's not the type to say she has a 'say' in it.
My mother hasn't seen it (Stepmother) I don't think she cares either and frankly I won't show it to her. She has no rights as a mother as far as Im concerned and frankly I would kill her if I had to hear her B!tch and Moan about how it isn't right. Bad enough I can't tell her Im married cause they it's 'WHy bother going to NYC then if you're already married?' grrr

Re: FMIL and Dress
She hasn't seen it and won't until the wedding. She really isn't that interested to be honest.

Re: FMIL and Dress
She asked if I had any pictures of the dress. Now that I do I will share it with her.
