Mail my wedding dress? Poll! Help please!

Hey Guys! FH and I live in Chicago but our wedding is in Westbury. I will be flying in about a week before the big day and I am pretty sure I will have LOTS of stuff to pack and bring with me. FH wont come until about 2 days before the wedding. Well, my dress is seriously heavy! I was thinking about packaging my dress and sending it UPS to NY about 2 weeks before the wedding so that I don't have to drag it all around O'Hare and Laguardia! Also, if it gets there early enough, I wont have to worry about getting it steamed in time.

BUT, as easy as that would be....I would still totally panic if it got lost or something...So, I guess what I wanna know is....

If you were me, would you risk it?

TIA!

send your clothes UPS and just bring the dress with you as a carry on with no luggage.


When I went to vegas the flight attendants were so nice to the bride on our plane she hung the dress up in the pilots closet for her.

Yea...I think I will take it with me....all 20 lbs of it! FH didn't seem to like the idea of shipping the dress either.

I would be too scared to ship it.

Some airports let wedding partied board first. So You may have a slightly easier task. I think I would carry it with me. I agree ship your luggage. You can always buy more bars and a toot brush
