My lovely sister
So as I mentioned in the TTC post, my sister has the potential of being a bridezilla. And as I posted that comment this morning, I get an email from her about a half hour ago. Her wedding is in September, and she's emailing me about bridesmaid dresses, which is fine, whatever, BUT she mentions that she thinks we should order in March. Is it just me or does any one else think this is a little early, especially since she knows we're going to start TTC about May? My bridesmaids ordered their dresses in July for my October wedding, and none were planning to have babies. I don't know what to do.
So I have a poll for you:
Re: My lovely sister
My sister lives in Ohio.
Be a good bridesmaid and get the dress now. There is nothing wrong with your sister wanting her to have as much things done ASAP, I just got married and I know how stressful it is for the bride, and I've also been in many weddings and I've had ridiculous commands-this is not one. Plus, even if you did get pregnant the first time you tried (only 20% chance) there is no way you would big be enough by September. I doubt you will get pregnant the first time and even if you did, you would probably have a tiny bump that some alterations can fix.
I suppose it depends on the dress however overall I think it is better to order earlier rather than later. June sounds too late, since some dresses take 3 months or more. Plus you need to leave time for alterations.
I don't really think you sister should have to change her plans around your potential TTC plans. I agree that if you got pregnant your first cycle trying you should not be that far along that the dress could not be altered to accommodate you.
just suck it up and do it. IMO 6 months in advance isn't early at all, gives people plenty of time to have them altered. one wedding i was in it took 4 months for the dresses to come in... you never know.
i agree w/ OPs as well, if you did get PG on the first cycle, you most likely wouldn't be showing anyways.
I think you should just go ahead and order the dress. If you do end up getting pregnant on your first try, and do end up gaining weight, then cross that bridge when you come to it. Its amazing what a good seamstress can do. Otherwise, go with the flow. My guess is that your sister was probably in your wedding and (hopefully) she did things when you asked her to do them, so it's only fair to her for you to reciprocate.
Good luck!
