    I planned on going dress shopping for the first time the day after thanksgiving/ black friday... notorious for crazy shoppin.  i didnt think that the crazy shoppin applied for bridal shops, and the day was perfect for my sisters & I, plus i made the appointments just fine.  But now Ive heard from a few people that I'm CRAZY for going on black friday.  Am I? I cant imagine it will be worse than going on a Saturday, but then again this is my first time dress shopping.

    Help! What do you girls think?

    I'm all for going shopping on black Friday in any capacity.  I would think a bridal salon would be busy, but like you said, no worse than a Saturday. 

    That said, however...  I feel the need to make a PSA. 

    Ladies - if you decide to go shopping on black Friday, please, please, PLEASE be nice to the people working in ANY kind of retail.  My FI and my dad both work in the industry, and I can't begin to tell you all the horror stories they have come home with over the years.

    So spread the word, share a smile, have some patience, and be nice.  I, and the rest of the customer service world, thank you.  :)

    I think it should be fine if you have appointments.  Would be nuts if you just tried to walk in, but that's not the case.
