Hey bees!
I absolutely love all of the cute "bride" tank tops, but my wedding is 4 months away... so I was wondering... when is it okay to wear the tank top??? How soon is too soon??
I was wondering the same thing. If I actually get one...I am thinking only the day of my wedding and during the honeymoon.
I bought a cute beach bag that says "Bride" on a ribbon that ties on to it, and I'll be carrying that through the honeymoon, and will wear my tank then too, but didn't know if it was terrible to wear it before?!
I would think the day of your wedding it would be really appropriate other than that would you like wear it as a shirt on a normal day?
I can't say I have ever seen anyone do it - but if you want to go for it!
Oh wow, I got one from my friend (who got married two years before I did) who got it from a friend of hers (who was also married). Suffice it to say, its never been worn. Although it is kept in a prominent spot in my bedroom!
haha, I just got the cutest "bride" hoodie as a bacherlorette party gift and I wear mine all the time and I plan on wearing it even after I get married. So wear it whenever you want!
I think they're cute for a wedding related function. So maybe a low key shower, or your bachelorette party. The day/night before your wedding, as you get ready, that kinda thing. I don't think I'd want to wear a bride t-shirt if I were just going to the mall or something.
Yeha, I was thinking that I'd wear it for wedding related functions - shower, bachelorette, etc definitely!
I have 2 said bride tank tops... and I plan on wearing them during my bachelorette party, maybe the day of my wedding shower and maybe on my honeymoon...
Much as I hate the word tacky and this whole judging others' style thing, I have to admit that I am not a fan of the "bride" labeled merchandise. It could be cute for bachelorette party, or getting ready on your wedding weekend, but generally not my thing.
I would also say that depending on how formal your pre-wedding get-togethers are (bridal shower, bachelorette) that it would be fine to wear them then. Also, it would be fine during the "getting ready" on the day of the wedding and during the honeymoon. Other than that though, I would only wear "bride" clothing around the house - never out in public anywhere.
I would say the bachelorette party and the day of your wedding are the only times its appropriate. I honestly would think it was really weird to see someone just walking around in something with "bride" written on it... even on your honeymoon.
It's not my thing, but I think it would be okay to wear for bachelorette party, low key shower, or day of. That's pretty much it.
Probably the week of your wedding and for your honeymoon, in terms of wearing it out in public. After that, around the house only.
bachelorette, wedding day/weekend/week before the wedding (maybe), and then as pajamas/around the house
Anytime you and the girls go out and do something wedding related! My wedding is still over a year a way and I would wear it!!! Nobody else is going to say anything or care.
Okay, I'll lay it on you straight. A lot people (as indicated by the poll) think these things are really goofy. If you wear it for your shower and bachelorette, for example, you'll get smiles and eye rolls (the whole, "that's so silly") but nothing worse than that. If you wear it in public to things unrelated to your wedding, you'll get snickers and some people will think you are ridiculous.
That said, do you care? If you don't, wear it wherever you want. It isn't as if it's offensive or rude. It's just outside of a lot of people's definition of taste. If you don't mind that, I think you can wear it whenever you want before the wedding.
I totally plan on wearing either a hoodie (January wedding) on our honeymoon, I was actually really excited we are going to Vegas so I thought people would find it fun!
Personally, I think bach party and/or getting ready only. I would never wear it out in public on a regular day, and I have no plans of bringing it on my honeymoon, because I'll be a wife, not a bride.
OK, I agree with the pps who are saying bachelorette and day of. If your shower is super casual, that too. Other than that, I'd say it's OK to wear around your house, like for jammies or painting or something.
I say wear it whenever you want, but you're technically only "the bride" on your wedding day.
I personally am not down with the "bride" stuff, but if I had to wear it I would say during the getting ready period during the day. Unless it's underwear, then you can wear it whenever :)
I would say the week of your wedding, the bachelorette party and to the shower if it's casual. I love them too. I can't beleive all of the negative votes!!!
I'm not a fan of them but anytime during the engagement period is fine. However, the wedding day when you are getting ready is not ideal at all. Simply because you will have to cut it down the front or step out of it to change into your dress. Otherwise, you will mess up your hair and makeup lifting it over your head.
Just a sweet thought... the minister of my church often refers to his bride... who is his wife of 25 years... so I think it's okay to enjoy being a bride! (He always says it in the sweetest way!) Once a bride... always a bride!
Getting ready and bachelorette party (if you're going party style). Otherwise, eh, not a fan of vast advertisements. I saw a bunch on our honeymoon at the airport (the whole "i'm the bride" and "i'm the groom" or "game over" shirts) and I just am not a fan. But then again, i was pretty done with being a bride and all the attention. It was nice to be inconspicuous for once without people coming up and going OMG CONGRATS all day. Ah, airport randomness
I really think it only works for bridal showers (maybe), bachelorette parties, and the day of the wedding.
It would be fun at your bachelorette party, during the weekend of your wedding, and maybe on your honeymoon :)
Haha when I got engaged, one of my friends bought me a 'Bride' tank top from VS. While I think it is cute, I was never able to bring myself to wear it in public. So I did wear it, but mainly just as a tank top to sleep in.
I would probably think 'Uh-oh, bridezilla alert' if I saw someone just wearing it on a normal day. But I wouldn't think anything of it if you wore one to your bachelorette party or something.
Ok...3+ things:
1. I work at Hobby Lobby and we have a lot of "bride" merch
2. People wear them all the time in my store
that being said:
3.+ I would never wear anything like that. However, I feel if that's your...err...bag, you could wear it any time after you're engaged. As long as your comfortable wearing it. Personally I'd go with the reusable bag over a tank anyday :)
I say wear it anytime you feel comfortable. Personally, I don't like tons of attention, and I think they're almost alway overpriced, so I MIGHT wear it the morning of getting ready, and then relegate it to the PJ pile just to get some more wear out of it, but that's about it.
I feel like after wedding, there's kind of no use for it, but that's just my opinion.
I made one for myself on zazzle.com and will wear it to my bridal shower, probably not my bachelorette party as I want to look HAWT then and I just can't feel that way in a tee. After that, it might get worn as PJ's. Other than that, I couldn't bring myself to wear it.
Im getting the one that says 'wifey' but as a hoodie. Its going to become my lounging around the house not ever to wear in public clothes. :P
I dont think this is anything new, but i would go with the day of your hens party and the morning of your wedding... if you can slip it over your head!
