I'm going to David's Bridal today with my bridesmaids to look at dresses for them. Should my fiance go with us? It's his wedding too, and I want him to be involved with the planning of it. Did your fiance go with you to look at bridesmaid dresses or is this something that only the girls should do?

NOOOOOOOO! Please, let him be a man. Tell him to go watch football at a sports bar.

Nuh-uh.
Honestly, unless you are marrying a man who has just not come to terms with the fact that he is attracted to other men, he does not care about the details of the wedding. At all.
I know it's something that YOU'RE really into, but don't try to over-involve him in the planning process.
He may have a few details he'd really like, but I really really really doubt a wedding dress would be one of them. Ask him if there's something in particular he wants in regards to your wedding day, accommodate for those details, and leave him alone about everything else.
A lot of guys will want to have input on the groom's cake (which I'm pretty sure is a tradition that started so that they could have one thing that is "theirs"), food, possibly tuxes, and/or music.
But the search for the perfect wedding gown is just too much of a girly activity for around 98% of the heterosexual male population. Spare him the misery.

Any self respecting heterosexual male will not want to be tortured with this. I have never seen a man at a Bridal shop looking at dresses.
The reality of it is that most men want very little to do with the planning. He'll let you know if he wants to make any input in anything, but for the most part, men don't care about dresses, flowers, cake decoration, favors, decorating the church or reception venues. They might care about the place, the music, or the food, but that's about it.

No no no. It would be a great bonding activity for the bridesmaids to participate it. Guys don't normally like that kind've stuff. Keep it a girly thing. If you want, you can get some ideas from him ahead of time and just keep that in mind as you shop.

No. This is not something for the men. My fiance is very involved in planning our wedding, but that seems bizarre. Men know nothing about women's dresses, and I doubt your BM would feel comfortable trying on dresses and parading in front of him for approval. You just don't see men in those shops.

My fiance had MANY better things to do than shop for dresses. Like stick pointy needles into his eye. Why put him through that. If my man wanted to help choose dresses, I would think he was a control freak and I wouldn't have married him anyway.

We had a blast paying for for my bridesmaids' dresses. We went to David's Bridal, I instructed them i wanted them in Apple purple and then we proceeded to have them attempt on a pair diverse varieties, found one which looked strong on all and multiple and become in basic terms $one hundred and noted as it strong. i'm sorry yet you sound like an extremely undesirable bridesmaid to me. "Plus the reception is in basic terms at a golf club the position the bride and groom are paying $35 in conserving with individual for nutrition, so no longer precisely fancy." in the adventure that they have got one hundred and twenty travelers, it really is $4200 in nutrition (it really is $1200 more suitable than my finished wedding ceremony budget and my wedding ceremony wasn't inexpensive searching in any respect), and fyi an excellent style of very constructive, very fancy weddings/or receptions are performed at golf golf equipment/usa golf equipment. definite you would in basic terms placed on the gown once, yet nonetheless its no longer about that, its about status up there and being a witness to on your buddy who thinks you're noticeably particular and needs you up there. maximum of my bridesmaids did not extremely get me presents which become completely tremendous because them status up there become present sufficient.

I guess I'll be the odd ball. My hubby went w/ me when I went and looked at them for the first time. He didn't mind. I went w/ him when we looked at tuxes. It was OUR wedding so if he had any say about the dresses, or I had any say about the tuxes, we told each other. No biggie. Just offer it to him, if he doesn't go, he doesn't go. My hubby didn't go when the girls tried ON the dresses but we went together the first time to check 'em out.

he shouldn't go when ur looking at bridesmaids dresses.
there is just no reason for him to go. there are plenty of other things he can do to help out. besides he will have to go with the grooms men to pick out tuxes.

My fiance didn't want to go. I asked him. Why don't you ask your fiance? Make sure not to guilt him if he says no.
He "shouldn't" go if he wants to, but if he does, by all means include him.
I am going to look at tuxes with my fiance, so I guess it really doesn't work both ways. We're taking his dad along as well so he could have another male opinion.
