Mom missed dress shopping and asked me to re-create it!

My mom missed my dress shopping day b/c she was sick.  I ended up picking out a dress with my bridal party and bought it then and there.  Now my mom's asked me to take her to the same shop and try on dresses all over again so that she could feel like she was a part of it.  Isn't this silly?  Is it bad luck?  How can I avoid this?!?

    Not a chance.  I probably would have cancelled the appointment in the first place if my mom was sick, but if she missed it, she missed it.  She's an adult.

    Any chance she's kidding?  Just act like she is and maybe she'll realize how silly her request is, assuming she really does want you to do that.

    My mom's out of state and couldn't go, I just took a ton of pictures and showed them to her after.  I never would have agreed to go fake-shopping with her afterward, I would have felt ridiculous.

    Perhaps she could go with you when the dress comes in?  Then you can try it on in the dress shop with her at least.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    I've been the MOB and that just sounds silly to me.  Trying on dresses is not a stage production that you put on night after night.  I'm sorry your mom missed it, but the party's over on dress buying.  That's just not a moment that you can "recreate".

    Offer to go dress shopping with her for her MOB dress instead.

    No way. I probably wouldn't have gone if my mom was suppose to go and was sick.


    I don't know about bad luck, but it's sort of silly I think. Def have her go with you for the fitting. Have her do the other stuff with you, like shoes, veil, etc if you don't have that already.

    Take her to the first fitting. Your mom's request is just a waste of time and silly.

    Take her to do other stuff.  I wouldn't entertain the do-over she's requesting.

    take her to your first fitting..
    I know with my mom, she wouldn't be there because she is the type that put work first. My MOH is more excited about me finding my dress than my mom is right now.. It doesn't help that we don't have the same taste either..
