My fiance's family is extremely fashioned challenged. They have never had a Vogue or a GQ magazine in their home and pretty much get their "fashion" ideas from church or rap videos. They shop at very cheap stores such as Dots or Rainbow and whatever clothing store is on the corner attached to a gas station. They don't go to decent malls because they believe they're too expensive, but they fail to realize decent malls have what we call discount racks and coupons that will allow you to pay 20 dollars for a $100+ Ralph Lauren skirt!
I REFUSE to allow them to embarrass me on not only my wedding day but for any of the wedding festivities. I'm thinking of having a sit down with his mom and sisters and telling them that I'll be taking them shopping for their attire for all wedding festivities and I'll also be in charge of their hair and makeup (you don't want to know about the hair makeup...think BAPS). My question is not SHOULD I do this but HOW I should break this to them. If they show up to any festivities looking like hood rats we will have MAJOR issues and I want to be calm and happy for my wedding celebrations.
Thanks.
