I Found an Inexpensive Robe Site
Hi All!
I just wanted to share that I have found a really great website for inexpensive robes (waffle, satin, and more). It was a life saver for me and I never saw anyone talking about it. I haven't gotten my order in yet, but I ordered them yesterday and they have already shipped! I got them on the Black Friday sale which made them even cheaper. ($7.99 satin robes!) It's too late for that sale now, but their Cyber Monday sale is great too, it's $10.99 Waffle Robes!
Check this site out if you are looking for inexpensive robes for your bridal party.

Hope this helps someone out there!

Re: I Found an Inexpensive Robe Site
You're barking up the wrong tree with this.
I'm not having them embroidered nor did I mention that at all. Additionally, I'm giving them as Christmas presents to a group of people in MY wedding who expressed interest in having matching robes. It isn't even their official gift.
If this isn't advice you are interested in, why click and comment on the post at all? I see things all the time on the forums that I'm not interested in or that I think is silly and I just pass right by it.
Had you lurked at all before posting, you would have known that robes are not a popular choice of bridesmaid gift in this forum. You apparently didn't do that, so I let you know that. If I hadn't, someone else probably would have. No one is obligated to ignore you just because we don't agree with you.
Before you post anything else, may I respectfully suggest that you read other threads to find out how the forum as a group feels about anything before you ask for feedback or make suggestions? And if you find that your opinion differs from those of the vast majority, that you reconsider whether you want to share it with us?
You're welcome to share the info, just don't be surprised if your responses are negative. We're not just going to pass by without clicking like you suggested because if there's a lurker considering the site you mentioned, she'll know it's not a great idea.
So...it's helpful when you say it's a good idea, but unhelpful when other people say that it's not?
I think you're confusing "helpful" with "everyone agrees with me," which makes it sound as if you have an unnaturally high opinion of your ideas.
The only robe talk on here is to the negative because - SNS - cheap robes for a photo op (which is all they'd be) yea, no. If I'm putting on a robe, it's going to be fluffy, cushy, oversized, swallowing, and I'm SAF not having my picture taken while wearing it. BM's aren't dolls, matching dresses is about as far as it needs to go!
So, anyway, thank you for sharing!
Honestly, these types of gifts just seem lazy to me. It's like you don't want to spend the time/effort to get individual gifts they would like, so just get a cheap robe that will look cute in pictures instead.
And skip the personalization on any gifts. It's cute for kids, not for adults.
Okay is the OP making up new usernames now to try and talk sense into us?? NO, treating your BMs (aka your nearest and dearest) like props isn't okay. I don't care if the robes are $1 each.
I would happily put on a paper thin robe that shows off every "unsightly" bump and lump of my body and take pictures with you...and if my right breast should just happen to slip out from behind the fabric and get captured on film I will insist you frame that photo and display it proudly in your home where everyone you know can see it and gush about "how cute" we all looked, and then find my nip-slip in the background...
</end sarcasm>
Look, most people hear will tell you that they don't want to be photographed in robes. It isn't really cute and it is just the latest in a string of trends that pushes brides into spending extra money on unnecessary things. If I was your BM I would flat out refuse to be photographed while I was half naked with a bunch of other people (some of whom I would likely not even know). All we are trying to say is save your money, avoid the awkward, and just let the BMs wear whatever they want until the put on their dress! JFC, why is this so difficult?
You're stating there is a possibility some may want them? Not here. Not at all. Many - as you've seen - will talk them out of wasting money on that. Taste varies on robes, I personally have 2 robes that I would never have someone purchase for me. Too intimate.
Also, likely hood is no one will want their photo taken in a state of undress. It's creepy and awkward.
Also .... that wedding jewelry better not be a gift. You can't hand someone a gift and it's for the wedding.
I did get a couple of my other BM doing people's hair, and a few of my own but it wasn't a focal point.
We weren't matching either, I just told them to be comfy and wear a top they can change easily with hair done {like a tank top of button down}
**I realize many will find that clothing caveat a bit "odd", but it's the way I roll.
Here's a crazy idea - why don't you just let people wear whatever the hell they want while they get ready??
Hmmmmm. Joined 11/26. Same day OP posted about her amazing technicolor dream robes. No other posts. No other activity of any kind.
