    Hey! I got the robes from eBay and slippers from Ali express! Also got a ton of little things from Amazon and personalized cards from Etsy.

    It's not a must to all be wearing matching stuff for me, but the must is me getting a getting ready outfit that I can slip off without going over my head. Surprisingly, I don't own a single thing like that. Don't want to risk messing up hair or make-up once they are done. Smiley tongue

    My bridesmaids and I decided to get robes done and I am thrilled with how they turned out. It gives us extra reasons to have pictures just me and the girls that morning. Smiley smile

    Agreed that is not a must.... but It does make for nice pictures and if you do your research can be inexpensive. I think they are supper fun! I was able to order matching robes and slippers for under $100 for 7 people.

    Not a must in a make-or-break way, but I really love the idea so we'll be doing it for mine 😁

    It wasn't a must but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was fun and a cute gift for the girls that they could use afterwards. And our photographer will be around for the end of getting ready so why not?

    Not a must do but definitely a nice touch I would say. I got my girls robes and I’m adding them as part of their BM gifts.

    Not a must do! Getting ready with the family was more important for the pictures and our wedding party of four.

    I decided the robes and hair crowns would be my gifts for my bridesmaids, so we'll be doing this. I ordered from weddingstar on Wednesday last week, and the robes arrived Friday, and I couldn't believe how quickly I recieved them. The website didn't have the embroidery that I wanted, so I'll need to find someone in town to embroider them.

    Unnecessary expense. They are cute for photos but our photographer arrived after the bridesmaids changed into their dresses. I thought about doing plaid shirts with name/role but I didn't know if my girls would wear them again so I skipped it.

    I like the idea of them, but It will only be myself and my MOH, so not necessary!

    I like the trend and I looked long and hard to find something I liked for my girls.

    I found the cutest sunflower print robes from robesbysilkandmore, they were totally customizable in terms of length and size and despite the name they're made of cotton so they're not shiny and slippery.

    I can't wait to give them to my girls when we check-in to our airbnb after the rehearsal dinner

    I'm not going to bother it's just two of us. We can wear whatever we want. If I found them on sale for great price I suppose I would consider.

    I had a silk robe that said bride but I got that more for having something I can wear that I can take off without damaging my hairdo. I didn't have matching robes with my girls or anything

    I'm not doing getting ready photos (or not many) so it's unnecessary for me! They're super cute, but everyone does them now so if you're in more than 1 wedding all of a sudden you've got a collection of silk robes...

    Unnecessary expense in my opinion. They look cute but they are expensive and not always size inclusive.

    Unnecessary expense I think. I have bridesmaids of different sizes, so I didn't want them to feel uncomfortable in what I would have chosen. So we opted to not do it.

    Plus the way I scheduled our photographer, there was not a ton of time for getting ready pictures, I was more concerned with ones of us all dressed up

    I’m doing them but I don’t think they’re necessary. It’s more for the pictures than anything else!
