You've got to ask. Have you got a MIL/Mum in common? Have you asked other family members?

SBHon · 25/08/2023 18:45

Ask SIL.

… me being nosy; did you mean seven year old daughters or that you have SEVEN daughters??

WantToBeAMamma · 25/08/2023 18:46

Yes, that's 7 daughters

No it would be strange, and they'd just look like bridesmaids.

frazzledasarock · 25/08/2023 18:50

If you put your seven daughters in bridesmaid dresses you will piss off the bride. They’ll get mistaken for the wedding party.

personally I’d find it funny and think you’re batshit. But the bride most likely won’t be amused.

Flipflopflopflip · 25/08/2023 18:51

7 girls in bridesmaids dresses are going to look like, well, bridesmaids... If that's the look you're going for then get ready to piss off the bride. If not I'd suggest different dresses!

What a realistic and genuine conundrum you have there.

Go for it - comedy gold

Theunamedcat · 25/08/2023 18:54

Dye them different colours?

Nearly chocked on me snickers 😂

ChrisPPancake · 25/08/2023 18:55

I think ask first. Even if they're actually bridesmaids!

God no, please don't

It is not ok to turn up to a wedding with a load of kids in matching outfits .

Are you actually that annoyed your girls aren't bridesmaids or are you skint and was hoping to reuse them? Can you sell them off and then raid Vinted or similar for DIFFERENT dresses?

How old are they? Surely past about 10 yo they won't want to match anyway

Two sets of twins and one set of triplets per chance?

WantToBeAMamma · 25/08/2023 19:15

All singletons. Still holding out for twins.

Sorry, I don't get what your insinuating.

Gazelda · 25/08/2023 19:39

This is an absolutely ludicrous idea.

They will look like a pack of bridesmaids. Your cousin will have her own bridesmaids.

Think about it for a minute ...

WantToBeAMamma · 25/08/2023 19:45

The bride is my niece. Does that make any difference?

I can’t see why it would? What’s your reasoning?

FinnRustle · 25/08/2023 20:15

If you can arrange them on the church steps and get them to sing So Long Farewell from The Sound of Music as the bride exits, so much the better.

Have you worked out what's causing it yet?

Littlefish · 25/08/2023 20:28

It's an absolutely batshit idea, unless you have specifically asked the bride, and shown her photographs (unless she was at the previous wedding).

They are not bridesmaids at this wedding, so shouldn't be dressed as bridesmaids.

It’s not as good as T-Rexxing in Asda, though.

OliveWah · 25/08/2023 20:56

I mean, PP's are right - if they're bridesmaid dresses then your DDs will look like bridesmaids, but for the cost of buying another seven dresses for one day, I would ask the Bride how she feels about it, she may be fine with it!
