    Here's the list so far... Do you typically give other family members corsages or boutonnieres?

    His mom and dad
    My mom and dad
    My 2 grandmas
    My 1 grandpa
    (His grandparents have all passed)
    Groomsmen

    We're doing the following:

    My Mom - one flower to attach to her clutch

    My Dad - bout

    His Mom - Corsage to pin on chest

    His Dad- bout

    Groomsmen - bouts

    Ushers - bouts

    If we had living grandparents they would most certainly get a flower/corsage and bout.

    Also, we have 3 readers.  Two women will be getting corsages and the man a bout.

    Our guest book attendant/program hander outer - corsage

     

    It's a lot but we just want everyone to feel included too.

    so...how about my grandparents girlfriends? both grandmothers have passed, but i dearly love the girlfriends...i would feel strange leaving them out but i'm not sure if it's legit. one has been around since i was a little girl and one has only been around in the past few years. thoughts?

    I'm a little bit in the same boat.. I have a set of step-grandparents who I really love, but am not extremely close to. Do you think I should give flowers to them?

     

    @JennHasFeet, I think you would be fine if you wanted to give them corsages, I def. think it's legit.. and also wonderful that you really like both of them! I say go for it.

    I have on my list: Groomsmen, Ring Bearers, Fathers, Grandfathers, Godfathers, Readers, Godmothers, Program Attendants, Grandmothers, Mothers.

    I think it's just for the important people in your life and wedding party that you would like to have stand out on that day.

    I am giving flowers to pretty much everyone that it crosses my mind to give them to. Better to do so and be inclusive and gracious than to unintentionally slight someone. I am giving corsages to my dad's wife, and to my stepdad's stepmother (my step-step-grandma, who's husband, my step-grandpa, is passed). I am also giving flowers to our readers, ushers, and guestbook girls.

    I really dont want to get FMIL a corsage, i dont think she deserves the recognition after all the things she's done to try to destroy and sabotage our wedding, and they're not contributing AT ALL (financially, emotionally, nothing) but I also don't want to be looked down upon for not doing so.

    Sealed

    Do I really HAVE to?
