Additional boutonnieres & corsages-- Are they necessary?

I'm skipping it

I'm doing it. They didn't end up being that expensive for us and I figured it would be worth it to make family members feel special. We ordered for parents and grandparents.

They're totally optional. We did them for parents and grandparents because they weren't that expensive.

Skipping it, even though it's only $20 for a corsage, and $8 for bouts. Someone's advice keeps ringing in my ear: save where you can, save where you can.

We are doing it. Simply because it was cheap and I know my mom and grandmother, especially, would appreciate it. We are only doing corsages for my mom, FH mom, my grandma. Only doing bouts for FH, my dad, FH dad, and my grandpa. Easy peas.

I'd skip favors before I'd skip this....it's not unnecessary. It's a tiny show of honor for them.

I ordered mine from Costco! The reviews are really good and you can customize the order to fit your needs! Prices are pretty good too.

I'd skip it because flowers aren't that much of a priority for us, but I *know* not having one would give my parents an excuse to piss and moan (which they'll most likely do anyway, but an ounce of prevention...). The extra $30 would be worth it.

I wondering...do you need to get boutonnieres for readers?

Totally doing it to honor them.

We're not doing boutonnieres or corsages for anyone... it just seems like a waste to buy something that pretty much everyone will toss right after the wedding.

I would honestly rather skip having favors then skipping bouts and corsages. Corsages and bouts for parents and grandparents are given to honor them. We are using all fake flowers so it is something they can keep. And with how sentimental our parents and grandparents are, I know they won't be wasted and thrown in the trash

Necessary? No. But many wedding related items aren't.

We did bunches of them, they didn't cost a lot but they sure seemed to mean a lot to the recipients.

Greenleaf--tons of stuff will get tossed

Parents and grandparents here. $10 bouts $20 corsages

Right now we are doing corsages for the moms. Both sets of dads kind of side-eyed us about paying for boutonnieres, and even though my mom is on the side-eye squad, FH's mom LOVES that kind of stuff so he wants to do it.

We will be doing, it's not expensive at all. We don't have a bridal party so just doing parents, grandparents, and siblings isn't a major cost. It's a nice gesture towards those closest to us.

As MOG, honestly, I would have been hurt to think I wasn't important enough to even get a corsage.

Plus, going totally traditional with costs, we (groom's famiIy) paid for all the body flowers other than the bridesmaid's bouquets, so I got to make sure there were plenty of flowers for everyone.

I would talk with the parents. Mine were VERY upset when I considered skipping this.

To me it is not a deal but to them it was a HUGE deal.

I'm not doing them, for anyone. The guys (in my wedding atleast) don't care about flowers and I just think its a waste of $. I get how some people find them sentimental though.

It was in the budget so we did it.

Ask them if they'd like one. My dad likes that stuff, my mom hates corsages so I'm not getting her one!
