Corsage or boutonniere for mother and FMIL... or nothing?

I don't know if i should get my mother and future mother-in-law a corsage or boutonnier? Or do u not have to give them anything at all. Since men usually get boutonnier i wanted my mother to feel included and i want to make her feel included. Suggetions?

    I think im going to ask them first to see what they prefer. From there i'll see what. I DO want to give them something because i dont think its fair only the guys get something. Smiley smile

    Wrist corsages are so 1982. it's still called a boutonniere when a woman wears it, but the florist designs it differently so it's more feminine. and yes you should get them for all the women in the wedding party, including grandparents.

    We just met with a florist yesterday and both my mom and mil went with me...they both opted for a crosage..they felt that the boutonierre would get destroyed after hugging so many people at the reception and felt the crosage would be more out of the way but still pretty...just ask them what they want if you dont have a preference!
