How many people need corsages?

Mrs. S, on August 11, 2019 at 12:04 PM Posted in Planning 0 10
Y’all I have been planning for a year and a half and I am second guessing everything lol. I have a large family with all the step-everything, and we don’t believe they’re lower ranked because they’re step. We do family is family, step aunt = aunt, stepbrother = brother, etc.

These are the people I am for sure getting corsages and bouts for:
Dads and stepdad, moms and stepmom, grandfather and stepgrandfathers, grandmothers and step grandmothers, groomsmen/bridesman (incl. biological brothers), groom, officiant, 2 stepbrothers who are not in the wedding party.

My fiancé’s brother has a wife, stepbrother 1 has a fiancée, my brother/bridesman has a five-year girlfriend, and stepbrother 2 is single. Should I get a corsage for my fbil’s wife? If I do that I feel I need to get one for the fiancée and the long term girlfriend. I really don’t mind paying but also idk if that’s just too much and unnecessary or if it would be a nice gesture. What do you think?

    Normally you only get the wedding party and the parents corsages and boutineers and grandparents if there still around thats it . So if you have the money to spend to get them all one thats up to you but normally just the ones i stated are ones who get corsages or boutineers....good luck

    We are not getting corsages or bouts for anyone’s SO. I think what you’re already planning for is fine.

    Your existing plan is fine! We also limited to the bridal party and parents. We don't have any living grandparents, otherwise we would have included them too.

    For us, bouts went to groomsmen (included my brother), my dad & stepdad, and his dad. Corsages went to my mom, his mom, and his stepmom. We didn't include his stepbrothers in the bouts but they did sit in the front row with family & go to the rehearsal dinner and all that. I think including the wife and girlfriend are nice gestures.

    We skipped them entirely. My mom didn't care about it and neither did his, so we decided we'd rather not waste money on it.
