What is the etiquette for doing the mother/son dance when both mom and step-mom are around? My FH has been married before and he danced with his step-mom then, his real momther never went to the wedding (I dont think she was even invitied truthfully). His real mother is coming to our weddig and I feel like he should do a mother son dance since she has never had that moment with her son. Now my FH doesn want to do the dance and then have his step-mother feel left out. Has anyone else have a similar sitution? FH thinks he should just skip the dance and I suggested he do two seprate dance.

It's up to him and what he feels comfortable doing. My MOH had her dad walk her down the aisle and did father/daughter dance with her step dad. Maybe there's another part of the wedding where you can include his mother, and have him do the mother/son dance with his step mom?

I would leave the decision up to him. FH is dancing with his mom and stepmom and I am choosing not to do a father/daughter dance.

Like PP's have said, it's completely up to your FH. It depends on how he feels and what his relationship is like with his mom. For example, my step dad raised me. He truly is my dad. I will be dancing with him and he will be walking me down the aisle. My biological father will most likely be there and he may be "hurt" but he truly does not deserve those moments with me. So it's definitely circumstantial and up to your FH!

Step out of this. This is FH's call and he said he doesn't want to do it. It isn't up to you to decide that his mom should have that opportunity if he isn't on board.

I am not deciding for him at all. I was just looking to see if any else had similar situations with stepparents and had ideas on how to do something for both of them. The final decision is to FH and he hasn't 100% made up his mind yet
