Siblings not in the wedding party - do they get corsages and bouts?

I think that's really up to you, personally.

I think its up to you, i didn't do it and my FH didn't get anything special at his sisters wedding in June.

I guess that's up to you, but I'm the first of 6 kids, only one is in the wp. He's the 2nd of 5... none of them are in the wp. I'm going to get flowers for those in the WP and maybe the moms... all three of them. LOL

I don't think it's necessary. I would give corsages or bouts to anyone who is helping or a part of the wedding, like doing a reading. Other options would be 1. give them to all siblings and siblings in law 2. give them to siblings, not in-laws 3. no corsages or flowers for siblings or siblings in law.

I only have 2 non-wedding party siblings and siblings in law, so I am giving them flowers. One is involved with helping and one is not.

@Rebecca - It's truly up to you! I've seen family members recognized with corsages, single flowers, a distinguishing necklace, etc. If you want to do it to have them stand out a little bit, I think it's a really nice gesture. But it's definitely not a requirement

I don't think it is necessary, but can be a nice touch. Are any of them in the wedding?

For us both of his siblings are in the wedding. My brother is walking me down the aisle so he gets one too. I only have one other sibling who will be there, but not involved so I ordered him a bout as a gesture to mark him as a VIP. I didn't want him to be the only important person without. If no one is involved in the wedding you probably don't need to give them anything, but it is fully up to you.

Its up to you really. BM are only having their bouquets. GM will have bout. I'm giving the mothers a bout. (x3) and the fathers corsages (x4). Thats it. FH has 2 half siblings not in the wedding and don't think ill have them wear anything.

I think corsages and bouts are extremely dated -- no body wants to wear them anymore. Corsages are itchy and bouts can ruin a man's suit. Spend all that money and get them a keepsake instead.

Not necessary

Are they in the processional or doing some official function (ie usher)? If not then no.

It's up to you.

Me? The wedding party and the parents got corsages or bouts. My brother wasn't in the wedding party so he didn't get one.

No, not needed.

We are doing the same. 1 MOH 1 BM. My brother and his 3 sisters are not getting corsages or bouts.

Thanks for asking this question Rebecca. I was wondering the same thing, as FH has a brother, but he is not in the wedding party. I was still up in the air about a bout for him. I have been leaning towards bout for his dad, and corsages for our moms and that's it outside of the wedding party.
