Step-Father of the groom???

Give him a flower to match your dads? Are you introducing parents? If so maybe include him.

We're giving FH's step-father a boutonniere to match my dad and FH's dad. FH isn't close to his step-father, but I still wanted to honor him.

Depending on how you're wording the invites, include him on that. Definitely include him if you're introducing the parents at any point. A boutonniere to match the rest of the men in the BP.

I think traditionally, the Groom's father escorts the Groom's mother in to the ceremony (just before the Bride's mom, if my feeble memory serves).

Treat him the way you would treat his bio dad.

@sarah I honestly couldnt find much on the grooms father in general......everything seemed to be geared to the brides parents.....

We havent decided if we're introducing parents but if we do we will definitley include him, and we will give him a matching boutonniere, those are all good ideas! thank you!

Got it. In general the grooms families are responsible for the rehearsal dinner and makes a speech then.

We are treating our step-fathers as we would have our biological. My dad passed away, and FH does not have a relationship with his.

I was going to suggest matching bout as well.

My FHs parents get the parental treatment as well as my dad and stepmom. My mom isnt in the picture anymore and my stepmom is front and center. She will have a corsage as well as my FMIL and the dads will have boutonnieres.

Why wouldn't you treat him as if he's your FHs bio dad? Especially if the bio dad isn't around..

Awe that is sweet of you. Give him a boutineer

Well, how does your FH want to honor him? Does he see him truly as a father figure akin to his biological father?

@Marchbride2018 thqts basically what we're trying to do but i couldnt find much on how to honor the grooms father.

@Lucio@Last .....He was super close to his grandfather he was basically his dad but he passed away last christmas from cancer........ His step-father has been there since he was 4 and has been there for him his whole life...... so i wasnt sure if there was something we should be doing other than the boutonniere.

FMIL is getting hair and makeup with us, and she's involved in all the planning (we're super close) I also already have her gift picked out but wasnt sure if i should get his step father a parent gift for the rehearsal dinner and wasnt sure what to get. Everything i found was like an engraved hammer and that seem like something an 8 year old would get for fathers day. Just trying to see if anyone had any suggestions that maybe they got for their grooms father?

I have a similar situation. Honor him as a parent, because he is one. My FH's step-father will be involved in the ceremony. He's been around since he was a baby, so he very much raised my FH.

Just include the step-father in the wedding, maybe matching tuxes if you'd like. He's a parent.
