Step mother of the bride question

Maybe get her something with her name on it or just don't personalize it.

Their names would be on the front and title on the back. I already had other personal things for each one. I just wanted to add this too. Thanks

What if you did something more general like 'brides entourage' or something like that. personally I don't like 'step mother of the bride'. My mom passed earlier this year and it's been so hard trying to grieve and plan a wedding. I'm still deciding if I'm going to ask my close aunt to be there with me and help me get ready. If so I will get her some things I'm getting my bridesmaids, but I think I will do something general. I've read a lot of the forums where then brides have given personal things like this they rarely use them again. A robe at home might be one thing, but they may be more likely to use it again if it didn't have 'bridesmaids' or anything like that on the back. Maybe just do their name or monogram on the front? Just a suggestion.

Ok thanks. I thought it would look good for pictures purposes just the 3 of us but that was it mainly. For my bridesmaids I have just gotten them things with their name on it nothing to do with the wedding. So I get what your saying. I may just nix the whole idea. Thanks ladies

I'd skip the personalization. Not only to avoid the awkwardness, but they'd be more usable for the future.

I agree with Jess. Skip the titles and just personalize with their names. That way the robe is always tied to your wedding, but is a gift they can use for years to come.

Slightly related question... would you do Mrs. Soandso or your first name on your own?

@mallori. I did Mrs. Shakir on the back with the date and My Intitial on the front.

Thanks!

That's a tough one. Do you call her by her name? If so I would just use personal name instead of titles.

I call her Miss Faye. I've done so since I was younger but me and my sister are the only ones who call her that

We used Bonus Mom of the Bride. It was better than Step Mom.
