Stepmom Etiquette. Help!

You could invite stepmom to go dress shopping and/or alterations appointments. You could ask her to attend any of the other appointments too. Venues, florals, etc.

As for the actual ceremony, have her escorted in like a parent typically is. Get her a corsage. She'll be thrilled.

You could have her sat by an usher before the ceremony, like the mom typically is!

So my mom and step mom dont have issues but I am very close with step family so my step mom is walking with her father

Yes I get that. I am including my step mom in like walking and intros and that but she says she is staying behind the scenes. Talk to her it may help

I'm not that close with mine, but I had her escorted in by one of my brothers in the processional. I had both my mom and my dad walk me down the aisle, so I felt like this was a way to do it so that she felt good but obviously my mom had a larger role. I also had my mom there getting ready, while my stepmom just came early for family photos.

First, chat with your mom and tell her that you will be including step mom in different ways and your hope is she can be ok with that. Then, figure how you want to have step mom involved. As far as the big day, I have seen where the order of family members escorted in prior to bridal party would be... step mom, parents of groom, then brides mother. If they can, seat the mom & step mom in the same pew, other wise stepmom behind mom.

Awesome! thank you so much. talking to my mom before hand is something I should've thought of myself so I definitely well. Thank you!

According to my florist, who is a family friend, when it comes to flowers you treat moms & step moms the same. My FH's step mom will get the same corsage as his mom and my mom. I'm inviting FH's step mom to get her hair & makeup done with us if she likes. I would definitely have your step mom walked down by an usher too.
