What should dad's girlfriend wear?

Lexi, on March 29, 2018 at 11:38 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

First off, my parent's have been divorced for a few years now, my dad has been with his girlfriend for almost 2 years. I'm not super close with her, but if I see her I will have a casual conversation with her. For the ceremony she will be sitting up next to my dad and mom, for the reception she will be sitting at the same table as my dad, mom, fmil, ffil.

She recently asked me if I want her to wear anything specific. I told her I'd think about it and let her know, because honestly, I have no idea!? I really don't care what she wears as long as it isn't sloppy looking but I don't want to be rude to her. I also don't want to let her wear a "mother of the bride/groom" dress because I feel like she be at the same position as my mom, even though I only met her 2 years ago. But I want her to feel included and important also.

What are you having your dad's girlfriend wearing??

    What Nicole said.......

    Does she normally dress sloppy? If not, why would you worry about that?

    What Nicole said is perfect, just let her chose what she wears. She doesn’t need to wear a certain “role” dress

    I would say what ever she is comfortable in

    It's not the bride's place to tell anyone other than the bridal party what to wear.

    If she doesn't know the wedding party colors, I would tell her that so she doesn't clash in pictures. Other than that, she's an adult and can dress herself.

    I think she should dress to the formality of what your dad is wearing. If he's wearing a tux or a nice suit, I don't think it would appropriate for her to be less formal just because she's not the MOB. I honestly don't think what she wears will take away from your mom or the MOG either.

    I agree with matching the formality of your dad. To be honest MOB dresses don't have the title written on the sleeve so even if she bought one marketed as a MOB dress no one else is going to know that. Technically my mom bought a dress from the 'bridesmaid' section..that doesn't make her any less MOB.
