Grandparents

Moira, on August 26, 2022 at 3:27 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

We plan on doing boutonnières and corsages for our grandparents, but we have a mixed family so we have a smalll disagreement!

My FH father remarried 20+ years ago, so we plan on giving the step moms parents each one since they have been around so long and have always treated my FH like one of his own!

My FH mother, I have never met her parents and I personally did not want to give them one, but is that cruel? They are not close with my FH at all and they live up here half the year. Never any happy birthdays, Christmas cards, nothing. They have never spoken to my FH at least since I have been with him. So they don't give me the grandparent vibe. I can guarantee I will never see them again after the ceremony.

    I think this is up to FH. It's his family so the decision should be his. If he wants to give them some flowers, at the end of the day it's not a huge thing and they'll probably appreciate it.

    I still think that you should because it's the right and respectable thing to do. As the saying goes respect your elders and it's just a flowers and you dont want no mishaps or awkwardness at your wedding less of a headache

    I would give them the boutonnières and corsages. Even if they’re not close, they are the grandparents. If you’re giving flowers to your grandparents, I would give them to his as well.

    I think it would be both rude and cruel to leave out one set of grandparents.

    I agree with Jessi, they are your FH grandparents so he should decide. My fiance hardly speaks to his father, I have met the man once in the 4 1/2 years we've been together. So anything pertaining to him I let my fiance decide. He decided to invite him but his father is not walking in the procession or getting a boutonniere. However his step dad, who is more like a dad to him and is helping pay for the wedding, is walking in the procession and getting a boutonniere. But again, I left all of this up to my fiance.
