Boutnineres for my parent's other halves.

Hi, I am wondering if I should do bountnineres for my Stepmother and my Mother's partner?  or should it only be for immediate family.  I consider these women close family.......and the more I got to thinking about it it seems they maybe left out?

If all of the other parents get flowers, the stepmoms should get them too.  Corsages (boutonnieres are for men) are really cheap, so cutting them out won't really save you much money anyway, and it's a little gesture they'd likely really appreciate.

Yes, it's a lovely gesture, particularly if you care about them.

I did flowers for all of the parents: moms, dads, stepmoms, stepdads ... honestly, parent flowers weren't so "costly" that it would have been worth hurting feelings by excluding people. Boutineres and corsages can be kept very simple and done cheaply ... it's not like you'd be paying for an entire extra bouquet or something.

We gave flowers to all the stepparents.  We felt it would've been rude to leave them out.

ditto on PPs, they are like $6-$15 bucks so 2 more wont break your bank!

Thanks.  I wasn't worried about breaking the bank, just crossed my mind after I started putting together the order for flower stuff.
