FSIL advice...

Hello Ladies!

Ok...when we got engaged my fsil asked us to not have her as a bridesmaid becuase I guess she had a really bad experience before.  So thats fine so I asked her if she was willing to do a reading to be included in the wedding in some form, which she was ok with. 

Question is....do I get her a gift as well?

Also should I get her a corsage too? I am getting one for my mom, FMIL, and grandma and my sister is the MOH. I just feel as a woman in my family I should make her feel included!

I'd do both. We got small gifts for our readers - I gave one a gift card to Amazon and H gave one a Tigers t-shirt.

I know I gave my aunt a corsage; can't remember if we gave H's uncle a bout. I really want to hope/assume I did!

She isn't required to do any more or less than if you had asked her to be a BM. If you want to honor her and make it known how much you appreciate her, then go ahead and give her a gift.

And anyone that has even a small part in your wedding should have a corsage/boutonniere.

Yes to the corsage.

We gave gifts to everyone who was involved in our wedding.  I read at a wedding once and the bride gave me a scented candle as a gift.

We gave gifts to anyone who did anything for our wedding - so yes, I would give your reader a gift.  It doesn't have to be much.

I would give her the corsage and if you can afford it, a gift as well.

We are not getting flowers for our readers, but we are getting gifts within our budget. I think anything you can afford, even a token gift, would let them know they are appreciated and a valued part of your ceremony.

I was planning to just give my readers a gift. Seeing as one of them is FFIL he's alreay getting a boutineer but now I'm thinking I should give my other reader a corsage.
