As the parents of the bride and since we are paying for the whole wedding, except for what the groom and his family is responsilbe for, I was wondering if it is okay for us to purchase corsages & bouts for the brides aunts and uncles but not for the grooms aunts and uncles since we would be paying for them.
If this is something you wish to do, you may. No one is obligated these days to pay for anything. So anything you or the groom's family contributes is a generous gift.
The gift of corsages are lovley but please do not put the new couple in the position of being accused of playing favorites. I think they need to know what you are doing and have the opportunity to reciprocate with his family. I would hate for your favoritism to be reflected back by any aunt or uncle on his side that might feel left out...even if it is never mentioned it may be felt for years ahead. Your decisions do play into your daughters future and status with his extended family as well. Please include the Bride and Groom in your decision. Playing fair is important...Have a beautiful wedding and good luck. Sue of Hobart's Fine Florals http://www.hobartsfineflorals.com
