Question

Does the grooms mothers new husband get a boutineer for the wedding? Grooms real father is not attending. ?

Answer 1

It is his stepdad now. I think it would be a nice thing to do! I'm gonna be giving my ex stepdad one.

Answer 2

Sure, why not.  If you can afford it; get one for him.  It will only make the new husband feel more like a part of the family and will make your mother happy.  Trust me women love "family togetherness".  

Answer 3

I would, especially if the real dad isn't going to be there to be offended.  Personally I would do it either way.

Answer 4

My future husband and I both have two sets of remarried parents. That 8 people considered "parents" in our wedding party. We will likely get all of them flowers even though my dad's new wife has only been in the family for a few months.  

Answer 5

It's not required, but it would certainly be a nice gesture, especially if he's a significant person in his stepson's life.

Answer 6

Jeez just get him one.  Are you that cheap?

Answer 7

I think the rule of thumb is whoever is wearing a tux gets a boutineer.

Answer 8

If you want to honor him that way, and the groom's mom thinks it would be appropriate, then yes, he should wear a buttoniere.
