Dad not Invited

I think that you should talk to FH and FMIL. It may be something really important to her. and yes, while your wedding is all about you. some moms would be upset if this was cut.

My dad was also not invited to my wedding so I hear you. We both thought it was important to keep the mother/child dance so we both ended up dancing with our mums to a song at the same time.

It depends what your partner wants. The Mother/Son dance is probably important to his mother as well. You can definitely do that even if you don't do a Father/Daughter dance.

It's whatever you want - it's your day anyway. I like the idea of transition so you could even be the one to cut into the mother son dance and steal back your Hubby!

My Dad will be at the wedding (assuming he shows up...) but we aren’t dancing. But my FH and his mom are still having a dance

Agree with this!

We had also thought about doing a parent/child dance and having other parents and children join us rather than having them separate and only us dancing one at a time.

My FH's parents have both passed away so we aren't having a mother/son dance. We're thinking of doing the daddy/daughter dance and then halfway through have him cut in and transition to our first dance.

Great Idea about doing something else!

You could totally still do the Mother/Son dance if that’s what your FH wants.

Or you can skip it all together and he can do something else to acknowledge his mother.

This is your wedding. You get to decide on what you do and don’t want.

Good luck!
