Mother-of-the-Bride dresses have been a thing for almost every wedding I have attended and it is something I am excited to search for and treat my own Mom with for our wedding. However, I feel like my FMIL should feel equally as important and special -- after all, she raised the amazing man whom I am so lucky to love.
Is it odd if I make it a 'thing' to get her a Mother-of-the-Bride dress that compliments the wedding party and my Mom's dress while we search for hers? His family is overall quite traditional, but his parents and most of his aunts and uncles are unmarried. I am hoping this would be a good opportunity to bond and help her feel as involved and important as she should on our big day. I also do not want her to feel awkward at all and this hasn't been a tradition or custom any of my friends or family have heard of.
Has anyone else done this and have a positive experience with the search, purchase, etc.?
Thank you guys in advance!
