Grandmother's Attire

Question: My Grandmother asked me what she should wear to my wedding. What should I tell her?

Answer: If Grandma is asking you what she should wear, odds are she wants to be involved. Look at what your other key players in your wedding party are wearing. Perhaps she could wear something that coordinates with the wedding colors and the rest of the wedding party.

She shouldn’t be dressier than the mothers. If they are wearing dress suits, she could wear something similar. If they are going for a more formal look then she can, too.

The key points are:

• She should fit into the wedding
• She shouldn’t upstage the mothers and definitely not the bride herself
• She should be a person of honor (So she should get a corsage, along with the mothers)

Other than that, it’s pretty much up to you. If you’re all wearing jeans, let her know and invite her to do so. (Things would likely have been more formal in her time, so she may not be anticipating that.) Just let her be involved and let her know how much it matters that she asked what you think. Not everyone will be so thoughtful.
