So I have no wedding party except my son and fh. The both have bouts. Should I be giving both fathers bouts and I was going to for sure skip the mothers corsages and I have gifted them personalized pocket mirrors with cards. Should I get them bouts and corsages I feel corsages are outdated ... looking for opinions! Thanks!

It's completely up to you. We gave our fathers boutonnieres and our moms corsages, but if you don't like this idea then by no means do you have to do it.

I wouldn’t give them to your fathers if you aren’t going to honor the mothers in the same way.

Up to you!
Besides those in our wedding party we gave
-Dad bout
-Moms corsages
-Siblings a bout or corsage
-Wife of officiant a corsage
-Grandparents a bout or corsage
We did pin-on corsages instead of wrist corsages. It made everything look just a little more festive. You can see my sisters' pin on corsages below.

I think it would be very odd to have body flowers for dads but not for the moms

We did bouts and corsages for all the parents, and they dried and saved them. We also have lovely photos of pinning flowers on each other

Bouts and corsages are traditional to let guests know who the parents and groomsmen are. But it's ok to skip them too.

I agree with the pin-on corsage idea if you don't like wrist corsages. That's what we're doing for our mothers and grandmothers.
