     Listing Absent Mother on Wedding Program  

Hi! I am working on our wedding programs and have run in to a dilemma. My fiance was raised by his dad and step-mom. In our engagement announcements it was his dad and step-mom who were listed. However, his birth mother (who left when he was 7 and has not been in his life since) is attending the wedding. Should we list her on the program, and if so - how? He doesn't really think of her as his mother but we also want to follow etiquette.

Thanks.

Jenn

Dear Jenn,

We really only use the program to keep our guests informed of what they will see and why a certain person is doing whatever they are doing. So, if his birth mother is being seated as special, she would be listed. If not, then she would not be listed.

Best wishes,
