Listing deceased grandparents on the wedding program
Hi, we are working on our programs, and we have a memorial note with our deceased grandparents listed in the acknowledgements. What is the etiquette regarding the order to list them? Do you list them in order by date of death, or do you list all of the bride's family and then all of the groom's family? Is there a rule as to how this is done?
Also, both of us have grandparents who remarried after their first spouse died. Do you list them together with their first or second spouse?

Dear Jschafer,
You could list those 'in memoriam' under everyone's names or under each family's names. This is your choice. More often than not, these names are listed under everyone's names, because an 'in memoriam' is supposed to be indiscreet. List the women first and then the men--bride's and groom's. There shouldn't be a long list; only a couple names is best.
The grandparents are listed with their current spouse as: Grandfather of the bride and wife.
