     Wedding in TWO months! I need help with the wording of grandparents in the program...  

Okay, I have three sets of grandparents and my husband has two.

This is how I have them worded so far in the program. Can someone please tell me if this is correct, or should I change something?

Grandparents of the Bride

.…………………. Mrs. Eleuteria Downey and husband Donald

…………………….. Mr. Frederick C. Krause, III and wife Dixie

…………………………….…..… Mr. & Mrs. Frank Cavazos, IV



Grandparents of the Groom

In Memoriam Mr. Zandas Cantu & Mrs. Magdalena Cantu (unable to attend)

In Memoriam Mr. Lorenzo Varela & Mrs. Maria Varela (unable to attend)

** Do I also need to add the last name of the step-grandparent?? Also in the grandparents of the groom, is there a shorter version that I could use when one grandparent is deceased and when one is unable to attend?

Thank you so much!!

Dear Dre,

The program is basically a guide for the guests. They really don't need to know a person's name who isn't attending unless it is a parent. But, if this is something you wish to do, separate the names of those deceased and those who are not attending. The way you have it, all are deceased and they cannot attend, which would make sense if they are deceased. So, only write the names of those who are alive. In another area list your 'in memoriam' (s) or list the deceased grandparents under those who are still with us.

Yes, it is best to include the last names.

Best wishes,
