Our son has lived with us for 4 years (legal guardianship). He calls us mom and dad. We are helping to pay for and plan his wedding. His biological mother and her husband are guests. How do we list everyone in the program?

Dear Sbeadle,
Unless they are being seated as special, you don't have to mention them in the program. The program is just a device to help guests understand who the principal players are and what is actually going on during the wedding.
If they are being seated as special, they would be listed as special guests.

How should my husband and I be listed? Guardians of groom, even though he isn't a minor anymore?

Dear Sbeadle,
The couple decides who is listed and how they are listed in their programs. These are optional documents only used to assist in helping guests know who the principal players are and what is actually going on--members of the bridal party, special seating and elements of the ceremony.
So, if you are being treated as the parents of the groom or are being seated as special, you would be listed in the program as either foster parents of the groom or parents of the groom.
