I know this is a common issue, but I couldn't find a question or response that quite fit my situation. My parents have been divorced for over 11 years. My father has been remarried for 10 yrs. There has been no communication between my parents since the divorce. My mom (not re-married) will be offended if I put my dad's wife on the ceremony program because she is not technically a parent, but my dad will be offended if I don't. What do I do?! My father and stepmother are paying the most out of all the parents for the wedding. How would I list them on the program? Could you show me using both examples: step-mom included and not included.
Mom Jane Smith
Dad & step John & Mary Smith
Thank you so much for your expert advise!

Re: [krisy55k] program-parents divorced, one remarried

Dear Krisy,
It is usually: Mother of the Bride: Ms. Jane Smith. Father of the Bride and wife: Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Mary Smith. You should include his wife because the guests will most likely want to know who the woman is with him.
