Widowed Mother-in-law wants husbands name on Invitation.
My future Mother in-law would like to have her late husbands name on the invitation, considering her son is still, the son of her late husband. They lost him only four years ago, so it has been hard on the family. She is not hosting the event, so we were wondering if it would be inappropriate to say my name to my fiancé’s name, son of his father’s name and then his mother’s name. Or what would you suggest. To we had his father’s name somewhere else? As well, my fiancé is a Doctor of med, do we put Dr. X or Doctor X on the invitation or is it just his full name? THANK YOU!!

Dear Widowed Mother-in-law,
You can add the father's name. As such: Mrs. MOG request the honour of your presence at the marriage of Miss Your Name to her son Doctor Groom's Name who is also the son of the late Father's Name. It is important that it does not appear as if the late father is issuing the invitation.

Would it hurt you or your fiance to do so? If not, then what do you have to lose by including his name. It will keep the peace among your family and not bother anyone (plus some people will probably consider it sweet). Fellow Bride
