     Wedding announcement and listing parent's names  

My long time fiance and I were married earlier this week and are planning to send out announcements. I was looking over the format and it seems fairly common to include parents in some form but the parent situation is complicated for both of us. My mother is deceased, but I was adopted at a young age by my "step" mother. I would rather list my step mother in the announcement, but I'm concerned this will offend the parents of my biological mother. Also both my parents and the grooms parents are now divorced so I'm not sure how we should list their names and if we should use maiden names or married names for the moms. Finally we were married at the courthouse so would we just list the name and address of the courthouse as the wedding location or just skip that part entirely? thank you in advance for the advice.

Dear Glover,

You don't have to mention parents at all, especially since you had a very private wedding. Your announcement could be:

Sally James

and

Mr. Tom Smith

announce their marriage

Date

Location (could just be the city)



Best wishes,
