Thanks so much for having this wonderful site!! I wish that I would have found it earlier!
Okay, here is the scoop. I need to write the wording on the Invitations, but am having a slight problem.
My parents are divorced. Both of them have remarried, but I am not sure of how to word it on the invitations.
I do not like my mother's new last name and don't want it on the invitations. I know that might seem selfish but there is a lot more too it than that. I also don't like him that much, which is another part of it, but how do I phrase it if I do not want her last name on the invite?
I hope this makes some sense. I know that I can't put Mr and Mrs. (?) want to invite you because they are no longer married but just am not sure of how to include both of my parents the right way.
Thanks for all of your help!

If you two are hosting your wedding, you don't need to list your parents on the invitation. If your mother is contributing, then her husband is also contributing and should be listed on the invitation. If you just want to list your parents on the invitation and it doesn't matter about contributions, you would still have to list her last name, as it is hers now. "Mom" wouldn't be a good title.
If both of my parents are contributing to the wedding would it be accceptable if we were put something like "the parents of" or is there another way to phrase it where I don't have to list everyones names because it is both of my parents and their husband and wife that are all helping with the wedding I really don't want to put MR and Mrs and Mr and MRs. Is there a simplier way of doing this?
Thanks again for all of your help.
