My parents are divorced. Mom kept her married name and dad has remarried. All parents want to be included on the invitations (I want to include stepmother). Since my parents will be included, FI wants his parents on the invitations as well. Other than my mom paying for the flowers and photographer, FI and I are paying entire wedding. How do I word the invitation including everyone?

Re: [teachin1] How do I include all parents?

Dear How do I include,
Honestly, you do not need to include any of the parents on your invitation because you and your fiance are hosting your wedding. By including your parents names, it is stating that they are hosting your event. But, if this is what you and your fiance want to do, this is how you would say it:
(Ms.) Mom Smith
Mr. and Mrs. Dad Smith
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter--your name, to, his name on separate lines
How do I include all parents?
