     Invitation wording for divorced parents of groom  

My fiance's parents are divorced, and his father has remarried, but his mother has not. Should his stepmother's (and my future step-mother-in-law) name be on the invitation announcements? Or just his father and mother's names? We don't want to hurt her feelings by excluding her, but want to do the proper thing. Thank you.

Dear Sarah,

Unless they are contributing or hosting your wedding, their name do not have to be listed. It is always a nice gesture, but is rarely done. Only list the step-mother if the groom's parents are co-hosting your wedding.

If all parents are hosting

Mr. and Mrs. Your Parents

Mr. and Mrs. His Parents (includes stepmother)

Ms. Groom's mother's name

request the honour of your presence

at the marriage of

You

to

Mr. Groom

etc.







If you are simply including the groom's parents:

Mr. and Mrs. Your Parents

request the honour of your presence

at the marriage of their daughter

You

to

Mr. Groom

son of Mr. Groom's Dad' s Name

Ms. Mom's Name

etc.
