My sister-in-law is helping her soon-to-be daughter-in-law w/ invitations. Here's the deal. My sis in law (the mother of the groom) IS MARRIED to the father of the groom BUT wants to list her maiden name on the invitation. How can she do that? I'm thinking:
..........son of
Mr. John Shafer and Mrs. Cynthia Smith Shafer
but that wounds like they're divorced. How can she include her maiden name. Any expert advice. I guess this would apply for those married women w/ hyphenated names? Don't know.
What is the reason for listing her maiden name? Just wondering...makes it much more difficult. Is this the name she goes by and people know her as?
I would simply use the name everyone knows her by to relieve confusion. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
