I have an interesting invitation predicament for you... Both my parents and my fiance's parents are divorced. My father has been remarried for 20 years, my mother is deceased. My fiance's parents are not remarried.
My dad and stepmom are paying for most of the wedding along with my grandmother (mother of my dad) My fiance and I are contributing the remaining expenses. Also the wedding will be in my dad's backyard and will be very informal.
My fiance thinks his mother will be offended if not listed on the invitations. I am mostly wondering how to include my grandma as she is paying almost as much as my dad.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Carrie

Dear HikerGirl,
This isn't that unique, although it may seem so. Basically, your dad and his wife are hosts, so you would list their names first. Your grandmother's name would be listed directly under their names without "and". If you wish to list your fiance's mother (optional), you could list her name under his as :son of ________. But, you should list both of his parents' names if so.
