My son is getting married. His father was remarried, but is since deceased and I am not re-married. He is close to his stepmother. The brides parents and I are planning the wedding and I am contributing financially..He is wondering if it is necessary to include his stepmother on the invitation. My answer was no, since she is not hosting/contributing, but, I would like the opinion of an expert. Thamk You.

Dear D4della,
Actually, even if parents are contributing, the couple plans everything. They decide on all of the elements. But, the invitations are the last of the old tradition of parents hosting and reflect those who are. So, only those hosting need to be listed. She and his father could be listed under your son's name as, also the son of the late Mr. Father and Mrs. Stepmother, if he wants to include his father's name and feels as if she is a mother to him.
