My niece is getting married and has a dilemma on how to correctly place both her Biological Father and her stepfather on the Wedding Invitation. She loves them both and wishes to place both on the invitation but just don’t know how. What suggestions can you make to help her out with this problem? Her older brother is walking her down the aisle to avoid hurting either of her Fathers but the invitation is a different problem. PLEASE Help

Why can't both fathers walk her down the aisle? If the two men get along, there's no reason that they can't both give her away and both be on the invitation. Hopefully, they both love her enough to put aside any jealous feelings for that day. How the names should appear would depend on how long this man has been her step-father, and who is paying for the wedding. Talk to someone at a stationery store that makes fancy invitations. I'm sure they're up on the etiquette for this kind of situation. Even if you don't plan on buying invitations there, ask them. They'll probably be willing to give you advice in the hopes of getting your business. .

first off:
she can ask BOTH her father's to escort her down the aisle.
Second,
There are many website to help with wording for invitations. definitely include ALL parents names.
For exampe:
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Jones
along with
Mr. Adam Smith
invite you to the wedding of thier daughter
Tiffany Smith
to
Brian Lewis
Son of Mr and Mrs. Allan Lewis...
In this day, it is far too common to have a step-parent involved, No one will think twice about it.

Invitations are almost always issued in the name of the bride's parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if she lives away from home or has been married before. If her parents are deceased, her guardian, a close relative or family friend may sponsor the wedding
When only one parent is living, the invitations are issued in his or her name alone. If the bride's parents are divorced, the name of only one parent - usually the one who raised her - appears on the invitation. If the parent has remarried, the step-parents name also goes on the first line followed by his/her daughter's to indicate relationship.

Lists both sets of parents names.
Sucks biological dad can't walk her down the isle. Hope I don't get screwed like that. I feel I'm pretty close with my daughters but I guess there is always a chance.
My suggestion would be maybe have both fathers walk her down. Not unheard of also.

Mr.(and Mrs.) Father and Mr. and Mrs. Step-Father would like to request the your presents at the wedding of their daughter _______. This day and age thats nothing new. She could have both of them walk her down the isle. but a bother is just as special.

The invitation isn't a family tree.
Whoever is acting as a host should be on the invitation. It frankly doesn't need to say who is who.
Just Mr. XYZ and Mrs. ABC, Mr. DEF and Mr and Mrs. hij
invite you to the marriage of their children ....

Me and my hubby had this problem and ended up having ourselves to invite people
It looked like this:
Hubs full first name and my full first name
would like to cordially invite you to attend etc. etc.
Another option we had was one that went like this but since we didn't want to hurt anyone we decided it best if we ourselves just paid for and printed up the invitations!
My bio father and his wife
AND
My step father and my mom
invite you to attend etc.... however the rest of her wording is. But to honor my
