How should i word this without hurting anyone's feelings? what is the correct way to word my wedding program?

Question

Specifically, when it comes to putting down the parents for my fiancé. His mom and dad split when he was six and both remarried, and he lived with his mom and stepdad. When he was ten his mom died, so he went to live with his dad and stepmom, but they sent him to his grandma Jeans' to live. He considers his grandma the closest thing to a mom besides Peggy(his mom). ok here is the thing-can i put Ricky(his dad) and Peggy, or not? what should i put? i have no clue.

Answer 1

Seems like some people are not really reading your question. Your asking about the program, not the invite. My parents are divorced as well and on the right side of my program I'm listing all the grandparents, parents and the wedding party. My parents split when I was 9 and I've only seen my dad 3 times since then and now I'm 23. Anyway, my dad isn't even walking me down the aisle, his dad (my grandpa) is and some of our grandparents are no longer with us. So this is my plan:

(Dad's Mother) Grandmother of the Bride
(Dad's Father) Grandfather of the Bride
(Fiance's Grandma) Grandmother of the Groom
(My Mom) Mother of the Bride
(My Dad) Father of the Bride
(His Mom) Mother of the Groom
(His Dad) Father of the Groom

Then I'll start with the wedding party. I have a step-mom too and I'm not including her at all. I hope this helps you! Good Luck!

Answer 2

Thats a lot to consider but I think less is more in this situation so keep it simple--if the program is simply telling who are the parents then yes put both his real parents names maybe not like Ricky&Peggy but listed as two individuals. If this is something thats acknowledging all important people at the wedding then maybe list his dad and stepmom, mom and stepdad, and possible special acknowledgment of his grandma. IF you're still doubtful, there are probably books/websites etc that have examples of the proper etiquette. Don't stress too much remember this is to celebrate you two! Good luck and blessings.

Answer 4

i comprehend this sounds lots much less difficult than it certainly is yet only ignore approximately her! in case you harm and disenchanted her in some way then that makes you only as undesirable as she is. now and returned respecting women persons (and persons in genral) would be approximately understanding while to upward thrust above it and walk away, it incredibly is obviously greater respectful than sticking the knife in. additionally think of approximately how lots greater advantageous you will experience in case you only drop it. correct now you're no longer in college together with her you're at abode questioning approximately her and posting on boards to purpose and think of of hassle-free tactics to disenchanted her! it incredibly is a waste of time and ability spent hating somebody that ought to spend greater productively else the place. I heard as quickly because it incredibly is worse for somebody to be indiffrent to you and to no longer care in any respect than to hate you. So only be indiffrent to her! good success :)

Answer 5

Usually the wording is for the people who are hosting the wedding.
See if you can find something among these that might help.

Answer 6

My husband and I were in a similar situation. Since we were paying most of the costs for our wedding, our invitation listed only OUR names.

"Anthony R. Doe and Melanie L. Smith invite you to share in their joy as they begin their new life together...."

Answer 7

Instead of putting names I would go with something like
Jane Smith & Jim Jones, along with their families, request the honor of your presence at their wedding, blah blah blah.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
