wedding invitation word advice needed - divorced parents?

Question

what's the easiest way to put 5 parents' names on the wedding invitation? we are hosting the event, but wanted to put these 5 people on the invitation:

mr. and mrs. bride's parents
groom's mom
groom's dad and wife (stepmom of groom)

i appreciate any advice you have. thank you!

Answer 1

Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
along with
Mrs. Jane Dear
and
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Black

request the honor of your presence
at the wedding of their children

Linda Ellen
and
Micheal Steven

on the 31st of October
Two thousand and eight

you get the idea for the rest :)

Put the bride's parents first, then the groom's mother then the groom's father and his wife, you don't need to "label" them, you can do that in the program, if you wish. On the invitation just put their names.

Best wishes!

Answer 2

I am not certain how to word it , but if you go to a store where they sell wedding invites they uually have books with all the wedding invites, in the books they have different ways to word invites for different situations. It may go something like:

Mr. and Mrs. John Thompson
request your presence in the marriage of
their daughter

Susan May Thompson

to

Matthew Jones

son

of

Ms. Mary Jones (mother)
and
Mr. & Mrs. Steven Jones (Dad and Stepmom)

Remember Ms. is for a person that is divorced. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Mr. and Mrs. John Jones (brides parents) are please to announce the marriage of their daughter

Lindsey Ann

to Mr. James R. Johnstone

son of:

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Johnstone (grooms dad and stepmom)
and
Mrs. Maryann Johnstone (if she changed her last name to her maiden name use that) (groom's Mother)

on Saturday the 15th of June Two Thousand and Seven
at 4:00 oclock
in the afternoon
at St. Pius Catholic Church
(address)

Answer 4

Parents of the bride - Mr & Mrs ?
Parents of the groom - Mr & Mrs ? and groom's mom

Congratulations on your wedding...may you have a beautiful day and long, happy life together!

Answer 5

"Together with their Families"

"their families" includes everyone, keeps the wording simple and to the point and fits nicely on the invitation.

So, something like:


Together with their Families.

Jane A. Doe

and

John A. Smith

request your presents
to celebrate their marriage
on Saturday, the twenty seven of July
two thousand and seven

at two o'clock in the afternoon
at St. John's Church
Some Town, Some State

Reception to Follow

Answer 6

Jane Helen,
daughter of John and Lisa Doe,
and
Joe Frank,
son of George (Sue) Cool and Brenda Cool,
request the honour of your presence.....

- after your dad's first name, put the stepmom's first name in brackets, followed by your mom's name (Brenda Cool).

Answer 7

you say... we are pleased to announce "brides name" daughter of mr. and mrs. "parents name to "grooms name" son of "mom's name" and "dad and stepmoms name".
for example :
we are pleased to anounce the marriage of "jane jones" daughter of "mr and mrs jones" to "joe johnson" son of "mary johnson" and "jim and judy johnson".

Answer 8

my husband and I had this issue at our wedding. We just simply said "together with their families"

It pleased everyone.
