My stepmother cannot make it to our wedding. Should we still list her under 'Wedding Party', or mention her somewhere else in the program, or leave her name out of the program altogether?

Mention her somewhere else. The designation of "Wedding Party" is for those that actually attend the weddding. But leaving her name off completely is just rude and offensive.

do it where it best fits. If it seems awkward to put her name somewhere else then just put it by your dads in the wedding party. We left out a relative because they could not attend and people were offended, having us have to change the program last minute. Really its easier to include her than not and after its all over you won't care and she will feel honored.

I had a part in the program that listed the parents of the bride and groom. Under my name, I had my mom and step-dad (they were footing most of the bill) and under them I had my dad and step-mom. I did this even though she was not "in" my wedding party. She did not walk down the aisle with the mothers, but I wanted to recognize her as my father's wife.

depends on how much she has played a part in the wedding and how you feel about leaving her out of if you want to mention her at all. Depends on how close you are to her and how you really feel about the sitution. ie: can't stand her but she played a huge part in the wedding then she should be in the wedding program. Go on your judegement and how you feel about it.

I think that you should list all of the family together, but not under 'Wedding Party,' maybe do something under 'family of the bride/groom.' Don't write that she couldn't attend, that will just draw attention to the situation.

If she is ill, i would add a note to explain that. If she is against the wedding, take the name of it.

I think you should include her name somewhere.
I dont understand the point of a wedding program. Just another piece of paper I have to pay for and my guests will throw away.

Why can't she make it?
I would put her name on there.

Maybe you can still put her name where your father's is but put "regretfully unable to attend" in parentheses next to it?
