Divorced parents invitation wording

On the envelope i would put the names seperately and the wording on our invitation said we (the grooms representing)

Love it!! I was worried about my invites to. I have divorced parents, he doesn’t. This helped me solve the problem before it came up haha. Your Invites are lovely

Final invitation

Hi everyone,

here is the finished product!

Thanks again

Hey Stephanie, now that you've found a resolution for the parents wording, have you made any progress on choosing your invitation style? Can we see??

We did together with their families - as my parents are still together, but husbands parents were divorced and remarried, but dad had past away.

Thanks! It seemed like the easiest option to make sure everyone was included and no one was offended!

View quoted message We had the exact same situation and came up with the same solution! "Together with their families" is classy and all-encompassing. Way to be Andrea! 💜

No problem! It's a sticky one to navigate and it continued to be that way through the planning process. We wanted everyone involved but obviously everyone's dynamics were different. This was a good compromise.

We also ended up having our 3 groomsmen walk the 3 moms down the aisle and then the bridesmaids walked alone at the beginning of the ceremony. They walked as pairs after the ceremony and the moms all went their separate ways for cocktail hour.

A few extra steps in planning, but everything worked out well! Good luck!

Thank you Andrea, i think that is what we will do!

View quoted message This is a great way to avoid all complications.

My husband's parents are divorced and mine are married, so this is something we dealt with. His dad is remarried and his mom is not, so it was an extra layer of complications when we were considering wording.

We opted to simply state on our invitations that "Together with their families, Bride & Groom invite you to share in the celebration as they exchange marriage vows on Date at 4:00 in the afternoon at Venue".
