I am in need of some help with how to list parents names on invitations when they are divorced. They are my fiances parents, his mom is contributing but his dad is not. How do i list their names with my parents (who are married) on the invitation?

    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!

    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! Smiley smile

    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".
