Hi everyone!
My mom passed away unexpectedly and suddenly about a year and a half ago. We were extremely close. My dad is hosting the wedding so I want to honour him with the traditional wording and host line.
I really like the idea of naming my mom in the invitation and including her. I’ve struggled to find a wording combination which shows my dad is hosting and mentions my mom.
I have these options.
1) Mr Richard Patroch request the honour of the presence at the marriage of his and the late Brenda Patroch’s daughter...
2) Mr. Richard Patroch requests the honour of your presence at the marriage of his daughter,
(Bride)
daughter of the late Brenda Patroch
3) Similar to #2 -
Mr. Richard Patroch requests the honour of your presence at the marriage of his daughter,
(Bride)
daughter of Richard Patroch and late Brenda Patroch
What do you think? I like #1 the best but does it sound ok? #3 is a bit repetitive.
#4 A fourth option is
(Bride)
daughter of Mr. Richard Patroch and the Brenda Patroch
&
(Groom)
son of....
request the honour
The issue I have with #4 is that my dad isn’t mentioned as a host and therefore isn’t issuing the invitation. It’s Silly, I know but I want to thank him and this is a small way for me to show my gratitude. I should say, he doesn’t care whether or not he’s mentioned on the invite. It’s spmething I want.
What are your thoughts and feelings about this? Which sounds the best? Any suggestions?
I can’t wait to hear what you think.
Thanks in advance!
