Family wedding pictures

[Deleted User]

We are in love with the idea of honoring our relatives by displaying their wedding photos at our reception, but FI's mom and dad are divored (and FMIL is remarried). Would it be awkward to display marriage pics of everyone still married, or should we plan not to do this at all out of respect for those who may be embarrassed? (Also, if we can do this, are there any suggestions for the display? We're having a sit down dinner so a buffet table display is out.)

I think it would be awkward to set up a display honoring the marriages of your parents when one set is divorced.  Instead, I would consider setting up individual pictures of relatives from when they were younger.  Little kid pics of relatives could be cute.

We did this. My grandmothers first husband (my grandfather) died when my dad was young and she has since remarried. But we cleared it with her before  and everyone loved it. Couple of recomendations. Let everyone know thats what you want to do and let them opt in or opt out. Also I wish I had put names and dates of marriage that would have helped with the questions. We set ours close to the cake table so people would see the pics as they came to look at the cake.  Great idea if you can get the pics rounded up but remember to start early. Not eveyone is on the same timeline and it takes awhile to find the pics.

I'd clear it with the parents.  I know I wouldn't want photos of my ex BF and me on display somewhere and we weren't even married.

Grandparents on display could be great.  I have a photo of my grandparents from the late 1930s or early 1940s in my living room 24/7.
