Step parents on the invitations??

Sarii1779

We are planning to write our invitations as follows:

Christine and Robbert MacPherson
are proud to anounce the union of their daughter
Sarah MacPherson
and
Grady Zettl
son of
Marie Onyette and John Zettl

both of my inlaws have remaried. My STIN (step father in law) Is really easy going and laid back and probably wouldnt care too much, but im not too sure about my SMIN. Grady said there is a chance she'll freak. He's not close to her at all and we wanted to keep it just blood parents... am i in the wrong? or should i just deal with it?

It sounds like an announcement more than an invitation.

I ditto PP with the "together with their parents" line. It includes everyone and shouldn't offend the in-laws.

Also, if these are really your names, you might want to change it on the post. There can be creepers on this board. As much as we want to trust everyone, it's just not good to put that info out there.

Both of H's parents are remarried. We wanted to include everyone on the invite so we did:

At the marriage of their daughter

Sorry that came over all weird, but you get the gist. It included everyone we wanted and still had plenty of room for the other info.

Step parents should not be on the invitation unless they helped to raise the bride or groom.  That's the official etiquette line.  But, it really depends on your family relationship.

My mom kept my dad's last name after the divorce and is not remarried and my dad is remarried to someone that I wouldn't consider to have raised me, so I'm trying to figure out if I should say 

Mr. and Mrs. C DXXXXX
and
Ms. M DXXXXX
Request the honour of your presence
At the marriage of their daughter

or
Mr. DXXXXX
and Ms. DXXXXX on a separate line?

We did the "together with their parents" makes it way less complicated.
