Wedding Program Dilemma

bonoko6

Yesterday I approved and ordered our wedding programs. I thought my mother and mother-in-lawwould like to have a sneak peek. Good thing the programs had not been printed yet! First off, I spelled the flower girl's name wrong. Shout out to my fiance` for not catching that one. Goodness! Secondly, the MIL suggested I add my fiance's grandfather that cannot make the trip due to the fact he is in a nursing home. She also mentioned adding the late grandparents. I am open to these ideas completely add would love to mention all the loved ones. I am just not sure how to go about doing it. Help?! How do I include MIA and late grandparents?? What is the proper etiquette?

At the bottom of our program, I put "In Loving Memory" and put the name of my H's deceased grandfather and my deceased grandmother.  It is a nice idea to put your FI's grandfather in even if he can't attend.  My grandfather couldn't attend because he can't travel, and I still put him in the program.  It is a nice gesture, and maybe he would like a copy of his own even if he can't come to the wedding.

I would list grandparents, and include his name, and then maybe make an In Memory section, as PP suggested.

This reminds me, I have my own question on this subject.

Just in case it isn't clear -- only put "In Memory" for people who are deceased.  

If you want to give shout outs to people who couldn't come, then you can list them by name...but you run the risk of leaving someone off.  You can always say, "We appreciate the love and support of those who could not be here today."  then name people if you want, or just leave it at that.
