Wedding Invitations & Paper

Invitation wording help!

How do I word our invitations when my parents are divorced and remarried and my FI's parents are both deceased? Any thoughts would be helpful!

  • Not on the hosting line, of course! 

    At the stationery shop I worked in, people frequently wanted to mention their deceased parents, and this is what we suggested. If they're listed in a way that does not imply they are doing the inviting, it works fine in my opinion. 

    I'll admit a program is the more appropriate place for it, but I don't see a problem in having "Son of the late.." on the invitation. Really, this only works for the groom's parents - it's a lot harder to figure out where to list the bride's parents without making it seem as though they are hosting.
  • It's not something everyone would want to do, surely, and not something that I'm necessarily suggesting. I just wanted the OP to know that it was an option that many people have used.
