What do I do on the invitation when the parents are divorced but the mom still has the same last name as the dad?

    Ms. Susan .E. Jones

    Mr. Thomas T. Jones

    request the honour of your presence


    etc.

    I've seen it used several times and it's correct etiquette wise

    Why would her keeping her married name effect anything? I'm just curious.

    I like either snippylynn or OOT's wording.

    Their names go on separate lines. Putting them on the same line with "and" in between would indicate that they are married.

    This.   Separate lines, without "and".  Doesn't matter if the woman kept her married name or not.  Oh - and the woman's name goes  before the man's.
