My father is deceased, is it ok to still include him as
 Mr. John Smith & Mrs. John Smith.  I really don't want to put the late John Smith.  It makes me sad. Please help.

    First, I am very sorry for your loss.

    As for your question, I'm assuming you mean on the invitation?

    Unfortunately, only hosts should be listed on the invitation, so it would be inappropriate to list your father as he is not able to host. A memorial section in your program and/or some sort of picture, candle, etc. would be more appropriate.

    Kelly is right. It would be a bit confusing for people to receive an invitation that lists someone who has passed away as the host. 

    A memorial in the program would be absolutely lovely, and if you're worried about names on the invitation, just leave parents off of it - "Together with their families" is popular, or you could even say 

    Your presence is requested
    at the marriage of
    Bride Full Name
    and
    Groom Full Name
    and skip hosts entirely.

    Hope that helps, good luck!
