Hi everyone, really hope you lovely intelligent folks can help me figure out how to word my invitations.
My mother and stepfather are paying for the majority of our wedding expenses. My father is deceased and my mother shares her last name with my stepfather.
It's my understanding that one does not mention deceased parents on a wedding invitation. My father and fiance's parents are all deceased....but I'm worried some of my father's relatives may take exception to dad's name being absent from the invitation. My dad's brother, my uncle is giving me away along with my mom.
Another wrinkle is that *I* don't really think I should be listed as "their" daughter, as in:
Mrs. Mothersname and Mr. Stepfathersfirstname Lastname request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter blah blah blah...
Should I just leave out "of their daughter" and go with: Mother/stpefather request pleasure of your company at the marriage of [me] to [fiance]
What say ye?
