My father and mother, who are still married, are hosting our wedding so their name will appear on the invitation. My mother's name is hyphenated and wants to use her hyphenated name on the invitation. From what I have read, the appropriate way to word the invitation is:
"Ms. Jane Jones-Smith and Mr. John Smith request the honor of your presence"
However, I think it is odd to list the woman first and to use the prefix "Ms." instead of "Mrs."
Thoughts? What would you think if you got an invitation that read "Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Jane Jones-Smith request the honor of your presence"?
