in Wedding Invitations & Paper
Formal wedding - reception at the same place as ceremony, immediately following. The parts I am especially concerned with:
  • I read if we use one middle name, use them all. I want mine on there. FI does not have one. Do I have to put my dad's in the first line?
  • Half after five o'clock - no evening needed, right? Since no one is going to show up at 5 AM?
  • Do I need the street address of the venue?

    If your FI doesn't have a middle name you just won't include it. Sure someone might think you're being inconsistent but you're not doing anything wrong. I would include your dads middle name. No, you do not need "evening". Its more formal to not include the street address. Put it on your website or info insert if having.

    FI just said he wants his parents' names on there, too, if mine are. So we would put them after him (son of...)

    But his parents are divorced so how do I write them? Do I use "and" even though they are not married?

    Traditionally and most formally his parents are not listed unless they're the ones hosting in which case the whole thing word look different. Yes, I think the wording for son of... looks fine. Make sure you know is she goes by Ms or Mrs. I have known divorced women who prefer Mrs.

    southernbelle0915, thanks! I am going to show him... I think it looks too busy & full with his parents' names on there, plus I would prefer to stick to formality. I don't think this is something he really feels strongly about (like he does with what our first dance song should be LOL)

    A way to include both parents is just to use "together with their parents" at the top

    I know when you address invitations you aren't supposed to connect unmarried people with "and". I'm not sure if that's the same on the actual invitation, but if it is then you need his parents names on 2 separate lines which is going to make it look even busier.

    tammym1001, that is exactly what I was thinking with the "and" (since I just finished finalizing the invitation addresses.

    His family is getting Spanish invitations so we are actually just changing the wording to typical Spanish wording on theirs and keeping just my parents' names on the English ones. I really hated the busy look.
