in Wedding Invitations & Paper
My dad past away 2 1/2 years ago and was a huge hit for me that he won't be there. and would like to honor him by including his name "daughter of late_____". My mom thinks it's nice but don't want my wedding to be too sad It was either this or a candle. I don't want too many memorials since the rev will also mention my dad.

    Are you asking for opinions?


    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    So sorry for your loss.  However, deceased parents do not belong on invitations.....they are not hosting the wedding.  I think it's smart of you to realize the sadness this could cause.  I think a candle is a nice sentiment......I would keep it at the candle and don't put photos or anything up around it.  You don't want it to become a memorial and create sadness during what should be a joyous occasion.

    My FI's father passed away several years ago.  We are paying for our wedding.  Our invitations read "Together with their families, Bride and Groom..." (I changed parents to families so as not to have it be a sad reminder for him.)  To honor his dad, as well as some other close family members who have passed away, we will be playing their favorite songs as the pre-ceremony music and will include a note in the program that the music was selected in honor of family members who are no longer with us.

    I like "together with their families" that seems really nice

    Remember, it is not an honor to be on an invitation!  Deceased persons do not appear on the invitation.  This would be a major faux pas!
