It's just that, my parents!! My parents divorced when I was in elementary school, my dad remarried and is currently married to my step-mom and has been since I was little. My mom remarried as well, but later divorced, and has been single ever since. My FI parents are still married.
Needless to say, when it came down to tradition, it was just all too confusing as the Ms. my moms name, Mr. and Mrs. dads name and so forth in addition, I quite frankly am hesitant to think everything will fit. Thus, I was going to do the " Together with their families " wording, but then when I showed my mom a layout of the programs that listed Parents of the Bride Ms. her name then under her was Mr. and Mrs. my dads name, she went off the deep end. Asking can't I forget my step moms name completely.
The problem with leaving my step mom off the formal invitation is I would more than likely not only get questioned by my dad, but by her, and everybody else, my dad and step mom have always helped me out, plus they have given FI and I money for our wedding, but so has my mom, she has paid for my wedding dress. I want them both to be happy, and looking back at it now, granted we are not doing invitations on a website like wedding paper divas where we have to type in everything, instead we are doing Etsy, so we just have to give the person my parents names, his parents names, and so forth and she/he does all of the other little fine tuning work of a ( , ) and a ( & ) so forth, but its still the fact my mom has asked me just to use her and my dad.
What should I do?
