Child of divorced and remarried parents both hosting the wedding:

Answer 3

Your invites should say " invited to the wedding of Susan Smith, daughter of Jane Brown and Fred Smith" or "Jane Smith and Fred Smith"...people know your folks are divorced. List your mom first. If she hasn't remarried, just by using a last name for both parents instead of "daughter of Jane and Fred Smith", it makes it very clear that they are two SEPARATE individuals.

Answer 4

For example -

Lisa Marie,

daughter of

Frank Smith and Lois Williams,

and

Mark Henry,

son of

Christopher Green and Mary Green

If a parent has remarried, put the new spouse's first name in brackets. Like if the bride's dad had remarried, it would read "Frank (Susan) Smith and Lois Williams.

If the bride's mom remarried -

Frank Smith and Lois (Peter) Williams.

If parents are divorced and not remarried, and wife kept same surname, list separately, as in the above "Christopher Green and Mary Green"

Avoid the whole issue, by using the phrase "together with their parents."  Just another option to consider.

Answer 6

Both sets of parents are divorced with us.

We did not include our step parents ..but neither step parent raised us (well jason's did but he didn't want to use his stepdad)

It was Mr.Chesney's Dad and Mrs.Chesney's Mom

and

Mr. Jason's Dad and Mrs.Jason's Mom

ladies had different last names.

Answer 7

traditionally you ask the father for his daughters hand in marrage, so the father will be listed first on your invitations.

then the mother. hope this helped.
