Question

"My dad is remarried, mum not, hosting our wedding with fiance's mum. How do i word our invites?

Answer 1

We didnt have help from my mom... took begging to get ANYTHING from my dad and his wife.. fiance's parents offered money up front. We said: "The families of Bride & Groom invite you to ... "

Answer 2

Go with" Together with our parents..."

it covers everyone and avoids having to name people. You can list everyone by name in the wedding program.

Answer 3

sarah lyn jones and josh michael smith along with their parents would like to invite you to witness their union..... or something like this, the along with their parents part. it includes all of them but then you don't have to worry about what to call everyone and possible offending someone by calling them the wrong thing and with out using your whole invite to list the parents.

Answer 4

Here's my advice...Go with contemporary wording, and forget the old stale traditions...Here's what we used for ours, feel free to steal it, or look online (search for sample invitation wording) for lots of other non traditional ideas that are beautiful...

We have experienced love...  in our parents, families and friends

and now a new love in each other.

Together with our parents, we

Bride's name

and

Groom's name

invite you to share the beginning of our new life together as we exchange marriage vows,

Friday the 20th of June, 2008

at five o’clock in the afternoon

at.... church

n city, state

Reception following

If you are unable to attend,

we ask your presence in thought and in prayer.

Answer 5

Use traditional wording -

Lisa Marie,

daughter of Frank (Susan) Williams and Helen Williams,

and

Henry James,

son of Mark and Linda Green,

request the honour of your presence.

("Susan" would be the first name of your stepmom. If his dad is deceased, put  Linda Green and the late Mark Green)

Answer 6

which bit do you want to word? Do you mean the bit that would normally say

Mr & Mrs Peter Smoth would like to invite xxxxxx to celebrate the marriage of their daughter XXXX to xxxxxx

I would change this to

xxxxx(your name) and xxxxx(fiancee name) would like to invite you to join them in their union of marriage  or something similar and drop all the parents anmes

parents are sooo slefish!! I had thee problems when i got married and trying to organise the 'top table' whilst not wanting to place one parent more important than the other and also not wanting to have them argue, and one had a partner the other did not etc....complicated

Answer 7

Glad you're not here.

Answer 8

I would put the mum's names doing the inviting.

But I would ask your Mum what she thinks. She might think it is fine to put your father's name. So just ask. Hey, mum, I want to put your and MIL name on the invites only, and not Dad's. Is that ok with you? Or do you want dad's name on there?

So it would be something to the effect of Mrs. Mary Smith and Mrs. Joan Jones join in inviting you to the wedding of...
