Help! Invitation wording with divorced but remarried parents!

My fiancé and I are the same way.. Instead of naming everyone we are saying with their parents. Because my mom and dad are remarried and his mom is remarried too and it's a lot to put on an invite

In case a picture might just be more helpful than going to the website

It does seem wordy, but I don't see a problem with it. We did, "Together with Their Families My Name and His Name Invite you to celebrate their wedding". We paid for most of the wedding ourselves, so it kind of worked out.

I cant see the picture but I like the invitation that say Together with their parents...

Both of our parents are divorced and 3 of the 4 are remarried. Our invitations say:

Together with their families My Name and His Name request your presence at the celebration of their marriage.

I listed all four of my parents. He listed only his mother. It was wordy, but it worked out.

I was in the same situation. We did exactly what Amanda did. our invitations came out nice. I think it is too much wording if you have every name listed. Its your decision! Do what you like the best and works for you.

Both of our parents are divorced. We are paying for it ourselves, so we did not list any parents

My mother insisted on being named. Go figure. *rolls eyes*.. and FH's parents are both dead so we fumbled with the wording forEVER. FInally we decided on:

My Name

Daughter of Mothers Name & Step Fathers Name and Fathers Name and StepMothers Name

HIS Name

Son of the late Mothers Name and Fathers Name

If it were up to me I would have had it say "Together with our families".

We are paying for most of it, but my mom bought my dress and his parents are paying for the rehearsal dinner so we put "together with our families" too.

Both of our parents are divorces and remarried. my step-parents are second parents to me. We are adding "together with our families" too!

We're using "together with their families"

I don't feel the need to write everyone out... everyone knows who our parents are & I don't feel the need to include them on the invite.

FH's parents are divorced. Only his father remarried. FMIL is not officially married but has been living with her boyfriend for more than 10 years. FH is very close with his step-parents so here is how we worded it-

Mr. & Mrs. Bride's Parents

Request the pleasure of your company at the wedding of their daughter

Bride Name

to

Groom Name

Son of Mr. & Mrs. Groom's Dad and Step-mom

Ms. Groom's Mom & Mr. Groom's Step-father

Very wordy, but we wanted to include names.

I also have this problem. I really wish it could be "together with their families" but his mom wants to be on the invite. I'm thinking since my dad and step mom probably won't contribute to the wedding cost, maybe I should just list our moms as "hosts". (We are paying for at least half the wedding ourselves and our moms are helping with the rest) My mom is remarried but I am not close with my step dad and they do keep their finances somewhat separate. So it may just be the moms. I hate to make my dad feel bad so I need to ask my step mom what she thinks before all is said and done, she'll be able to make the call on that one. So annoying.

We did together with their families as well. It was too wordy the other way and the parents actually preferred it that way.

Thanks everyone! Ended up doing something simliar to @sarah! Just found out this week also that my stepmom and dad are getting a divorce...meh.....decided to just go along with how it was worded as if they were married because they parented me while together.....perfect.timing.

Is anyone else concerned about having divorced parents at the wedding together? My parents have been married for 53 years by my wedding so they aren't the issue. It's FH's. They haven't even been in the same state for many years. They do NOT get along. There is some serious bad blood there. Any idea how to handle this situation?

@disneynut I'm sorry to hear that! Luckily my mom and dad are able to put aside differences when it comes to me. But if I were in that situation I would have a brother or best man walk his mom down and maybe have them sit in different rows or seperated in the same row....or have a mature talk about setting aside their differences for one day for the son they have together. Hope something works out and there will be peace and love surrounding your day!
