Announcement Wording My parents will be paying for the wedding and my fiancé's parents are divorced and remarried, how do we word the wedding invitation to include all three sets of parents? Thank you! Amy Dear Amy
As a general rule of etiquette, the parents paying for the wedding are the ones issuing the invitation. In your case,
because you have stated, it is your parents paying for the wedding, it is entirely correct not to include your fiancé's parents names. However, if you chose to add his parents names to the invitation, there are a couple different ways to do so.
The parents of Amy Jones and Groom's Name request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their children on the date of your wedding Nineteen Hundred and Ninety Eight at the time of your wedding Church
name Church address City and state address
Mr. and Mrs. Amy's Parents Name Mr. and Mrs. Groom's Mother and Step-Father's Name Mr. and Mrs. Groom's Father and Step-Mother's Name
Another example would be....
Mr. and Mrs. Amy Jones Parents Name request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Amy Your Middle Name to Mr. Groom's Full Name Son of Mrs. New Husband's Name (or) Son of Mr. and
Mrs. New Husband's Name and Mr. Groom's Father's Name (or) and Mr. and Mrs. Groom's Father's Name
