Announcing parents?

I hadn't even thought of this... Hmmm.

We announced my parents as a couple (they're still together). and H's parents separately (they're divorced). We didn't announce their significant others. If I were you I'd just leave it as introducing the parents and leaving out the significant others.

No, we aren't announcing our parents.... just us!

We announced both parents, but our situation was a lot simpler. My H's parents are both still married to each other and my mom died when I was young, but my dad's been remarried since I was 12, so it was just him and my step mom, who I have a close relationship with. If I was in your situation, I would probably skip it. I like your idea of all the parents at once. That way you could still do it and make everyone feel included. I don't know if I would have announced my dad alone if he wasn't remarried when I was announcing H's parents as a couple. Once of my uncles passed away 10 years ago and when one of my cousin's got married, they still introduced their mom, but they had her escorted by their dad's brother. You could do something like that with H's dad if you wanted to do it separately. Good luck!

Don't feel obligated to announce them.

I hadn't thought about this either. Out parents re-married so we have 4 sets between us. We are closer to some of our step parents than we are to others but t would seem rude to announce two step parents and not the others. I think we might want to do two groupings: "the bride's parents" and "The grooms parents" buuut FH's parents don't exactly get along... We might have to announce each couple

My mom doesn't want this so it will just be the bridal party.

I've never seen this done. *shurgs* this wouldn't have even been something I would have thought. I would have been like nope, and moved on.
