Deceased (bride's) parents on wedding invitation?

The invitation is not the appropriate place. I agree with the wedding program or another place to honor their memory.

How about "...at the marriage of Tillie daughter of the late (parents) to Mr. Tillie son of (parents)

Thank you for your suggestions. So far, this is what I have (my FH and I are hosting):

The pleasure of your company is requested

at the marriage of

Me

daughter of the late G and D (last name)

and

FH

son of Mr. and Mrs. R (last name)

Sunday, ...

two thousand fifteen

at half after five o'clock

Venue name

address

city, state

RSVP (bottom left corner) Black Tie Optional (bottom right corner).

I think this would work just fine, but again, I am conflicted by what I'm reading. It seems ok to list a living parent with a deceased parent, so I don't understand why I can't list both if my FH and I are hosting?

I don't see the problem with listing deceased parents, especially worded the way you did.

I like the way you worded it

I think wording the invite the way you did is perfectly fine for an invite.

I like how you worded it. Although the invitation isn't a place to HONOR deceased family, it is perfectly fine to include their names as long as it doesn't appear to be sent by them. I would if I were you!

FH's dad is deceased. On our invitations I used the "together with their families" wording. We aren't doing programs but I did do a big sign that has the names of the bridal party, etc and I did bride's parent's and grooms parents, I listed his dad there.

Sounds like what you wrote is perfect!

To each his/her own. My parents are also deceased, and so is my husband's mom, so we just put our names.

I think you should do what makes you happy.

Put your parents on the invitation! The way you have it is just fine. If it is important to you to have them on there, then I don't see anything wrong with it. It's not hurting anyone and I think your guests will see it as a nice tribute.

My parents and FH dad is dead, and we are not putting their names on invites. The way it's worded on the example above is cool, I like it.

I am having a similar issue as well, my mom passed away and my father is not in the picture. FH and I at first figure we were just gonna put our names on it. We didn't have the finance talk with his parents until 8 months after being engaged so... We assumed we were paying for the wedding. They recently told us they were gifting us $$$ for the wedding and when the talk of invitation came up and I told her the idea that we had she said it was rude and we could not do that due to the fact that people will think that his parents are not hosting the wedding. So we are unsure as to how the invitation should be with my mom being deceased and his parents wanting to be on the invitation.

Jenni, would you be comfortable including his family on the invitation and then honouring your mom another way? Or would they compromise on "Together with their families"?

I would that's fine I just don't know how to word it. Is it weird that only his parents are on the invitation? How else could you introduce the bride?

I like your wording. I would want to include my parents too if it were me.

Do you have to name the parents? I know it's the more formal way to do it, but I wasn't planning on it. My paren't aren't paying for it and my FH's mother passed away. I wasn't going to mention parents in the invites, but maybe do a few pictures of loved ones we've lost.

All of our parents are alive and we're still just listing "together with their families" (not even "together with their parents"). Granted, we've had some drama with my parents. We're also paying. Parents will be listed in the program, but no one will think twice if you and FH only use your names.

I like the way you worded it. I'd also include something elsewhere at the wedding, perhaps a candle in their memory?
