Deceased (bride's) parents on wedding invitation?

I didn't add my mom. We just said something like Sarah Blah and Brett Beep would like to....

How I am incorporating my mom is by...

Her favorite flower was yellow roses, so i will my bouquet and the grooms bout will be yellow roses. Also since I am getting married on mothers day, we will be passing out yellow roses to all the mothers.

and finally, i found a old picture of her on her wedding day and had it professional framed and will be using it at the ceremony in a seat and she will then be moved to the entrance in the venue.

Hope that helps

Hello Tillie and everyone here. Well I'm from Venezuela and here its customary to write both parents names in the invitation even if they passed away. What we do is put a litte cross next to the name.

Both my father and my fiance's father have passed away and we did that for our invitations. I think the desition depends more on the traditions of both your families and country you live in.

FWIW, my FH's father is deceased and it meant a lot to his mom to have him listed on the invitation still. So ours reads:

Dr. and Mrs. (parents' names)

request the pleasure of your company

at the marriage of their daughter

(my name)

to

(FH's name)

son of (FH's mom's name)

and the late (FH's dad's name)

Seems right in line with your idea, so I think you should keep what you have!

Tillie I like your idea for the wording. of the invite!

In certain instances I don't follow etiquette, I follow my heart and what I feel is right. not "etiquette" which Is a set of rules people feel they HAVE to follow.

etiquette = suggestions, what you 'should do' ...it doesn't equal a law, its not what you HAVE to do....

GOOD LUCK

Beautifully done. I've done invitations, programs and Save the Date, etc for years. I feel that it is proper to acknowledge all parents, living or dead.
