Hi, I have a two part question. My FH's parents are deceased and my parents are divorced. We want to place both set of parents on our invitations and wonder 1. How to word it? 2. Is it appropriate to include deceased parents on the invitations?

My 2nd question is how can I make my FH's parents presence felt at the wedding ceremony? Maybe pictures by the guest book? I don't know. Both his parents died from cancer and we know they would be so happy for us that we are becoming one. I was thinking of getting a8x10 picture of both, place in nice frame, place the picture on the chairs in the front row as if they were there. Any suggestions regarding this?

    My officiant mentioned my mom in the beginning of the ceremony. That's the extent I could handle that day. I start crying when I see pics of her so we couldn't do the table idea or anything with pics. I think it's a bit grim to leave a seat open so that wasn't for us either.
