Former MDLS now Mrs. K
Master October 2010

I need your help. How do you address a deceased person on the invitation?

Former MDLS now Mrs. K, on February 21, 2010 at 8:09 PM Posted in Planning 0 9

We just buried my future FIL yesterday and just thought that I may need to change the wording on our invitations. Do I still put "son, of Mr. and Mrs. X" or do I do something different?

    Thank you so much for all your help and thank you for your condolences. It's really hitting my fiance hard and I'm trying to help him cope but it will take time. His dad was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer three weeks before he passed away. So quick and sad! Thanks again!

    My condolences. November was one year that my since my sister passed from pancreatic cancer. It is really hard because it hits fast and there's really nothing that can be done. *hugs* My thoughts are with you both.

    My condolences to you as well. My father just died last Thursday of pancreatic cancer. But my Uncle will be a great substitute for my dad in my wedding!!

    @carmen and @tbellamy-thank you so much and I'm so sorry to hear about your sister and father. Pancreatic cancer is such a horrible thing! By the time you feel the symptoms it most likely has already metastisized at that point. He didn't (as probably your loved ones did) start experiencing symptoms until late, Thanksgiving. At the end of January they attempted to do a Whipple procedure but when they opened him up they found the cancer had metastisized to his liver. I've signed up to start volunteer work with the local Pancreatic Cancer Action Network location here in Houston and would like (although I haven't spoken to my fiance about it) to have our wedding guests donate to a pancreatic foundation of some sort if they choose to do so. My heart goes out to both you and your families.

    My condolences to all of you ladies who have lost loved ones. I actually just found the invite from my brother's wedding the other day and it just had the last names of the parents. Like

    request the honor ...
