Invitation Etiquette--groom's mom remarried

Why can it be 'grooms name' son of 'FH dad first /last and mom first maiden/current last' If the step father raised FH you could consider putting his name on but if it's her new husband that came along late in FH life there is no reason to put his name on. If FH dad 8th absent just put mom's info. But if bio dad family is coming I would consider including his name.

Are your fh's parents paying for the wedding?? If not then they shouldn't be on there at all! Otherwise I agree with Mandi.

FH did not want his parents names on them because his mom has passed away where as I wanted my parents names so we put my parents but not his. So you could always not add them. Does FH want his parents names on it?

"Together with their families" solves every problem...

Who is hosting? If your parents are paying, his parents' names shouldn't be on there at all. I agree with @mandigirl that if this is a new stepfather than his name should not be on the invitation at all. He is not your FH's father so its not appropriate. It should be bio dad's name and mom's name, no mention of stepfather and if bio dad is not in his life, than just mom's name. If everyone is contributing in some way, "Together with their families" is the way to go.

Ours did not mention family or parents at all. We are in our 40s and paid the entire bill, (well except the very generous birthday day surprise from my now late father). Ours read "a Friendship shared by two has now grown into a love so true......" something like that.

I sgree with @Angie. If his folks aren't paying, then they aren't the hosts and shouldn't be listed on the invite. If, however, you want to include them in some way, "together with their families" sorts out everything nicely, keeps it simple, and makes everyone feel included.

Typically since it is the Bride's parents that pay for the wedding you do not need to include his parents' names on anything. Our invitations show "my father and mother's names invite you to the marriage of their daughter * my first and middle and *fiance"

I know things original comment was posted a while ago but hopefully someone can help my situation which is almost exactly the same... except I am the grooms mother, which why is there nothing out there for mother of the groom....she's just as important especially if she's mom &a dad!!! Anyway my son is getting married and his fiancé and I are trying to figure out the wording. I am not married technically to my husband but we've been engaged for 10 years so we just say we are and my son calls him his stepdad and we are paying for half My last name is back to my maiden name and my son also has that name none of his biological father family will be there......long horrific story but if we put my "husbands last name no one will no who that is but we want to someway have him on the invite!!!!!

What to do?!?!?!
