Invitation wording

Together with their parents...

View Quoted Comment I totally would but his parents aren’t really helping. As petty as it sounds I want to give credit where it’s due 😅

View Quoted Comment Not sure how you would do that. The invite lists who hosts the wedding, not who contributed to planning.

View Quoted Comment Yeah that’s the problem, his family isn’t really hosting. They’re not too involved in much of anything.

View Quoted Comment In that case, just list you and your fiance, no parents.

View Quoted Comment Agreed, this is an all or nothing thing.

You could put “bride (daughter of mother & the late ___) & Groom (son of mother & father) invite you to join in their day...


This way you can still have your parents names but it’s not as if either is hosting

I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry that I don't have a better way to phrase most of my response:
Is your mom hosting? Were your parents married at the time your dad passed away? Are you paying for the wedding with money left to you by your dad?

Mrs. or Mrs. [Lexie's mom] and the late Mr. [Lexie's dad] request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter Lexie and [fiancé].
If you're hosting it without any help from living parents, you should probably use Caroline's suggestion. You can find other ways to honor your dad on the day of your wedding.

View Quoted Comment Hi! Thank you very much.
My parents were married at the time my dad passed. They were hosting before he passed. My mom obviously still is, but not with money that he left as it was sudden.
I love your suggestion- thank you so much!

View Quoted Comment Thanks for your input. I think it just makes it hard as my family is the one hosting. I wasn’t sure how to include my dad in it since he had done a lot while he was still here.

View Quoted Comment Thank you, Caroline!

View Quoted Comment Thanks for your input!

View Quoted Comment Great! Good luck with everything!
