Wedding program etiquette for divorced parents

Rachey, on May 16, 2014 at 12:55 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

Is it wrong to list my parents on the same line on the program even though they are divorced? FH's parents are still married so they are on the same line. Or should I list Dad on one line and Mom on line below it? It's throwing off my template lol. Thanks.

    I listed Zach's divorced parents on the same line. I did not include his step-parents.

    I think it should be fine, they are both still your parents. Smiley smile

    I would do: Mother of the Bride: ____ Father of the Bride: ______

    Parents of the Groom:

    or you could do Mother of the Bride:

    Father of the Bride:

    Parents of the Groom:

    As long as you do not list them as Mr. and Mrs. Last Name, it should be ok, but you can check with them first. Is their divorce amicable, or was it nasty?? Not expecting an answer here, but consider this when listing and seating them.

    Not nasty, they are fine. I'm listing them as John Smith and Karen Jones. Listing his parents as John and Karen Jones

    We haven't done programs yet but we did our invitations. FH's parents are divorced but his mom kept her married name. We did our invites like this:

    Mr. & Mrs. Bride's parents

    request the honor of your presence

    at the marriage of their daughter

    Bride

    to

    Groom

    son of Mr. John Doe and Ms. Jane Doe
