Wedding Programs - Divorced Parents

I guess you’ll have to judge based on how long they being together and how serious the relationship is. I would also probably consult it with fiancé or the parents itself to spare hurting their feelings and then go from there.

Wow. I’m not real sure of the wedding etiquette on this one. However, I’m not sure I would list their significant other unless they have been together for awhile. I think it would be odd if they were just dating these people for 2 months. If they’ve been together for awhile and they deserve to be added then I would list mom and significant other first. I’m sure you will figure it out.

Hey Erica! I can see why this question is causing you a bit of confusion!

I think it would be best to ask your SO what they would be most comfortable with. As the pp’s mentioned, if they have been together for a long time, you could include them in your program but if your SO would be more comfortable leaving them out of the program, then leave them out. You will be able to explain your decision of including or leaving out their significant others to your SO’s mom and dad so that they know if that would make you feel more comfortable.

My mom and dad are not together, nor are they married to anyone. I still listed them together on one line: John Smith and Jane Doe. For FH's parents that are married, I listed them on one line like: John and Jane Smith.

This is how mine will look:
Parents of the Bride
Mothers Name
Father & Stepmother
Stepfather (no longer with my mother but basically raised me)

Parents of the Groom
Mothers Name
Fathers Name

It takes up so much space but everyone is divorced except my dad and stepmom so I felt it was the most appropriate way.

View Quoted Comment I'm not really questioning the inclusion or exclusion of listing significant others, my fiancees parents got divorced right around the time he was finishing high school so he doesn't have much if any of a relationship with them. I'm just more so wondering if you list his parents on 2 separate lines or if you can still list it as mom s & dad s on one line. Thanks for your input though!

View Quoted Comment Oh I’m sorry I misunderstood what you were asking. I think I’ll list them on separate lines then.

I originally put...

Parents of the Bride:

Mother of the Groom:

Father of the Groom:

But my FH didn't like that. He was like "why are my parents on separate lines but yours are together?? I was like "uhhh....because your parents aren't together?" LOL. But he said he thought it looked weird and wanted everything to look more neat and even.

But I changed it so it says...

Mother of the Bride:

Father of the Bride:

Mother of the Groom:

Father of the Groom:
