How to include divorced parents’ names in your wedding invite
I don’t know about you and your sweetheart, but the most difficult thing about the wedding invitation for most couples is the wording! In this modern age, it’s tough to tell just what to say on these traditional pieces of paper.
Usually the biggest headache begins when it comes to including your parents’ names in the wording. If you have divorced parents, you might be freaking out right about now. Do not fret! There are so many ways to accommodate modern celebrations and situations for your wedding invitation, here are just a few:
This version of our Cathryn invitation design features a bride with two sets of parents. Her biological mother and father divorced, but she included everyone (even stepmother and stepfather) in the invite.
This version of the Family Crest invite is kind of like the Cathryn one above, but the bride’s two sets of parents are listed on one line. A great way to keep everyone happy.
This version of the Emily design has three sets of parents listed. It’s tough to tell who which set of parents belong to who, as they are all listed at once at the very top, and no last names are provided for bride and groom. This is another great way to seriously avoid hurting anyone’s feelings.
Perhaps your parents are divorced and never remarried. This version of our Rachel wedding invitation design is perfect for that. In this case, Jack’s parents are divorced, but announced on the same line together: “Ms. Julie Warrington and Dr. Robert Pattaluchi.” If they were still together, it would most likely read: “Dr. and Mrs. Robert Pattaluchi.”
