Question my son's fiance has a blended family. parents divorced, remarried and bothe
hosting the wedding. She is very close to parents and step parents. I gets more
complicated. her mother and step father are both practicing MDs. her step
mother uses her maiden na,me. how can they word the invitations?
Answer Hi Bettie:
Alot depends on whether or not they insist on having their names on the invitations. She could do something simple such as:
The honour of your presence is requested at the marriage of
Bride's First, Middle, Last Name
to
Mr. Groom's First, Middle, Last Name
on
Date
Time
Location
This would be the easiest thing to do. If however they are insisting that their names be stated on the invitation, well that gets a little tricky. Traditionally, the Bride's Mother does not use her doctor designation. So the invitation would read like this:
Dr.and Mrs. Bride's Stepfathers First, Last name and Mr. Bride's Father's First, Last Name and Ms. Bride's Stepmother's First, Last Name
request the honour of your presence......
If the mother wishes for her title to be used, it could be worded two ways. Either The Doctor's Last Name or Dr. Bride's Mothers First, Last Name and Dr. Bride's Stepfathers First, Last Name.
If the stepmother doesn't mind, she could be listed as Mrs. First, Maiden, Married Last Name.
I hope this helps. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me again.
