AboutGary & Teri Expertise My main specialties are invitations, catering, and banquet locations or in general, wedding receptions. Started as a family business over 75 years ago I now own and operate a catering & banquet facility for over 30 years and have catered small cookout events to large formal ones with everything in between. I even had an event that was attended by the President of the United States. I have been involved with over three thousand weddings and have been told that I have seen and done it all. I must reply almost, because something new always pops up.
Experience I have preformed almost every service needed at a reception from invitations, hosting and catering the event to photographing, dj and honeymoon plans with the latter being special circumstances. I have worked and hosted weddings up to 750 guest and other functions up to two thousand. With well over 30 years experiance of consulting with brides I have seen much of what works and does not.
I have also been involved with many business and orginizational functions and also have been listed in "Who's Who" business and executive edition.
Question My husbands' son is getting married, the invitations have already been printed up. The brides parents are paying the bill and have not asked for a dime. The invitation does not mention my husband at all on the invitation it does mention my husbands ex-wife and her new husband. It seems wrong to me. Please tell me what the invitation should say.
Answer Hi Jennifer, The wording is not correct. Where the grooms mother and new husband is listed it should contain the fathers name under theirs. example
Mr & Mrs Dan Walters (brides parents)
Sue and John Smith (mother groom) (mr & mrs are optional)
Mr Joseph Jones (father groom)
As mentioned mr & mrs are optional as the guest really know the mother by her name not necessarily her new married name depending on how long she has been married and who is invited.
