Divorced Parents

I am having such a problem, and I'm hoping that you girls can help me
My parents are divorced and are paying for a lot...
What should the 'proper' etiquette be in wording the invites?? Obviously not, Mr. and Mrs....
HELP PLEASE! Thanks

Maybe you could list their full names each on separate lines?

That's what the etiquette books would say

Re: Divorced Parents

my parents are divorced also and both are remarried. I am not putting their names on the invite due to fact that it is too much wording. Both my sisters' did the same, my dad had something to say about it, its up to you and your FH to decide on how you want the invites to sound. I HTH.

hang in there, I am going thru alot with my dad causing the drama.

Re: Divorced Parents

My parents are divorced but everyone is helping. My dad is helping with the hall and my mom helped pay for the dress. I felt I should put them both on with FIL's names. Yes, it was a lot of names but it did not look bad, eveyone knows my parents are divorced, and it made them all happy to be on the invite
I bought a book of ettiquet for divorced families with weddings. FM me if you need anything.

I would put:

jane Smith, daughter of Joe Smith and Mary Smith

or if they are both or 1 remarried I would put:

Joe Smith and his wife Marie Smith
and Mary Smith and her husband
