How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

FH parents are divocred and his mother really wants her name vs 'Together with' on the invitation. It's ultimately my choice but looking for ideas.




btw- my parents are married

And do divorced women use MRS or MS

Thanks as always

Article for Invitation Wording

I found this under community on here. It mentions how to word such an invitation

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

I've been struggling with this since I got engaged and I'm far from ordering invites! My parents are the ones divorced and it was a recent divorce that left them not speaking at all. To make things even better they are 'cohosting'.

I have found this helpful Divorced Parents however I've seen in more than one place the method suggested here Divorced Parents .

So I guess I will let my parents decide between

Mrs. Jane Doe
Mr. Joe Doe
Invite you...

~and~

Mr. Joe Doe and Mrs. Jane Doe
Invite you...


My luck they will both want it a different way!!!!!!!!

Good luck

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

i had too much of a hard time with this one!! so we just put -
Our names
together with their parents...
that way no one felt left out.

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

we did

Ms. Mary Smith
Mr. John Smith
and
Mr. and Mrs. Jones
request the honor.....

Mine are divorced, FH's are together.

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

Mine is worse. Both of our parents are divorced and our mothers
have kept their married names!! AND my FH's dad remarried! So it is
way too much people to but on an invite...we are just putting my parents

Mr. John Smith
and
Ms. Jane Smith

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

I was wondering the same thing... his parents are together, my mom and dad are divorced but are both in serious relationships with other people. My mom and her bf are helping us a little ( paid for my dress) and my dad and his gf I dont even really talk ( needless to say they arent chipping in a penny)
how the heck do I get around that one?? I dont think its fair to say with our parents when my dad isnt helping at all

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

My parents are divorced and are on good terms. My FH are divorced.

When we looked at Ms. xxx xxxx
and Mr. xxx xxx
invite you to the marrriage of thier daughter
Mary Louise
to
Thomas

son of Mr. and Mrs. xxxx

it didn't look right so we did

Margaret and Steven XXXXX
invite you to the marriage of thier daughter
Mary Louise
to
Thomas

son of Rosalie and Thomas XXXX

dropping off the Mr and Mrs made it easier

OR you can do
Together with our parents we invite you ..........

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

i'm with you all but both of my parents are remarried, so it may be like this:
mr and mrs mom and husband
mr and mrs dad and wife
and
mr and mrs fh parents
invite you to celebrate the marriage, etc etc

or we might just do

together with their parents,
bride
and
groom
etc etc...

Both of mine are in serious relationships but since their not married I didn't put the significant other on the invite. The SO's will walk in with them, etc and I thought that was enough.

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

HI Donna!
I dont want to put their b/f and g/f into the invitation.. but since my mom is helping, and his mom is helping ( buying our favors) and my dad isnt.. I dont know what to write.. plus my dad gets offended at everything and if I dont put his name or 'with my parents' he probably wont even come

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

Same problem here. We're doing:

Ms. Patricia A. XXX (my mom),
Ms. Sherry XXX (his mom),
&
Mr. David XXX (his dad)
invite you ...

We want them all because they're all contributing. Although my mom can't contribute as much as his mom or dad, I think the bride's mom/parents should go first IMO.

Divorced women should be Ms., not Mrs. Mrs. is for married and widowed.

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

Thanks everyone - I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with this...

I'm still seeing conflicting things about the Mrs & Ms - most places including the LIW article on invites says MRS-which i disagree with but..

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

We had the same problem, both of our parents are divorced, my dad is remarried and my mom is in a serious relationship. My FH parents would want to be named separatly, even though they are not in relationships and almost everyone is chipping in.
I talked to them and said I would love to put everyones names on it, but its 6 people not including the Bride and Groom. They all agreed it was a little much, so we are putting
Together with the parents

Re: How would you word divorced parents on your invite-

I would do together with their parents...Mine are divorced, my mom is contributing quite a bit, my dad hardly any and his parents NOT A PENNY...we are just putting it from us to avoid the whole issue...My mother went back to her maiden name and definitely does NOT use Mrs. anymore, so I wouldn't assume that anyone does..
