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 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..
