September bride-

Consider

Mr. Dad and Mrs. Mom Last Name -

Less Clunky.

I really know a lot about this because I had a hard time as both me and FH come from divorced families.

Both of our parents have differnet last names so ours went
Mr. & Mrs. John Smith
and Mr & Mrs William Mann
Request the honor of your presence at the wedding of their children
Alisha Mary Dorr
and
David Henry Alexander
on.....

You can also put his parent name under his name...
David Henry Alexander
son of Mr. & Mrs. WIlliam Mann

You do this so his family or your family friends who might not know you that well will know who you are related to.

However, if you have the same last name as your parents as does he then you put:

Mr. & Mrs John Smith
and Mr. & Mrs. William Mann (optional)
request the honor of your presence at the wedding of their children
Alisha Mary
to
David Henry.

Hope this helps....

Didn't think of that! Thanks!

One question - can that potentially imply that parents are divorced but mom still keeps the last name? Or would that scenario read Mr. Dad Last Name and Mrs. Mom Last Name?
