I was planning on putting our Grandparents wedding pictures on display at our reception. I was not going to do our parents wedding pictures because FH parents are divorced. I thought that that might be strange.
His mom found out about the plan and she asked me why we aren't doing the parents wedding pictures (i would love to put my parents up, but because of his situation, i didn't think it would be right).
What do I do?!?!?! I have no idea because I don't know how sensitive the situation is.
Would it be weird to put up his parents wedding picture when they are divorced? Or do you think it is okay?
Thanks so much!!!

Re: Need advice! Grandparent/Parent wedding pics
We are actually doing this! We will have wedding/other nice pics of our grandparents displayed, but it is in memory of them, becaused they arent with us anymore. We arent doing pics of our parents, because they are a: still alive b: mine are divorced, so its double weird!
HTH!

Crashing -
I did this. I had all four sets of grandparents and just DH's parents. I didn't put my parent's wedding pic because they are divorced.

My parents are divorced and I don't speak with my dad at all. FFIL passed away. I will probably put up FH;s parents wedding pic up but will NOT put up my parents

Re: Need advice! Grandparent/Parent wedding pics
uh oh. . . now i feel bad that i was ever going to exclude my parents. they would totally understand, but they have just done so much, and continue to do so much for my FH and I. So now i think i'm going to put my parents picture up. but im still not sure about FH parents.

i wanted to do something like that but i know my parents (who are divorced) would not be happy if their wedding picture was out there. and i also know they would feel hurt if they were excluded so my life was made easy...im not doing it at all!

Re: Need advice! Grandparent/Parent wedding pics
I honestly don't see anything wrong with only including one set of parents.
I personally wouldn't put a picture of his divorced parents up...but there's no reason not to put out a photo of your parents

Why don't you put up pics of FH's parents separately - do you have other pics you can put up non wedding related?

it seems strange to just put random pictures of his parents.
We wanted to do wedding pictures, because it seems fitting and i thought it would be nice.
i feel like it would be awkward just to put framed pics up.

I'm in the same situation - FH's are separated - FOR 30 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! - no Wedding pic there - they may have been all burned by FMIL

i don't have this issue, but i have to say, i think some pics of the bride or groom with his parents (separately, if they're divorced) would be a nice touch. if it's a wedding theme, then i totally agree about not including their wedding pic, but if it's to acknowledge how important they are in your lives and you want them to be recognized/acknowledged, then i wouldn't even think twice about it - i'd proudly display their pics!

i dont think it would be weird, especially if FMIL is OK with it. i'd talk to her about it.

Re: Need advice! Grandparent/Parent wedding pics
I'm in a similar situation and I think I'm just not putting any pics up. FH's parents are divorced and remarried. My parents separated and my dad died when I was little, and my mom is remarried but on the rocks with my step-dad. Even my Nana was divorced. Not a lot of happy memories there.

I hadn't really thought of it - but I would definitely do pics of our grandparents weddings....
