need INVITE WORDING FASTER THAN ASAP!!!!!!

My friend has been with her fi for quite some time. Unfortunately, her mother passed away a 3 weeks ago and has since decided that she does not want to put off the wedding one bit longer. She is getting married Dec 4, now! The Knot 'etiquette' says you aren't supposed to include a deceased parent, which I think is ridiculous. Did any of you include a deceased parent, and if so, how did you word it? Need wording ASAP!!

Classically no, but we just had a post on this on 05 and came up with some nice options -- I find for you.

Agreed, this is the best way. It seems real odd IMO to be invited to an affair by a 'late' person.
