Need your advice on wedding program set up with deceased/divorced parents.
Do you think its ok to list my parents names on the wedding program every though they are deceased. I added the cross symbol (I am also doing in memory of on the back).
Should I list them on separate lines (they were still married when they died) or togther?
Also, FH's parents are divorced so I'm listing them on separate lines.
Should I also list FH's stepmom on the program?
Parents of Bride…… Irene ******† Henry *****†
Parents of the Groom …Anthony******. Rita **********

I would do:
Parents of the Bride their names and then your cross symbol
and
Parents of the Groom Anthony..... Rita.....
I wouldn't put his stepmom on unless his stepmom and father have been married for a long time, and he is close to her (and if there is not any animosity between his mother and father). I wouldn't miss his mother and father on the same line though.

I am not listing my parents until the memorial on the last page. FH's parents are divorced also and I am listing his mom on one line and since his dad is his bestman, we are going to say Best Man John Doe, Father of the Groom or something like that. Hope this helps.

Parents of the Bride John & Mary Smith t
Parents of the Groom Sally Jones Bob & Nancy Jones
thats how i would do it....everyone there will know who is who, but its nice to include the stepmother....unless they are recently married, then it might not make sence to put her in...

Re: Need your advice on wedding program set up with deceased/divorced parents.
we're not listing our's either.
My parents are divorced then my dad got married and my stepmom passed away
his parents are divorced and his dad is remarried and his mom is not.
Too many people and awkware situations so we are not listing. Didn't do it on our invitations either
