Reporst - Wording on Invitations

Question - When you put your parents names, how do you do it?

Mrs. Barbara and Mr. Glenn Smith?

Or Barbara and Glenn Smith?

I'm confused! TIA

I agree... Mr. and Mrs. X sounds better.....

Thanks. Would you say Mr. and Mrs. Bob Smith? OR Mr. and Mrs. Smith?

Re: Reporst - Wording on Invitations

Mr. and Mrs. Bob Smith is the correct way.

My parents are listed differently. Their divorced and my mother said I better not make her Mrs. anybody on that invitation.

Got it. Now how about his parents? His father passed away but I'd like his name on the invitation.

Re: Reporst - Wording on Invitations

son of...
Mrs. X and the late Mr. X

Check with FH to make sure he wants to do that. My FH lost his Mom at a young age and I suggested this and he did not want to do it. So check with him to see what his thoughts are. I think it is a great idea.

He definitely wants his father's name on it, it is just a matter of do I write Mrs P Smith and the late R Smith or Ms. P Smith and the late R Smith? She has a boyfriend now.
