Repost from BHB- this may help someone...
I feel like I've seen a few posts about what to do with step parents - particularly in regards to invitation wording. There is some advice for this and other similiar situations on pg. 116 of the May/June issue of Brides. I quote, in regards to Invitation wording...
'It's become common to list both your parents and his on the invitation-regardless of who's paying-but divorce and remarriange can make it sound more like a phone book than an invite ... Simpler wording may be better: 'Together with their families, Joanna White and Robert Black request the honor of your presence...' Or suggest listing one parent and his or her partner on the ceremony invite and the other parent and partner on the reception card.'
They have other advice regarding money, during the ceremony, & at the reception.
