RP from the 06 board How do I address these invites???

Okay.. im going to try to make a long story short.

Both my FH & I are paying for our ENTIRE wedding.

FH's parents insist on having their names on the invitations (due to old school family tradition & the 'respect' factor. Honesly, I dont mind having their names on my invites at all, however being in the situation i am in, the wording of the invites get tricky at this point:

now..

My parents are sperated. (And have been for 6 years) My father is still bitter about it, so not only have I not spoken to him for years, He will not be attending my wedding. (Yeah I know, horrible, isn't it?? ) But whatever... thats a whole story in itself... Anyway, I'm adding my mothers name on the invite, but was thinking of adding his name anyway, to indicate who I am 'the daughter of'

I was going to indicate it just like this:

ex: Janie BlaBla, daughter of

Mr. Ireally Hatetheworld
& Mrs. Xwifeof Ihatetheworld

They arent divorced, however, since they still technically have the same last name, I figured that I would put them on seperate lines.

My question is this: Should I keep his name on my invites since I am only indicating who I am the daughter of , or
should I just not put his name on it at all, say fugg him and keep it off-afterall, He is not coming to my wedding.

If this is not confusing, i dont know what is...


Thanks for your help with this...

My father and I no longer talk to each after my parents nasty divorce 5 years ago. So needless to say he is not invited to my wedding. Yes, long story also there on my side. So, I will spare everyone.

My FH and I are also paying for our wedding. We are skipping the parents things on the invite. We are just putting both our names inviting people to our wedding.

I would not put his name on the invite, he doesn't deserve that honor

Do what feels right in your heart. If there is no snowballs chance in H-E-double hocket stix that your Dad will come, then I wouldnt bother. Especially if your mom has been the one to stand by you all of these years, you might in some small way offend her as he has had nothing to do with you.

So sorry for your situation though. That's very sad for you and your father.
