Avoid Wedding Drama: Special Situations and Invitation Wording
Planning a wedding can be challenging, especially when it comes to family dynamics. How do you include everyone in such a way that honors each person's role and importance?
While it may not be possible to represent every relationship on a wedding invitation, you can thoughtfully handle the inclusion of stepparents and deceased parents. Here are some tips to consider:
Adding Stepparents
Many couples feel that stepparents are just as important as biological parents and wish to include them in the invitation. Traditionally, invitations might read, "Mr. and Mrs. So-and-So would like to announce the marriage of their daughter, Jane, to John, son of Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
To include stepparents, you can adjust this to: "son of Mrs. Smith and her husband Bill, and Mr. Brown and his wife, Linda." While this can seem a bit complex, it is possible to do it seamlessly. Alternatively, you may choose to list only the biological parents with their current last names.
If a parent has been absent from your life, it is perfectly acceptable not to include them in the invitation.
Remembering Deceased Parents
To honor a parent who has passed away, you might say, "son of Mr. Smith and the late Mrs. Smith." If both parents are deceased, you could write, "son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
In the event of a recent passing, consider adding a separate note to inform your guests and avoid any awkward situations.
Ultimately, if you're faced with a challenging situation, choose what feels right for you. Sometimes, tweaking the wording to achieve the right balance can take a few drafts.
When you're happy with the phrasing, read it aloud to see how it sounds to others. This can often help you make your final decision.
