Etiquette - When Parents are Divorced

A hesitant area many engaged couples come across is how to word their wedding invitations if they have divorced parents in their families. The appropriate way to word the names of the parents of the bride who are divorced is to have the Mother of the Bride on the first line, the Father of the Bride on the second line, and leave out the word “and” in-between the names.

If there is a close relationship between a step parent and you wish to include them, add his or her name along with the parent. Etiquette rules say not to include a step parent, but rules don’t always have to be followed! Especially if it going to damage a relationship. Wedding are to gather loved ones in our lives for a joyful occasion, not to create distress and uneasiness.
