Wedding invitation parents with different last names.
If one person s parents are hosting it s customary to leave off that person s last name.
If a married couple has different last names you can list either the husband s or the wife s name first based on your preference whomever your closest with or the alphabet.
Traditionally only the parents names appear on the invitation.
Place your mother and her husband if she s remarried first and include your last name.
However if that person has a different last name than their parents include their full name.
A few basic wedding invitation wording tips.
If one set of parents is paying for the majority of the wedding but the other set is still contributing or if the wedding couple simply wants to name the other set on the invitation its easy.
You can put both of your parents on separate lines on the invitation since they are no longer married with your fiance s parents and their spouses on separate lines as couples like this.
However the groom s first middle and last names should be included.
His parents divorced and both remarried and his dad has passed away.
Since the bride s parents first names and last name are mentioned only the bride s first and middle name should appear on the invitation.
But if you would like to include your stepparents it s perfectly acceptable to list them.
You can still name the other set of parents below.
Here it is customary to reserve the top of the invitation for the parents paying for the majority.

Mrs is traditionally used to indicate the couple s married status.
I m about 90 sure we re going to leave all the parents names off of our invitations because of a similar too many names issue.
