[dropcap letter=”Q”] Whew, we’re at the stage of wedding planning when we have to figure out our wedding invitations. My parents are divorced, and my dad is remarried to a woman I’ve grown close to. My mother remains single. My partner’s parents are still together, and her grandmother wants to help out financially. All our parents want to help in some way, even though some are giving more money than others and one is just giving up a lot of her time.
We want to honor them all on our wedding invitation, but that’s a lot of people! Can you help?
[dropcap letter=”A”] Not a problem! You’re lucky to be so loved. I’m assigning you all some pseudonyms for the sake of illustration:
Ms. Susan Delfino and Mr. and Mrs. Christopher M. Tolcher
request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter
Sophia Annabelle Tolcher
to
Jennifer Lyn Garrett,
daughter of Dr. Jada and Mr. William Garrett
granddaughter of Ruby Mae Garrett
Or to go really simple to save room on your invitation for an ornate design, use:
Together with their families
Sophia Annabelle Tolcher
and
Jennifer Lynn Garrett
invite you to celebrate with them
on their wedding day
