I've seen the programs which is nice. My brother and SIL had a memory bouqet made that sat on the table with the sign-in book. They attached pictures of our grandparents to the ribbon and then our parents took it home. It was a nice suttle way to remember them.
in my bouquet i had mini picture frames with photographs of all the deceased close family members.. to get the picture tiny i went to walmart and when ordering the photographs i would get it of only their face and with the it i'd also order the index card with mini pictures of all the pictures i ordered and that's how the were so small
you can see them though they're prolly turned around in that pic

What about a simple acknowledgement during the ceremony? I'm planning on recognizing my deceased grandparents with something along the lines of: "On this happy day we must remember our loved ones who are no longer with us, especially [diorable]'s grandparents Leonard, Dorothy, and Robert, and [mr. diorable]'s grandparents..etc"
I have some kinks to work out with the wording, but that's the gist. It'll be read toward the beginning of the ceremony. I don't think it puts a damper on things - wedding vows are pretty solemn when you think about them. And then there's just something poetic and beautiful about recognizing that life has many phases, even on one of the happiest days of your life.
hope this helps in some way!
This is something I have thought a lot about. My father passed away two years ago from cancer and I want to honor him at my wedding. Getting married without him is going to be very difficult. The same is going to be for your FI and his parents. First and foremost, you need to talk to him about it. I've had a few discussions with my Mom. Ultimately, we decided to have subtle reminders of him as to not draw attention. Whatever you do, make sure it is genuine and true to her character. That's the best way to honor her.
We are in the same situation. My mother passed away a few years back and both his parents tragically died 10 years ago. We are going to have a nice saying in the program. We do not want people to focus on any sadness but writing a nice saying for them i think is suitable and not too much and is thoughtful
My FI lost his best friend a few years ago to a car accident. We are lighting a memorial candle at the beggining of the ceremony for him, since he would have been one of his groomsman. Nothing will be said while they are lighting it, just something in the program to give it's significance. One of the groomsman was also close to him so they are lighting the candle together. The officiant of your ceremony can probably give help you on the appropriate way to honor their memory.

My fionce's parents lost their only daughter and his only sibling to a tragic car accident ten years ago. She was 18, he was 16. The school she attends has an art scholarship and an annual art show in her honor each year. I could forgo favors and donate instead (in guests names). I do not want to be a downer but I want to honor her in some way that will not be taken negatively. Should I include her in my wedding program? Did anyone of you bee's do something similar?
