    Hi,

     I'm just trying to sort out the wording for our invitations, but I need some help. My fiancee and I are hosting the wedding, but our mothers would like to be named on the invitation. It gets complicated because I feel it would be from to mention them without our fathers who have both passed away, but I can't get the wording right, especially considering my parents were separeated prior to his passing.

     Any ideas?

    This is a website I used. I don't know if they have any examples that apply exactly to your situation, but maybe you can find one and tweak it a little bit.

    I agree with BW4606. If you need extra advice, Wedding Planning for Dummies has an excellent section on how to word invites.

    Have you asked your moms if they want their husbands mentioned?
