Wedding Announcement Wording for Divorced Parents

Announce your new marriage to family and friends.

Wedding announcements are used to share the news of your marriage. When your parents are divorced, the right wording can express what is in your heart on that special day without making anyone feeling excluded.

Neither Parent Re-married

If neither parent has been re-married, both names are listed separately. An announcement from the bride's parents uses the following wording:

Mr. Jim Jones and Ms. Susan Jones

Announce the marriage of their daughter

Sally Jones

One Parent has Re-married

If one parent has been re-married, you can include the stepparent in the announcement:

Mr. Jim Jones

and

Mr. and Mrs. William Smith

Announce

The marriage of their daughter

Sally Jones

Both Parents Re-married

When both parents have re-married, it is appropriate to include both stepparents in the announcement:

Mr. and Mrs. Jim Jones

and

Mr. and Mrs. William Smith

Announce the marriage of their daughter

Sally Jones
