Wording for Divorced Hosts
When life rocks, we roll.
Craft your invitation with care. Wording can get a little sticky when trying to convey who is hosting~ when the hosts are divorced. Aside from communicating style and formality, the invite has the huge responsibility of communicating: who{the hosts}, what {wedding of b&g}, when, where, and time. Big responsibility!
Weddings are all about personalization. Below are four examples of invitation wording for four possible scenarios for divorced hosts. Choose wording that best reflects the formality of your wedding and pays the proper respect to the hosts.
When the Bride’s Mother is divorced and hosting:
Mrs. Barbara Johnson
requests the honor of your presence
at the marriage of her daughter
Both sets of divorced Parents AND Bride and Groom are hosting:
Together with their families
Ally Johnson
and
Paul Bernard
Divorced Parents of Bride are hosting:
Mrs. Barbara Johnson
and
Mr. James Johnson
Divorced Parent and Stepparent of Bride are hosting:
Mr. and Mrs. James Korman
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage
of Mrs. Korman’s daughter
Happy Planning!

I just received a wedding invitation from a women whose mother had recently passed away. They simply said, together with their parents, Jill and Joe request your presence at their wedding. I thought that was a great and diplomatic way to include everyone on the invite.
