<content>Q: My fiance's dad and my dad are both paying for our wedding, and we don't know how to do our invitations. His parents are both remarried, while neither of mine are. I think that even though our mothers aren't contributing financially, their names should appear on our invites (although I'm not sure if both fathers will be as generous -- but we'll deal with that next time). <p> <p>A: <p /> <p />Contrary to popular belief, the parents whose names are on the invites are not necessarily paying for the wedding -- they are "hosting" it, which can be a completely honorary duty. For example, a couple who are paying for their own wedding may still want to list both sets of parents on the invitation and give them places of honor at the reception. The invite is the perfect place to honor your moms, even if they are not contributing financially. <br /><p /><br />You can put both of your parents on separate lines on the invitation (since they are no longer married) with your fiance's parents and their spouses on separate lines as couples, like this:<br /><p><br />Mrs. Your Mom<br />and<br />Mr. Your Dad<br />request the honor of your presence<br />at the wedding of their daughter<br />Your Name<br />to<br />Your Fiance<br />son of<br />Mr. and Mrs. Fiance's Mom<br />and<br />Mr. and Mrs. Fiance's Dad<br />at 4 o'clock in the afternoon<br />etc.<br /><p><br />Yes, it may get long, but it's more important to honor your parents than to save space. If you're feeling squeamish, though, another option may be to say something like "together with their parents" instead of naming names -- just make sure everyone involved is okay with that first.</p> </p> </p> </p> </content> mens suites <content>Q:Why does the bride always seem to stand to the groom's left at the altar? I have never seen a wedding where the positions were reversed. I think my "best side" is my left side, and I would rather stand to my groom's right. Is there any reason why this wouldn't be acceptable? <p> <p>A: <p> <p>It is customary for the bride to stand to the left at the altar, though you may not be so keen on the reasons why. The tradition actually stems from the old days of "marriage by capture", when the groom needed to leave his right hand (his fighting hand) -- which he used to hold his sword -- free in the event that he should need to defend his bride from other suitors who may try to wisk her off at the last minute. Pretty dramatic, huh? Today, most couples still choose to stand with the gent on the right -- probably because they haven't really given it much thought. If you would like to mix things up, feel free to stand on whichever side makes you feel most comfortable. One thing to consider -- if you are having a religious ceremony, check with your officiant and make sure that changing your positions at the altar won't go against the beliefs of your church in any way.</p> </p> </p> </p> </content> |
