Wedding Invitation Wording when Lots of Moms are involved!

by Megan Degnan

I am getting married in July and have a pretty unique situation. I have my dad, my step mom, my biological mom and her girlfriend. My fiance has his dad, his stepmom, his biological mom, and her girlfriend, leaving us with a total of 6 mothers involved.

Both of us are much closer to our dads and step mothers, than biolgoical moms and girlfriends.


On the wedding invitations, what ist he best way to word them and put the names in order, as to not exclude any of the parents involved?

Or, in this instance, would it be more appropriate to do "The parents of__________cordially invite you..." instead of "dad's name, stepmom's name, biological mom's name, cordially invite you..."?

Thanks for the help! We have spent much time debating this and invitiations need to go out soon!!!
