How to indicate that divorced father is paying for wedding
My parents are divorced and my father is paying for the wedding. How can we indicate that in the wedding invitations?
The wedding invitation is not the forum for that. Its purpose is to
invite family and friends for a celebration of the giving away of the
bride by the family to her new husband. The center of attention is to
go to the bride and groom.
If you really want your guests to know that
your father is paying for the wedding, he can be mentioned on the
reception cards as hosting the reception. It could read as follows:
“Mr. Stephen Andrew Sampson requests the pleasure of your company at
the marriage reception” followed by the date, time and place. That way
it will be obvious he is paying for it.
