Wording wedding invitations can be tricky. Adding divorced and remarried parents to the mix makes it an even more delicate task. Etiquette and respect for your parents dictate that you must find a way to acknowledge all the parents involved while making it known who is hosting (or paying for) for the wedding. If a parent has remarried but that parent is not paying for the wedding, the stepparent does not need to be included on the invitation.
