When I don't know..
Please let me hear your opinions.Is it right to add, Late Mr. So and so & Mrs. Cordially invites........
I am not sure. It doesn't sound right. It's a happy occasion. Do we have to bring up the sad situation that my daughter's father is no more? It's sad alright.
If I put only the couple's names, Miss abcd and Mr. Efgh cordially invite...
Do they sound like orphans?
I can hear some outside views on this matter.
No jokes please. This is serious.
Thank you!

The thing is there are lots of emotions involved. During the weekend we passed the cemetery while we were going to see the dress designer. Out of no where she said, she hates that area. So, I know she's also missing him and feeling the lacuna. It's not easy. But the show must go on.
At the end of the day, it's not about me or her father. It's her day. A new beginning. A new life. No body can take her father's place. Our love, honour, respect and gratitude will be in our hearts always.
I hope you are good. Didn't know what to say in one of your blogs. Hope the feeling has come to past. Take care.
Main thing is to go with your own feelings. I will be giving the bride away which fills me with great delight
I think I got what you are trying to say. Thank you.
You are brave. I won't be giving her away. I can't handle that.
All my best wishes for you.
Just said hi, I won't jump between you and Sea.
Thank you. I think I know how to go about with this now.
I would say - come along, time........, place........and let's party
It's especially delightful if you can palm off a country bred Ginger daughter!
I recalled this incident when Daughter was pairing off...
I was tempted to hire a gumshoe to keep an eye on her 'til the deal was sealed.
My niece is getting married tomorrow - same fuss.
The wedding ceremony does not interests me at all and am not going to be there. I want to wine and dine and be merry. So, heading straight to the tables and bar, not to church.
Debrett dictates that the dead cannot invite anyone anywhere. So either you go with 'Mrs Usha cordially invites', or reword completely -
'Sally Anne, daughter of Mrs Usha and the late Mr Usha, is marrying Henry, son of Mr and Mrs X, on 25th December at etc etc and you are invited to celebrate the occasion etc
My half-sister never did get divorced and was married for 30 years to the same guy. Oh, she left him after 8 years, but they stayed married until he died and with a huge sigh of relief she became a respectable widow.
Funny old thing living in worlds with net curtains to twitch.
You are cordially invited to the blah blah blah..
or
Your presence is requested at the blah blah
or
If you really want to mention names,
You are cordially invited to the wedding of Baby Usha
Daughter of Usha and the late Mr. Usha
to (son-in-law's name)
blah blah
Why not just "daugher usha" and "hubby to be" invite to their wedding?
It's their wedding so they can send out the invites.
God will take a AWOL, if he had to deal with her.
It's her day, it's what she wants. I am wondering why I gave my consent.
I am a honourable widow too.
To be honest I stayed married because I wanted everything picture perfect for my children. Their graduations, their weddings, with both their parents by their side.
There's a blog deep down about picture perfect reality. It's not easy to put it in words.
I hope I will have time today to sit down with both of them and word this and finalize. I have noted all your suggestions. Thank you.
Its such a happy event you dont want the event to have somber undertones attached to it especially for the Happy Bride on her Beautiful day! Allot can depend on who is hosting the event if its you its more than fine to just include your name . it can even be an uncle or grandparents if need be.. its perfectly fine ! However if the bride wants to acknowledge her dad on the invites in honor of his name its a touching accolade also
It can read for example:
The honor of your presence is requested at
The Marraige of
Kelsey Ann O' Brien
Daughter of Mary O'Brien and the late John O'brien
Just follow your heart either way the event will be Beautiful
Either way is fine :)
Hope this helps
Thank you so very much for the input.
Bella,
Thank you very much for your comment and suggestions too.
Very helpful.
Hi Usha, hope all is going well.
