Including the groom's parents (or acknowledging them) I don't feel is necessarily a matter of making others feel comfortable or not. I agree that in your situation, it sounds like it was a relief to find that suggestion in the Emily Post book. I do find that I receive so many invites where I don't recognize the names or the people in the picture, that both sets of parents' names are helpful in identifying who the bride and groom are. I do agree that it's not required and in fact in formal invitations where the tradition is followed that the bride's family pays for just about everything, it is suggested that the groom's family not be included. I think that's more a matter of personal circumstance than making other's feel comfortable- but of course in your situation, it sounds like it made your man feel better...so I'm glad it was there for you!Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734327847680153065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647053364103621051.post-50425963269132893822012-05-24T12:17:40.817-06:002012-05-24T12:17:40.817-06:00Thanks for writing about this!

I wrote out my wedding invitation according to that book, and my dad learned something new (about not including the groom's parents). More importantly, in our situation the groom's parents were divorced, lived in another country than our wedding, and only his dad and sister attended, so my then fiance didn't want to include his parents' name anyway.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02688719514346028111noreply@blogger.com
