Latest Lists

Do you list a deceased parent in the order of service as part of the wedding party?

Also, do I list my father's fiance in the wedding party? They are getting married two months after me.

1. deceased parent ..yes. you also might have a vase with flowers to pay respects to the deceased parent the fiance? if she isnt apart of the wedding party..then no. if she is then yes. treat her like you would any other no-family member in this instance
2. Not necessarily. We didn't put the names of our parents in the book at all-just the folks standing up front or doing a reading. Put a vase with a rose in it in the front of the sanctuary, or a pillar candle in a hurricane lamp to symbolize his/her presence. As far as the fiance goes, like I said before, if you aren't putting any of the parental names in it, then you don't have to even worry about her name (Unless, of course, she is doing a reading. Then yes, you'll want her name in there).
3. No, but I have seen a few wedding programs that make a special mention of any deceased loved ones at the bottom of the page. For the wedding party, you should only list the people who are actually in the processional. If your father's fiancee is not one of the people walking down the aisle, she does not need to be mentioned.
