MR. JOHN WILLIAM DOE

MRS. ELSIE BLANK HOWLAND

ANNOUNCE THEIR MARRIAGE

One or Both of you have Children

The remarriage of a divorced woman is usually not formal, or in a white gown and veil. It may be held in a chapel, home, or garden, with one attendant (not a child by a former marriage).

Are you getting married… but not for the first time? Does one or both of you have kids? I’ll bet you want to include your children in as many aspects of your wedding as you can… starting with the wedding invitations.

But just how should you word your invitations to include your children without sounding corny?

Here is an idea for an invitation that makes it seem as if the children are “hosting” the wedding. Instead of the parents of the bride and groom at the top of the invitation… the children are named.

The man who makes our mom’s eyes sparkle

is going to share his life with all of us!

Have the two of you been living together for some time… and you have already have children together?

Maybe the baby was a surprise…

Maybe the baby was planned…

Either way… You’re getting Married! You both have been planning and waiting for this date for a long time and you want to reflect that in your wedding invitations.

You just know that all your family and friends will be so happy that you are finally going to “tie the knot”.

If you are planning a small wedding then you will likely want to send out announcements as well.
