Second Marriage Wedding Invitation Wording
The second marriage wedding invitation of a widow or divorcee should be issued in the name of her parents or nearest living relatives. She typically uses her own first name with the surname of the deceased husband or in the case of divorce, her current last name.
Here is the correct form:
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Mrs. Martha Jane Ellis
to
Mr. William Anderson
on Saturday, June the fifth
at six o'clock
St. John's Church
In the case of a woman getting married for the second time who has no relatives suitable for this purpose, she may word her invitations like this:
at the marriage of
Mrs. Martha Jane Ellis
and
Mr. William Anderson
on Saturday, June the fifth
at six o'clock
St. John's Church
Audrina Smith
Nova Billings
Christi Billings
Robert Billings
request the honour of your
presence
at the marriage of their parents
Martha Jane Ellis
and
William James Anderson
on Saturday, the fifth day
of June
Two thousand and nine
at six o'clock in the evening
at St. John's Church
