Re: [aishasotelo] wedding invitations [In reply to]

Traditionally, invitations are sent from the person(s) hosting (paying) the party. I would think in your case, since you are already married, that the invitation would be sent from the married couple and would not list any parents. You would never list a deceased family member on an invitation. Newspaper announcements can list something like, the daughter of the late Mr. A Brown.
