Question: Should I include a dead parent on my wedding invitation?
Answer: The invitation should be issued by those who are hosting the wedding. It's better to include a tribute to lost loved ones in a ceremony program, or to remember them with a memorial candle. It is appropriate to mention a deceased parent in a newspaper announcement, i.e. Katherine Marie Jones, the daughter of Casey Jones and the late Elizabeth Jones.
