Families in the program?

[calmcollapse]

I asked my FH, but he gave his standard "I dunno" and a shrug, lol. In our program we list our families

A. If you're including some, include all.

B/C. Yeah, I think listing them in a family section (and listing your BIL twice) is a good solution.

D. I would list the wife and son but not the fiancée. I would think your brother's fiancé would understand that since they're not yet married, she's not listed! I know I wouldn't have been offended if that happened to me.

I think it's probably best to just go ahead and list everyone just to play it safe. I was in the same position with the grandmothers and just decided to put his in anyway.

All immediate family members were either in the wedding party or readers, so they were in the program regardless. I don't think I've ever seen one that lists family members other than the parents.

We don't have any living grandparents, so they were not in the program.

Yeah, I looked back in the programs tag to see what they looked like, and none of them mentioned siblings in that section, so I decided to leave it to parents and grandparents. My brother is the kind of guy who probably won't even look at a program, let alone be bothered he isn't in it.

If you're listing your grandparents, I would list his grandparents.

If you're listing your siblings, I would list his siblings.

I wouldn't list siblings' spouses/future spouses.

I'm for not listing/naming anyone at all, except the wedding party and parents (as they are the hosts for the event) When you start listing everyone, someone is bound to be missing, and that upsets them for their entire life.

It is much more pleasant to see a simple verse about family, than it is to forget someone, or spell their name wrong. No one is left out, every one reads the little verse. You don't worry about who to list, who not to list. Happy happy win win.
