Wedding Forum - What to put on parents place cards...

I am thinking about putting Mother of the bride/Groom and for the bestman and bridesmaid their roles. both mums are called Liz

I'd go with mother/father of the bride/groom.

Or if you're feeling funny "New Mother-in-Law" on both... or "Mum 1" and "Mum 2"...

Really unhelpful, sorry :P I wouldn't go with names, as they're your parents. I'd find it weird writing my parents names, and in my mum and dad's case at least they're only going to be called "Mother/father of the bride" once, and it makes it a bit special :)

I'd do roles too x

We had their names put on, and typical of my mother as we are sat at the table, instead of saying how nice things are she said "why doesn't that say Mum?". I just said "because your name is N***a". Arrghhhh!

I think we'll do their roles, although we may need to check with the caterer as people are picking their food beforehand so might need the real names in brackets to help waiting staff. X

We put names.

we are putting names :)

We are using the role they play just because I don't think I've ever used my parents first name.
