What should we do regarding the typically placed "grandparent" section as between me and my husband
My father isn't alive, my mother is in a nursing home with dementia
My husband's father and mother aren't alive but my kids call his step mother "Grandma"
My husband's great grandmother is alive B"H but will unlikely travel for the bar mitzvah
Do I still put the grandparents on? Do I put the grandfathers a"h?
Is that still "honored grandparents"? If they aren't alive?
I'm new at this.

I'd just leave that section out.

I’d just leave the section out.
Or you can do honored grandparents and list the names with a”h / z”l for those that have psssd. It doesn’t matter if they don’t come to the Simcha.

We’re choosing to leave it out. The grandparents that are alive k’ah hopefully are feeling respected and included in the simcha but it’s just so imbalanced and we a-don’t want the invitation to look weird and b-don’t want it to be a painful reminder to the side that’s missing everyone.
In general I think it’s not a given to include grandparents on bar mitzvah invitations, it’s much more common on wedding invites and we’ll revisit it when that time comes.
