Invite wording alternatives

Could you just leave the top blank and start with your names? Or you could re order the invite and put "you are cordially invited to the wedding celebration of your names" (or something similar)?

I like the "cordially invited" idea. I would just have to delete the line under our names.

FH and I are planning ours entirely on our own. My parents are paying for food and his are paying for the alcohol (and possibly flowers?). FH and I are both adults (late 20's) and are hosting with a little help from our parents. FH and I will have double what our parents put in combined when all is said and done. Our invites say "Together with Mr. and Mrs. (my parents) and Mr. and Mrs. (his parents) Sarah and Nick request the honor...."
I felt like them helping a little deserved some recognition even though FH and I are doing all of the work and paying for the bulk of it. Also, its nice for your guests to know who your parents are

ETA: you could also just say "(brides name) and (grooms name) request the honor of your presence at their marriage..."

Duplicate post

HIS parents won't be on the invite at all, but I'm okay with my parents being on it. But would it be weird if the invite said "Together with her parents"?

Wouldn't be weird... traditionally, invites only had the name of the bride's parents because they were the ones that hosted. It would go like this...

Mr. and Mrs. (your parents)

request the honor of your presence

at the marriage of the their daughter

your first and middle names)

to

(FH's full name)

Saturday...

Location

Etc

ETA funky spacing...

I think "together with her parents" sounds fine to me. I don't know your whole situation so it may not be an issue, but this may hurt his parents' feelings.

Yeah...not hurting their feelings isn't my biggest priority. His mom isn't even invited.

I just wanted to say I love your invites

FEAR THE SPEAR!

And I like the idea of just getting rid of the top line all together and just starting with your names.

I think "together with her parents" sounds weird. It's very exclusionary, even though you don't care about that. As a guest I would think you were being harsh toward his parents by deliberately excluding them.

I think it's better to leave the top blank and lead with your names.

I agree Emily...I think it sounds weird and almost "petty" too...which is why I really don't want to go that way...even if I don't really care.

Thanks.

FutureMrsDelpra: perfect, right? He loves them, which is a bonus. He hasn't really liked anything till I found these.

I altered mine as our parents, although contributing in some ways (my mom paid half my dress, picks up little things like ribbon, helps with all the DIY) we are paying for our own wedding. I took out the together with our parents and used a simple we, although there was a verse at the top it's kinda like this

We

K and K

Invite you to celebrate our union

Ours just says:

Barbara MN LN and Adam MN LN cordially request the pleasure of your company at their wedding.

No mention of family at all.

I have an informal wedding so I just had my name then fh name, under that was invite you for when they say I do then the normal address stuff and what not.

To be honest, you can write whatever you want on your invitation. As someone mentioned above, as long as you aren't hurting the feelings of your parents, then it shouldn't be an issue.

We put: "The pleasure of your company is requested at the marriage of ..."

I wouldnt bring my parents into the invite at all if you are debating. We used:

FHs first name

And

My first name

Are Overjoyed to invite you to their las vegas wedding.

Obviously overjoyed And The type/feel of wedding can easily be changed.
