    Hi bees!

    My fiance and I are footing the bill for getting hitched, but we want to give a nod to our wonderful parents.  Were using Wedding Paper Divas for the invites (which we Love so Much, but we are a bit limited in the wording layout with what matches the invitation format)

    How does this sound; (and then it will be followed with date/time/loc)

    Together with their parents                                                                   the pleasure of your company is requested                                               To celebrate the marriage of                                                                 Miss Bees Knees and Mr. Bees Knees

    What if you rearrange it a little, something like this -

    Together with their parents

    Miss Bees Knees and

    Mr. Bees Knees

    request the pleasure of your company

    to celebrate their marriage

     

    It's really nice that you want to add your parents to the invitation.

    Stick with the same wording throughout:

    ie.  Together with their parents, Miss Bees Knees and Mr. Bees Knees request the pleasure of your company...

    or

    The pleasure of your company is requested to celebrate the marriage of Miss....

    I worded mine in first person versus third person because we are the ones doing the inviting--- so if you were to do it that way it would be  

    Together with our parents

    Miss Beesknees and Mr Beesknees

    request the pleasure of your company

    to celebrate joining together in marriage...  (or something like that)

    Great tips- the problem I should have mentioned- is the layout.  here's the invite sample from the website- as you see, it looks best with our names highlighted and large in the middle.

    We so love this invite- our baker is incorporating it into the cake decoration- and we're getting married in a 200 yr old spanish house in st. augustine florida- we just want to make this invite work- but not as formal as the sample.

    thank you chicas!

    We had a similar issue - we're paying a majority, but we're getting a little help from each set of parents.  Ours reads:

    My parents

    and

    his parents

    request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their children

    My name

    and

    His name

     

    Good luck!
