    Everyone is chipping in for the wedding (my parents, his parents, and us) so a lot of names need to go on the invitation... I'm wondering if anyone used different wording than the standard "Mr and Mrs BridesParents and Mr and Mrs GroomsParents request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of Bride and Groom.... etc".  I do still want all of the names on the invite, but was hoping for a nice quote or something for the top?  Suggestions welcome!!

    I didn't really have a quote on my invites, I just put:

    Mr & Mrs. Bridesparents
    Together with Mr. & Mrs. Groomsparents
    Request the honor of your presence
    at the marriage of their children

    Bride Name

    and

    Groom Name

     

    ... etc

    There's a nice one on my invitation designer's website that says:

    Because you have shared in our lives

    through your love and friendship, we: 

    Bride's Name

    and

    Groom's Name

    together with our parents

    (all their names, if you like)

    request the honor of your presence, etc.

    I think quotes and poems aren't appropriate for wedding invitations.  I believe in keeping those formal. Save it for the website or bridal shower invite.

    Hi,
    We just ordered our invites and this is what we used.

    Love is meant to be shared
    with family and friends.

    Together with their parents

    bride lastname
    &
    grooom lastname

    invite you to share
    in their wedding celebration.

    all of us are contributing to this wedding as well, so we did:

     
    together with their parents
     
    myfirst middle lastname
    hisfirst middle lastname 
     
    request the honor of your presence
     
    that way, neither set of parents got huffy over being listed first or second, and as we're contributing the most, we figured our names could be the only names on there. :)

    My parents are doing the wedding, so most of my wording is standard, but I did put a small quote on the top:

    "With Joyful Hearts

    Mr. and Mrs.  .....................blah blah blah

    My Dad is paying for the whole thing (I'm so fortunate), but because all of our parents are divorced and remarried, and it would be quite messy to include them on the invite (for example, my fiance's dad got remarried after we ordered the invites but before we mailed them!), we used this:

     "Together with their families

     Bride

    and

    Groom

    request the pleasure of your company . . . "

    My dad isn't big on showing off, so he didn't care that we didn't advertise to people that he's hosting. Plus, everyone who is coming knows that we're not the kind of people who would be throwing ourselves this big fiesta.
