I don't think there's a compromise here. You either put parents names or not. However, you can put them afterwards if you would like.
"love lasts a lifetime and that lifetime begins today when we, <your names>, join in marriage together with our parents <their names>"
You could write together with their parents if you want to compromise. But, since you and your FI are hosting it, I don't really think that should be on there because it implies they helped pay for the wedding,
i agree that if you are paying for it, you aren't obligated to put parent names on the invite. maybe you could compromise with "together with our families, miss pomeranian and mr. pomeranian invite you...."
He's all about tradition with this wedding, except for this. And I'm all about tradition with only this! This is gonna be a tough one!
Our invites is going to say something along the lines of with their families. Instead of saying parents or naming people. I say you should do something like this or rock paper scissors over it. Or we have said I will give you this one thing if I get 100% control over this other issue. Good luck!
we used "together with our parents" even though it's our 2 sets of parents who paid for the wedding. none of the parent cared about how it's traditionally done, and we chose it this way so that it'd be less wordy on our invitation.
Well, I printed out each different saying, with all our parents names. In everyway I could think of, and with all of your suggestions. He agreed its way to wordy. Since my parents have different last names, and I have to add 'the late Pom dad'. So we settled for 'together with our parents'. When in doubt, prove him wrong! Lol thanks for your suggestions ladies!
@TingTing: i'm hoping our parents feel the same way as i really prefer "together with our families" myself
@Miss Pomeranian: glad to hear he came around!
I like the idea of saying along with thier families, don't list the names (cuts down on the too many words) but can impy that whoever you consider to be "family" is included...
Since you are paying for it, I would put,
love lasts a lifetime and that lifetime begins today when we, (your names), join in marriage together with our families....
They can be listed in the program.

I'm working on our invitation wording and picked the quote 'love lasts a lifetime and that lifetime begins today when we' followed by our names. FI wants his parents names. I know traditionally its the brides parents names, who usually host the wedding. Well, its my FI and I hosting. I don't want his parents names or my parents names. We've come to a complete halt over this. I hate the way it looks with all those names. Plus my mom is remarried and my dad is deceased. Its just too wordy! How do we resolve this hive?
