Could you do something simple like, Together with their families, Bride and Groom invite you to celebrate their wedding... ?
@abbie017: I don't want to do that since it usually implies (or was told) that parents and bride/groom are paying for jointly...but it is a good suggestion
@August252012: Yeah, technically it does if you boil it down that much. My parents are paying 80% of the wedding, we're paying 15%, and FI's famiyl is paying 5%. Basically, our invitiation wording is going to say "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and Mr. and Mrs. John Jones invite you to celebrate.." It technically doesn't mesh with how that breakdown comes, but it was important to FI that his parents be included even though they weren't able to contribute as much as my parents.
But if it matters to the people involved, alas, that won't help.
Mr. Thomas Smith and Ms. Karen Smith, along with Doctors Cheryl and William Brown, invite you to the marriage of their children... ?
@August252012: Sorry I hijacked your board...
Mr. Thomas Smith and Ms. Karen Smith
invite you to the wedding of
Bride
and
Groom,
the son of Doctors William and Cheryl Brown.
That's how you do it if your parents are hosting, not his. Then leaves the FSMIL off. And you could separat his parents names too, if they'd care about being lumped together?
So then would it be....
Mr. Thomas Smith and Ms. Karen Smith
along with
Dr. Cheryl Brown and Dr. William Brown
and if added stepmom....
Mr. Thomas Smith and Ms. Karen Smith
along with
Dr. Cheryl Brown and
Dr. William Brown and Mrs. Terry Green
or would the along with be on the first line with my parents? or would I con't his parents so it would be....
Dr. Cheryl Brown and Dr. William Brown and Mrs. Terry Green
ahhhh confusing :)
@abbie017: So wait do you consider my parents hosting if they are paying 60%...?
@August252012: I would say yes, they are paying more than half.. I don't know, this is so difficult for everyone! haha
Here is what I did:
Elizabeth Jill Johnson
and
Robert Oliver Stone, Jr.
together with their parents
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Frederick Johnson
and
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Oliver Stone
invite you to join them at their wedding

I am starting to think about looking for people to do invites or diy my own. Before I do, I want to have a good idea of how I want my invites worded. Here is the situation on paying...for the most part our parents are paying for the wedding (with minor exceptions including some decorations that I've bought...but I don't count that enough to say together with their parents or whatever). So I was going to list the parents first on our invites.
Anyway. Both of our parents are divorced. My dad is paying for 60% the wedding. My mom is paying for nothing (she can't...she's disabled and has no income other than ss). My fiances mom is paying for 30% of the wedding. My fiances dad is paying for 10% of the wedding. My parents are not remarried. My fiances mom is not remarried. His dad is but his new wife did not take his name. His parents are doctors.
Right now I do not think we are including his stepmom on the form because I was told by MOG that she doesn't want to be included in the invites/programs. (I still have to verify this...it sounds weird to me...I was told she also doesn't want corsage either by her. This conversation was weird anyway...we had it in front of the florist and for some reason my fmil thinks they aren't even married. But that's a whole different post).
Anyway, how would I word the invites? For sake of helping me....use these names when replying (not real names)....Can you show me both the way without stepmom and with stepmom included in the invites? Just need the intro...I plan on using request the pleasure of your company after it.
For brides dad's name: Thomas Smith
MOB: Karen Smith
MOG: Cheryl Brown (doctor)
FOG: William Brown (doctor)
SMOG: Terry Green
Thanks in advance!
