    Myself, FI, FI's parents, my mother and stepfather, AND my father are all pitching in to get this thing done!

    I saw this on The Knot for when 'everyone is hosting':

    Ms. Heather Marie Smith
    and
    Mr. Michael Francis Jacobson
    together with their parents
    Mr. and Mrs. John L. Smith &
    Mr. and Mrs. Mark Franklin Jacobson
    request the honor of your presence
    at their wedding
    Saturday, the seventeenth of May
    two thousand and eight
    at half past four in the afternoon.

    How do I add my father in that mix of shenanigans?

    N and B,

    together with their parents

    Mr and mrs B, Mr N, and Mr and Mrs N's mom/stepdad

    request the honor of your presence at wedding blah blah blah????

     

    together w their parents Mr N, Mr and Mrs B, and Mr and Mrs Stepfthrs last name?

     

    That so much stuff! Can I just put "together w/ their parents" and leave the names out of it? Obviously, my mom has a different last name than me and my father. ARG.

     

    This is quite rediccculous.

    I've seen it done where they list all the family (like your first example), but I think saying "with their families" covers all bases. My FSIL did that in a similar situation on her groom's side and no one was offended.

    We are using "Together with their parents" because I think writing all the names out can look a little cluttered.
