Re: Invitation Wording when we are paying for the wedding??
You can just put your names on it. you don't have to list the parents anywhere. it can say
Brides Name
&
Grooms Name
Request your presence at their wedding
Something like that

Re: Invitation Wording when we are paying for the wedding??
you can do
Bride and Groom, together with their families...
or Bride, daughter of X, and Groom, son of Y...
or leave off the parents altogether

Our parents did not contribute financially to our wedding, but they, as well as our brothers and sisters, provided us with much support throughout our planning, and throughout our lives. This is why we chose to use "Together with their families" in our wording.

Re: Invitation Wording when we are paying for the wedding??
we paid for our own wedding for the most part, but i still did it the traditional way... Mr. and Mrs. Smith request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter.... blah blah blah.
I am a traditionalist and just like it that way as well as not caring who paid for what. i knew how much my parents would have liked to have paid for my wedding and i know how much the traditional wording meant to them, particularly my father.
i think you can do it any way you want regardless of who is paying.

Re: Invitation Wording when we are paying for the wedding??
Because you have shared in our lives
by your friendship and love,, we
Miss Stephanie ...
and
Mr. Christopher...,
together with our parents,
Mr. and Mrs. ....&
Mr. and Mrs. ....
request the honor of your presence
at our marriage on
Friday, April 3, 2009
at Four o’clock in the afternoon
... Church
..., New York
I felt this way they were still included but our names are first and the phrasing insinuates our invite ... They are helping some which some is great and this is my parents first child's wedding and we thought it would be disrespectful to leave them off

i definitely would no matter what. They are still your parents and they have done enough for us in our lives that they should still be honored even if they didnt do this one thing. Just my opinion but i felt like my parents brought me into this world, raised me, supported me for a very long time so they would go on the invite no matter. I didnt care who paid for what, at the end of the day, they are still our parents and did so much for us and were there for us throughout everything
Infact we put our parents names and then ours even though we paid for most of it. I did it this way
Mr and Mrs. Mario G****
and
Mr and Mrs. Mario E******
cordially invite you to the wedding of their children
Denise and Joseph

Re: Invitation Wording when we are paying for the wedding??
Yea, I don't want to be disrespectful at all to our parents. How do you think I can add... "together with their parents" into this saying (b/c we both really like this one)

Re: Invitation Wording when we are paying for the wedding??
Same here. FH and I are paying for our wedding, but I felt it would be wrong not to include our parents. Here’s how we did it:
My name
and
His name
Together with their parents
My parents names
and
His parents names
Request the honor of your presence
…
This way no one feels left out or insulted.
