What is the proper way of wording for your invitation when you paying for the wedding without hurting anyone's feelings?

I was going to write it 'Together with their parent's....' but FH thought it sounded like our parents were paying for it.

TIA

That's how I felt, but actually was going to use 'Together with our family', but FH had to give me a hard time.

OUrs said 'together with their parents' valerie and chris invite you to their wedding..but did not include their names. We didn't want to leave them out altogether. My mom was still offended though.

If I thought more carefully into it, I would have done Valerie...daughter of blah blah and Chris son of blah blah invite you to our wedding. It's more personal to have their names on it somehow i think.

My parents are also divorced and both of them remarried so that would have been a LOT of names. LOL

Re: For those who are paying for most of their wedding

we just used 'together with their parents'

I probably would have used our parents names but it was a pain. My parents are divorced, father is remarried and mother never changed her name..I just thought it was to confusing.
FIL's I think were upset but honestly they are not hosting our wedding so I didnt feel the need to word it like they are

Re: For those who are paying for most of their wedding

my mom is paying for a large portion but we are both from divorced families so we are doing 'together with their families' to save space and we will just by my mom a really nice gift, separate from the 1 she gets at the RD

Re: For those who are paying for most of their wedding

we used our parents names.... i felt it was wrong not to include them... cause i know if they could pay more they would have :)

Re: For those who are paying for most of their wedding

Just did our names, eliminated the parents. It would have been more difficult for me anyway since my parents were divorced and my dad is deceased and I hate his wife and my mom has been remarried for a long time.

we are paying for the wedding with no help.....

we did together with their families......

i didnt feel it was necessary to include their names but i didnt want to not acknowledge them at all - plus i just like the way it sounds....i prefer the word families over parents

I did Together with their families as well because FH's parents are both deceased and mine are divorced and Dad is remarried. Too complicated.
