I know this has been asked before...

but the thread I saved didn't really have a conclusive answer.

I want to order some invitation proofs and got to thinking about the wording...

My parents are paying for the majority of the wedding. My FILs and FH and I will also be contributing, but not nearly as much as my parents.

How do I word the invite?

Mr. and Mrs. My parents and Mr. and Mrs. His parents
request the honour or your...

or

Mr. and Mrs. my parents request the honourof your presence at the marriage of their daughter... to ...son of Mr. and Mrs. his parents?

Is it disrespectful to my parents to include my FIL's names as hosts/ Is it disrespectful to my FIL's to not put down their names?

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

TIA!

hmm im not really sure...in our case all three parties are contributing, but it'll be about equal (i think)... I was going to do...

together with our parents
Mr & Mrs. bride's parents
and
mr & mrs groom's parents

bride
&
groom

request the honour of ur presence....

ETA - I think that if ur FH's parents are contributing, you should have their names on the invite. if your parents are contributing much more, ask for their opinion...

you can always say something like
brides parents request....
bride
&
groom
son of....

Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. I'm really not sure what to do.

I know I am going to put my FILs on the invitation. I just am not sure where they should go.

Here's mine. My parents are paying for the wedding, and FIL's are paying for the RD and HM:

Thanks for the example!

They're beautiful! Do you know the name of that font? It's gorgeous.

My parents are being extremely generous and paying for the bulk of the wedding. FH and I will be taking care of some of the wedding costs and we are hoping that the FILs will contribute a bit. If they do, it will be for some minor costs... so I plan on having

Mr and Mrs. X request the honor of your presence at the wedding of their daughter
xxxxxxx
to
xxxxxx
son of mr. and mrs. yyyyyyy

since my parents are truly paying for the majority and are the hosts of the wedding, they get the top billing. His parents get the sub-line out of respect.
