If you are paying for your wedding with little to no help...

but want to honor your parents on your invitation, but show that you & your FH are actually HOSTING the party...how do you word it?

I've been researching...and nothing sounds exactly right.

I don't want to say 'together with their parents'.

I don't want to say' Mr. & Mrs. xyz request the honor ...of their daughter....

I want it to be our names requesting the honor...and to mention both sets of married parents somewhere in the invitation.

Any suggestions?

hmmmm..

how bout something like

John doe and Jane smith request the honor of your presense on blah be de blah blah de de blah

to witness their exchanging of vows (or something like that) under (with the blessing??)the blessing of their parents........Mr & Mrs. Doe and Mr & Mrs Smith

We did:

Together with our parents

Lori Last Name
And
Neil Last Name

Request the honor of your presense
to share in the joy of our marriage
On Sunday the fourth of September
At three o'clock in the afternoon
Chuch Name
City State

we are doing:

Mr. & Mrs. J LAST NAME
and
Mr. & Mrs. R LAST NAME

request the honour of your presence
at that marriage of their children:

Nicole M LAST NAME
and
Robert J LAST NAME


blah blah blah

even though we are paying...we wanted to include their names as courtesy

ETA: ok i didnt cearly read your question right and this isn't what you wanted...sorry

Or at the end you could put

To share with our parents, mr & mrs doe and Mr & mrs smith, the celebration of our marriage

I dunno you gotta play with it i guess.

There are lots of different ways to word an invite for a wedding that the Bride & Groom are *hosting* themselves . . .

Ms X
and
Mr. Y
request the pleasure of your company
at their marriage
at XYZ,
on XYZ
at XXX o'clock


Verse it has cute ones

Miss Jane Doe
Daughter of Mr.s and Mr.s Joseoph Doe

and

Mr. John Smith
Son of Mr and Mrs Danile SMith

request the honor of your presence at such and such blah blach etc

Maxine! You're a genious! LOL

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THIS INFO (favors too!!!)

we did

the honour of your presence is requested at the marriage of

my name (first and middle)
and
fh name (first and middle)

children of

my parents
and
fh parents

blah blah blah......

my sister and my brother in law paid for their entire wedding (they have plenty of money and didn't want help) but still put both their parent's names on the invite.

FH and are getting a little help from our parents, but because his father passed away (20 years ago), we all agreed to keep it simple with 'together with our parents'

this is what we did too and everyone involved seemed to be happy with it. We made our names in a bigger 'swooshier' font so it still was the focal point of the invite
