Invitation etiquette?

OKay, here is my question-my parents are paying for most of the wedding, FH's mom lives in El Salvador and is not paying for anything. However, I would like to put both of our parent's names on the invitation, I really want to include his family in as much as possible. Is this not the right thing or does it really matter? My parents definitely will not care, but I don't want to do the 'wrong' thing

you can put:
your parents name -
request the honour of presence
at the marriage of their daughter
your name
to
Fi's name
son of and his parents name
date
place
it does not look like they Il's are throwing it then

Thanks

This is exactly what I would suggest. I think it's great that your parents are so understanding.

so did we

I think that is very generous of you! My inlaws aren't paying for anything except the RD and I am not including them on the wedding invitation. I might put my parents request the honor of your presence.....son of and his parents names, but I haven't decided yet. Did that make sense? lol

That is exactly what I plan on doing. I like to honor family as much as possible.
