Just wondering, when listing both parents on the invite - who's parents do you list first?

Re: Invitation Etiquette
i think it is suppossed to go by who is paying...
if your parents are paying, they go first...
if both sets of parents are paying you list them together, like Mr. and Mrs. john Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Steve Doe invite you join in the wedding of their children, Maria and Michael...
we listed my parents first, Mr. and Mrs. John Smith invite you to join in the marriage of their daughter, Rosemare to Peter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Doe...
we listed both irregardless of who was paying just out of respect for both sets of parents

Re: Invitation Etiquette
Rule of thumb is , If the Brides parents pay, they go , FH pay theirs go first, ,, Both are payin then both names,,
But nowadays , not most parents are footing the bill , as in our case, But honestly I just cant not put both sets of parents names,, To me I could care less who pays , if it werent for them to begin with , we wouldnt even exist , so thats the least I can do,,
So both the FH & My parents names are going on the invite, with my parents first,,

you are correct...
Traditionally the bride's parents always went first b/c they were always paying.....nowadays, anything goes. So to answer the ?, who ever is paying goes first, if BOTH, then the bride's and if either set is divorced, list the mom's first.
