invitation question

do you think it's strange to have it read:

Mr & Mrs My Mom and Dad request the honor of your presence at the marriage and celebration of their daughter

Me
to
FH

son of Mr. Joe Doe and the late Jane Doe

etc..

part of me thinks it's awkward, but part of me thinks it's a nice tribute. i'm going to ask fh and his brother and father what they think before i make any decisions but have any of you ever seen this before?

I think it's a nice tribute too.

Then again - if I received it - it would make me sad.

eta: I've never seen it before but I've only been to 6 or so weddings.

Thats what I'm doing! I think its perfectly fine. My mother is paying for most of the wedding, and FH's arent paying for anything (possibly the rehearsal dinner) So, I thought I was being nice by adding them in like that. It wasn't proper to put Together with their parents. I think its totally up to you and a lot of people do that!

Hahaha! Sorry, I didnt read through the whole thing properly! oops! I got what youre saying!

I have no living mother and father but FH's parents are living and helping us pay for eveything so wanted to honor both families so I put:

Danielle __________
and
Gary ___________

together with their families
invite you to share in the joy and celebration of their marriage.... etc., etc.

Which I did after asking my FMIL and FFIL if they feel confortable with it.

But I do like the way you worded it but shouldn't it be

son of Mr. John Doe and the late Mrs. Jane Doe?

I could be wrong though.

You know my situation....I wrote:

Colleen,

daughter of Mom and the late Dad

honestly, do what you and FH think is right. some people said it might be sad but in all honesty, the sad part is losing a parent, honoring them on an invite is a tribute....i think it's a nice touch, i will always be my father's daughter and damnit, i'm not taking if off the invite! that was my attitude, but honestly, do what you and fh want...don't worry about what others might think.

if his fsather is ok with it then it's perfect. Paul and I wanted to have a memorial and od the same thing in our invite, his mom forbade it .

thanks girls i love the input, but i guess ultimately it up to fh and his brother and dad. i just needed to get some opinions

my thing is that i never met the woman and i feel i that i want to honor her. we're doing a donation in her name as well. i just do not want the guests from my side of the family thinking that his step mom is his mom. i want it out there in the open. i guess fh and i will have a talk tonight

i'm thinking it's going to be a touchy subject especially since FFIL re-married i'm not putting her name on the invite only b/c FBIL will have a canary. and they haven't made a single peep about contributing to the wedding. which is shocking to me but whatever. we're not even having a RD b/c there is no need

---

a canary with feathers? Or a coronary?

i'm confused

Although it does seem a bit weird. I did the same thing for my invitations I felt that I wanted to include both set of parents names.
I put Mrs Jack and Mr Jill XYX etc.

Hopefully people wont freak when they see them lol
