Invitation Wording

I need help on what to say....

I don't want it to begin.........'The parents of...'

My parents are divorced and we paid fo this whole wedding.



Any other suggestions?

i just got a think today from another site heres the info:

When divorced parents host w/spouse
TIP: If the wedding is hosted by the bride's parent(s), the groom's parents are traditionally left off the invite, but we like adding the 'son of' line to acknowledge his parents.

Jeffrey and Mary Katz
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of Mrs. Katz's daughter
Melissa Grace Stone
to
Robert Seth Greene
son of
Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Greene
Saturday, the fifteenth of October
etc.

when divorced parents host jointly

TIP: Stepparents can be included on the same line as their spouses if that's okay with everyone. But don't put divorced parents on the same line in an invite, because it can make their relationship confusing to guests.

Mr. Steven Stone
and
Mrs. Mary Katz
request the honor of your company
at the marriage of their daughter
Melissa Grace Stone
to
Robert Seth Greene
son of
Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Greene
Saturday, the fifteenth of October
etc.
HTH

when the bride and groom host:

TIP: The use of 'request the honor of your presence' is used formally and 'request the pleasure of your company' is more familiar.

TIP: Reception details can go in the lower right or lower left corner of the invitation, or you can enclose separate reception cards. If the reception is in the same place as the ceremony, put 'Reception immediately afterward' on the invite.

Ms. Melissa Grace Stone
and
Mr. Robert Seth Greene
request the pleasure of your company
at their marriage
Saturday, the fifteenth of October
etc.

Reception afterward at
Tappan Hill
81 Highland Avenue
Tarrytown, New York
PS I dont like the 'request the pleasure of your company, i think its not formal enough, I would still use request the honor of your presence

Thank you so much! I need to put more pictures of her.

If you want to include your parents in some way on the invites even though you're paying, you could use -
Together with their parents,
Bride
&
Groom......

This is what we did...
Christina Michelle
daughter of Susan and James XXXX
&
Vincent Anthony
son of Frances and Frank XXXX

request the honor of your........

Well, my parents are divorced and my father is not in my life at all.


I think the wording would be odd.



Thanks
