Invitation Wording

I'm craeting DIY yourself inviations and after printing them all out I think I screwed up

Here is my wording:

Mr. & Mrs. John Doe
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of his daughter

Jane Marie Doe
to
John Michael Doe

son of
Mrs. Jean Doe

*etc*

Here's my problem...Am I not suppose to include my & FH last names because our parents are listed with our last names? Should it just be our first and middle name?

So frustrating and I'm mad that I didn't catch this before I printed 250.

Thank you.

It should be THEIR daughter - not his. That's the only problem I see. I'm not 100% sure of the last name thing though...

I didn't use last names it is unnecessary since the parents last names are shown

we didn't put our last names on it since it is already stated in our invite.

I wouldn't have put the last names, but it's probably not a huge deal. It should also be 'their' daughter.

I don;t think the last name thing is a big deal - it probably shouldn't be there, but it's not huge.

And, regarding the 'his daughter' or 'their' -- maybe she has a stepmom and 'his' is correct??

I think it can go either way to put your last names or not. I probably wouldn't have if both me and FH had the same last name as our parents, but it's still ok! Don't worry!

If the parents last names are on there than you don't need to include it with your names but it isn't that big of a deal. I think it will be fine. I believe you probably put 'his' because your dad is remarried... if not then yes 'his' should be 'their'.

Re: Invitation Wording

Thank you for all your input.

Yes 'his' is correct. I have a stepmother

Thank you.

Most invites dont include the last name. I do NOT think it is a big deal. My bet is it is not something anybody would take notice. I would keep printing if I were you, no worries!
