Current invite text: Silly question: Nick and I both have the same last name as our parents, and I have read that on the invite, the brides name goes first and middle. I don't have a middle name, so I put my last name in - would that sound stupid to you? Nick's last name is on there too - this seems uneccesary, but when I take the last names out, it seems naked.
What did you do?

Re: Invite question: do I put my last name?
I wouldn't put your last name, because it's already stated with your parents.
I would simply put:
Stephen and Kate XXXX Joyfully request your presence and blessings At the marriage of their daughter
Ryanna

Re: Invite question: do I put my last name?
fi doesn't have a middle name, i mean he just uses his mother's maiden name, so we just used both of our first names--- not too crazy about my middle name anyway.

I think you can leave out the last names. I think you should only include the last names if it's different from the parents last name.

Yes, only repeat if different. W are using our first, middle and last but that's because our invite starts with 'Together with their parents'. They are not paying for the wedding per se. Dad gave me a gift of money and FIL's gave us a very generous wedding present by buying all of the materials for our new kitchen.

I would just use your first names. I think the repetition of last names doesn't sound right. JMO

Re: Invite question: do I put my last name?
I went with last names. I hate my middle name and didnt like how the invite looked tlooked with just my first name and middle name. . . so I added my last name cause it took emphasis off my middle name, and I thought it made me look older. . .if that makes any sense. I thought referring to me as my first and middle names made me sound like a little kid who just got in trouble.

Re: Invite question: do I put my last name?
technically (according to the crane's handbook), i read that you include both your last name and FI's --i only included FI's since his parents are divorced...

Kathryn to Patrick A. XXXX

Re: Invite question: do I put my last name?
i think its more classic to leave out your last names; i think i would leave them off in you case since they are the same.

Re: Invite question: do I put my last name?
I would just leave it and not put last names.. Once you see it laid out in your font in a proof you'll be able to tell how it will really look.
