We are trying to decide how to do the invites..my FH and I wanted to include everyone on the card by saying 'together with our parents' but then we were thinking of doing all the names.
So right now it reads: my name and FH's name together with our parents Ms. _________________ (my mom) Mr. and Mrs. __________ (dad and stepmom) Mr. and Mrs. __________ (FILs)
etc.
Do you think listing all the names is too much (as opposed to just 'together with our parents')? I just did a sample online and it is a LOT of names but really only one line more than doing a set of parents each, ya know?

Re: Invite wording for those w/ divorced parents
Listing the name may be too much...maybe say together with their parents!

That's what I'm thinking too. It may be more PC, too..not that I care so much

Re: Invite wording for those w/ divorced parents
This is good for me too cause I have so many parents to include in my wording. I was planing on saying something like this...
Ms. Anne H and Mr. Ray T announce the marriage of their daugher C to J Parents of Mr. & Mrs. M I am not sure though..I guess I will have to decide soon since I am ordering them soon.

Re: Invite wording for those w/ divorced parents
I prefer 'together with their parents' their names will be listed on the programs.

Re: Invite wording for those w/ divorced parents
If I only announce my parents name, then my parents would be insulted if their spouses are not on the invitation. So that's why I am chosing not to put their names on. I don't need anymore drama. My hair is turning grey now.

Re: Invite wording for those w/ divorced parents
From what I know, it depends on who is paying. We are paying ourselves, so did 'together with our parents'. Supposedly, those paying are supposed to be on the invitation by name.

Re: Invite wording for those w/ divorced parents
See this is my situation, FH's parents are divorced, but only his dad is remarried and mom is single. My parents are still together. We also don't know if or how much his parents plan on contributing to the actual wedding, which could also effect the invitation wording. Man, -IL's can sure make things difficult.

Re: Invite wording for those w/ divorced parents
My father is remarried - my mother has a live-in BF for the past 3 years. I did not include my step-mother on the invite even though they and DH's parents were paying for the wedding. My step-mother wouldn't have allowed it anyway. She said it's my mother's day and she was not there to steal her thunder.

Re: Invite wording for those w/ divorced parents
I want to include everyone's names but just feel like it is this huge list when you see it in print! I wouldn't feel right leaving off my step-mom's name..so it's all or nothing! To complicate things, we are all contributing to the wedding
