Verse 3

Megan Rose and Nicholas Andrew

Still like the first one the best!

Can you fit the 2nd one?

I would use either #1 or #3, but tweak some of the capitalization and formatting as below. Text in brackets is optional. Personally, I like it when the parents' names are mentioned. Your last name is Avanzato and his is Desetto, right?

see those are the proper ways the verses should be worded but my invite only allows for 12 lines.. so i had to tweak it to fit everything (i hope that made sense)

I like #1 because it puts the emphasis on you and your FH, not your parents.

The others seem to put the focus on your parents and their names.

OK. How about the following? To fit in the space constraints and still contain necessary info about location, date, and time, some of the text about 'sharing in joy,' etc. have to be trimmed.

[Miss/Ms.] Megan Rose Avanzato
and
[Mr.] Nicholas Andrew DeSetto
together with their parents
request the honour of your presence
at their marriage

I like #1, but if you don't include your parents name on the actual invite, you might want to put the full names for you and your FI.

thats what i was thinking

Is this better?

Because you have shared in their lives
With your friendship and love
Megan Rose Avanzato
And
Nicholas Andrew DeSetto
Together with their parents
Invite you to share in the joy
When they exchange their marriage vows

I think it's best if your names are on different lines, so I picked number 1.

And I 100% agree that your last names should be on there too!
