more invite wording help

Original post by Espo22

ok this is what i picked, obviously its a sample so not our names...but my question is, is there any way to put the mothers names along with the fathers for each set of parents, and it not to get too cluttered and fit

Mr. and Mrs. Tim Burrough

I think it also depends on who is paying for the wedding. In my daughters case my son in laws parents did everything 50-50 and so they were entitled to be mentioned at the beginning. If not paying or very little help then you could put them at the end with the son of ______.
My daughter's read:

Mr and Mrs Bill ______
and
Mr and Mrs. Joseph ___________
Request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their children

Simone Helaine

and

Anthony Patrick

saturday, the _____________
so on and so forth...........
Hope this helps. There names were much bigger and in a script font while the other writing was smaller and printed all in small capital letters.



they both helped. Yeah thats how i have it now but i wanted to see if there was a right way to put the mothers names too...so instead of mr and mrs tim white it would have the mothers name too not just father

theres 3 sets of parents you wrote son of 'mr and and mrs thomas reynolds' but the sons parents are above...the mr and mrs rick white is one set of parents and mr and mrs tim burrough is another set




oh, I thought maybe parents were divorced........eh

ok



no, thats why its difficult lol..bc putting the mother and father in one sentence with last name doesnt come out great. I mean now we have Mr. and Mrs. Mario ******** but i wanted mr and mrs. mario and jane esposito but doesnt look as great

i totally agree. I still think it's proper but don't think it needs to super formal like emily post style. you said from the beginning that you want your moms on there so i think they should be.
