OK, so last invitation question....

Sorry I have so many questions about invites today! LOL.

If my parents are helping ALOT (i mean ALOT) with the wedding and FH's parents are helping as well but not as much as my parents, do we add both their names to the invitations or just mine?

Mine are helping with the RH...a lot of it!

FH's with the vendors =)

Thanks girls!

I would definitely put FH's on it too. Even if they're just paying for one vendor, I'd put them on.

My parents are paying for the entire wedding and FH's parents are paying for our HM. We'll definitely be putting BOTH sets on the invite.

You should put both, no matter who is paying more.

When we ordered the invitations, only my parents were contributing but we put both parents on the invitation because I didn't want to offend them. Last week my fiance's parents gave us money so now I'm glad we put them on the invitation as well.

I think it's nice to put both parents any way because a wedding is the union of two families . In times like these, I'm sure parents would love to contribute everything if they could but financial situations can limit people.

my FH parents aren't paying for anything, my parents are paying for everything. the only problem is that my parents are divorced and my dad is remarried, so it would be awk to put 'Ms. ___' and 'Mr & Mrs. ___' so I think i'm just going to use 'Together with their families' or something like that.... what do you ladies think??

I think 'together with their families' is perfect!

All these suggestions are great...thank you!

The only thing is, I spoke with my sister who got married in '06 and was in the same situation as mine. My parents paid for the reception and FH's parents paid for engagement and rehearsal party...I think the DJ too. When my mother found out that she was condisering putting FH's parents on the invite she got VERY upset and mad.

I think I am going to speak with my mom and see how she feels. Otherwise I think its only right to have just my parents on them after doing much thinking.

Thank you!
