My fiance and I are paying for our entire wedding. Our invitations look as though my parents are issuing the invitation. Should the return address and send-to address on the response be my mother's name or mine?

I would have them come to you if you are the one in charge of the planning.

The address on the rsvp should be yours
Nn the invitation envelope, what about putting the address only?
Edited for clarity

Edited to clarify I would still put my name on it.

I should have clarified: My mother and I live together. Our address is the same. It was only the name I questioned.

If it looks as though your parents are the hosts then I would write your mom's name...since you typically respond to the host.

Could you just have the return address without a name at the top? E.g.,
1 Bridal Way Lovers Lane, NY 12345

Re: QUICK>>>>I need advice
we have a similar situation. I used my address as the return address and my name and address on the response card.
FH doesn't even open the responses because they're addressed to me

Sure, if I didn't live in an apartment building...lol
ETA: I'm just going to have the envelopes printed with my name.

I'd say if you're hosting, it should be addressed to you.

If your invitations read as if your parents are hosting, your parents name should appear on the return address, even if you and your parents live together and you're paying for your own wedding.
If I would be paying for my own wedding, my names would be on the invite, not my parents.

Re: QUICK>>>>I need advice
I think that from an etiquette standpoint, your mom should get the RSVPs. However, I am not doing this. Our parents names will both be on tbe invite, but I really don't want my mom opening the RSVPs from my friends, so they are being sent to me (not at my parents address, I don't live there). I do believe that I am breaking some rule, but OH WELL.

If you are paying, then it should not mention your parents and should be addressed to you.
