REPOST from 06: Help invitation etiquette

Okay so FH & I want to include our parent’s names in the invitation. We are very proud of the fact that we are paying for 100% of our wedding so we don’t want o use the phrase “along with their parents”, so when we met with a vendor she told us that you should not separate the Bride & Grooms name except for the “&” or “and” , she said it’s bad etiquette and it does not look good if we put our parents names in between. Tell me what you think, and please be honest if you think it does not look good I won’t be offended.

Any other suggestions are welcomed. TIA


Here is what we are thinking of doing:


Bride's Name
Daughter of MR & Mr.-----
&
Groom's Name
Son of MR. & Mrs ------
Request the honour of your presence at

Date
Location
Etc,….
