REPOST from BHB

How would you word invitation if brides parents are paying for reception, brides attire, hair etc...and prob most of shower

and grooms family is paying for some vendors, florist, band, video, and photo

Would you do

Together with their parents
or

SON of
*** and ***

since I think that breakdown of payment is pretty much the traditional way, I guess the traditional way to word it would do...

I would list the parents as hosts, starting with the brides

whats the traditional way...with brides first... can you give me an example??
I am slow in the am

I like the together with their parents saying. It really makes it sound like a group effort. Tho if they're contributing that much it's nice to put their actual names on the invite, to say

Mr & Mrs Smith would like to invite you to celebrate with them
in the marriage of their daughter ABC
to XYZ,
son of Mr & Mrs Doe

Something like that!

i think it is possible to do
together with their parents
mr and mrs ***
and mr and mrs ****

I like the son of... but fh doesnt

(i know it is early to think about this-sorry)

thank you-
