Re: REPOST: INVITE WORDING HELP!!!!

the second one just seems kind of awkward to me. Also, I like how the first one puts your parents on an equal footing. That to me is important, even though my parents are paying, because it truly is his wedding too, which makes it just as important for his family as it is for mine. I know that's not necessarily the tradition, but I don't always agree with tradition anyway.
