Those who had/have both sets of parents on invite...

If you had or will have both sets of parents' names on your invitation, I'd love to see your wording.

I'm having some difficulty with this and really need a final decision within the next few days.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Those who had/have both sets of parents on invite...

We did:

Mr. & Mrs. (my parents)
invite you with joy to be present
at the ceremony uniting their daughter
(me)
and
(my FH)
son of
Mr. & Mrs. (FH's parents)
on Saturday, the thirtieth of July
Two thousand and five
...

I struggled with this too, because I didn't think FH's parents should be on the invite (they're not helping to pay for the wedding), but I didn't want to seem rude by not mentioning them in some way.

Do you think it matters how we word it if we're paying for the entire wedding but want to include our parents names?? Sorry to intrude on your question.....

My invites read:

together with our parents
(Mr. & Mrs. Brides parents)
and
(Ms. Grooms Mom)

We are paying for the reception ourselves, but our parents are chipping in for some of the vendors, so we didn't want to leave them off of the invite.
