wedding invite wording...

My FI and I are paying for 90% of the entire wedding, with both sets of parents contributing for certain things; plus it's a destination wedding...any ideas on invitation wording?

TIA!!

Re: wedding invite wording...

Well what are your priorities? Do you want everyone to know you both are paying 90%? do you want your parents to 'give you' to each other?

I think this will be best. My mom didn't want to be included on the invitation at all, but I just think it's proper to show that respect. Thanks!

I would put your names, then put together with their parents.

I agree, your names first, then parents names.

Yes, totally agree with the rest.

I have always seen:

Bride and Groom,
Along (or together) with their families...

I just rec'd an invitation that only had the parents names listed on the bottom.
We didn't include our parents names...we are paying for wedding ourselves. My Invite is in my profile if you want to see my wording.
