Wording help please

My FH parents are helping us out financially with the wedding. My parents both died years ago so we will be paying for the rest of the wedding ourselves. I would like to somehow include his parents in the invites.

Something like

Together with his parents
Timothy
&
Kelley
etc. etc.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

I know when the bride's parents pay, they use this saying...

Mr and Mrs
Request the honour of your presence
at the wedding of their daughter
Marie
to
Anthony
Son of Mr and Mrs

Maybe you can do something like that.

Thanks.
I feel like it sounds so odd, thats why its hard for me to come up with something.

I agree! I would use this one!

How about :
Mr. & Mrs. David Williams
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their son
Michael John
to
Sarah Katherine Smythe
at St. Mary's Church, Knightsbridge,
on Saturday 11th September
at 2.30 o'clock
and afterwards at
The Savoy Hotel.

You might want to look that up in an actual etiquette book or website. I found my wording in an older issue of Martha Stewart Weddings that covered wording. It's at home,t hough, and I'm at work. However, to me, the issue is who is hosting the wedding? Are his parents hosting, or are you? if you two are, you could do it like we did:

The honor of your presence is requested at the wedding of

You
your FH

the son of Mr and Mrs FH

House of Worship
Date, Time, etc.
reception to follow

----------------------------------------
If they're hosting, you could do it the traditional way, just with you, the bride, second.


Mr and Mrs FH
request your presence at the wedding of their son

FH

to You, the Bride,
house of worship,
Date time,

Thanks everyone!

Are you only 'supposed' to use the words
'request the honor of your presence'
at church ceremonies? We are having our ceremony at the RH.

ok so I am going to fiddle around with some of the ideas I have and then report back to all my 'experts' for more fine tuning.

Thanks guys!!!!

how could i plan my wedding without you all!
