Ok Question: My parents are paying for the entire Reception (which is more than 1/2 the wedding cost) the other half, FH and I are paying...... We live together, our money is together, btu he makes more money...... Now even though his mom is not chipping in we should still have her in there right?
I just liked one of the girls wording Together with our parents or somethign like that.
Does this reallly make a big big difference????
Any advice?

i kind of want to put just our names since we are paying for everything ourselves......but i like what espo said about its not just one thing - its your whole life that your parents help you and stuff like that......but at the same time i want people to know that FH and I did this wedding ourselves - because we are proud of ourselves for doing it!
well you dont have to put them as the hosts there are different ways to word invitations. There has to be a way where you put yourselves as the hosts but your parents names somewhere

i am the same way...my parents are helping by buying my dress and my sisters (the moh's) dresses and my mom is also doing my whole shower. but yes fh and i are paying for everything ourselves. his parents- zero but i appreciate everything else htey do so i am not oing to sit here and whine and complain. but fh's grandma is actually giving us enough money to pay for our whole HM. so i feel bad not putting her name on the invite haha and fh laughed at me when i said that
but since fh and i are paying for it besides those things i said i do want people to kind of recognize that we are the host but def include both our parents names on it as well since all they have done for us for our whole lives!!!

You can do whatever you want. IMO you should put down FIL's names as son of_______.
I don't know what the heck we're going to do. I want both parents names on our invites as daughter of _______ and son of ______ but not sure what to do since FIL's have a different last name than FH because FMIL remarried.
