One set of parents is footing the bill for the wedding. So how should the invitation be worded? Parsley clears it up - plain and simple.
Dear Parsley, I'm hoping you have a suggestion on how we can word our invitations. My fiancé and I will be paying for the entire wedding as my parents have no interest in helping or hosting. My fiancé's parents, however, have already given us money to help out. We want to include them on the invitation as well ourselves as being hosts. How do we word this? Melody
Dear Melody,
It's so true that weddings seem to bring out the myriad dysfunctions that plague all families. But it sounds as though you're well past that, very good, and onto pragmatic matters. Here is what you do:
Your name and groom's name request the honour of your presence at our marriage on the date of your wedding two thousand and three at the time of your wedding Church name Church address City and state address Mr. and Mrs. Groom's Mother and Father's Name
Have a wonderful wedding!
Your fulltime sage (and part-time therapist), Parsley Adams
