Resolved Question: Wedding invitation wording…? 6 Mar 2010, 1:27 pm
I’m getting married in May and am having a hard time figuring out what to put on our invitations. Here is our situation:My parents are paying for the vast majority of our wedding, but my finace’s family is paying for some things as well. So, obviously they should be included as well. Here’s where it gets tricky…My parents are still together, so that’s no problem. But, my fiance’s parents are not together anymore. His mother is remarried, and his father just passed away a month ago, leaving behind his step mother. I know for sure I want my parents on there, and feel as though I should include his mom and step mom, but I’m not sure how to do that… any ideas?Also, room at the reception hall we booked is limited, and so I’d like to keep our guest list as tight as possible. We’re not having alcohol (as per wishes of my dad, and since he’s paying…) so I don’t think it would be appropriate to say that it’s an “adult reception”… but I still don’t want friends and family bringing their kids, or guests inviting more than one person as their date. Ideas for that?Thanks!

I am designing my own wedding invitations, and I’m not sure how to word it: we are having a cash bar where our guests will pay for their drinks, with the first round on us. How do I word it nicely? It’s not a formal invitation as we are not formal people, but we’d still like it to sound like a wedding invitation!Thanks

My parents are paying $10,000 of our $26,000 wedding (my fiance and I are paying the remaining $16,000). What is the appropriate wording for the invitation?Going Crazy Bride – since you have no details of my wedding, do you think it’s fair to say we’re not “normal” and anything above $10,000 is extras or my choice? As you’re also a bride, I would think you’d understand the stresses of planning and little details. I didn’t ask for comments on the money so keep it to yourself.

Okay, so we have an interesting situation. My parent’s (the groom) are paying the bulk of the bill however the bride’s parents are contributing as well.
