    My parents are also paying for the wedding and I worded mine:
    “(Dad first name) and (mom first name) (last name) joyfully request the honor of your presence at the wedding of their daughter
    (My First and middle name) to (groom’s full name)”

    Everybody is helping pay for our wedding, including us picking up some of the tab. The wording I like best is "Bride and Groom, together with their families, invite you to join in their wedding celebration..." that way nobody gets left out.

    I don't care for the parent's names being on there. To me, it always sounds like I'm being handed over to my FH - which you know, historically, was accurate, but doesn't really apply here

    Not sure how formal your wedding is, but the wording we have is:

    Together with their families....Bride and Groom joyfully invite you to celebrate their marriage.

    We aren't fans of the traditional wording, and it makes me feel like I'm being sold off lol, so this way was more modern and representative of us. We have different people contributing to our wedding expenses, but we also believe it's a joining of both families, so regardless of whether they're paying or not, we wanted both represented on the invite (without being too wordy)

    Thanks for your help. The bride's parents are hosting it but don't want to use names. I need more research.

    My mom and dad are doing “mr and Mrs ….: invite you to celebrate in the marriage of their daughter (brides name) to (grooms name)” you could do “mr and Mrs ….. invite you to celebrate the marriage of (brides name) to (grooms name)’ I wanted them to put “their daughter” in because personally I liked it
