Hi everyone,
I hope y'all had a great Christmas! I am here to receive some input on invitation wording. To start, I have seen a few options such as "With their families..." "The honor of your presence..." listed but I was wondering what the protocol is when one set of parents is hosting the wedding? It has become a sensitive topic for my future in-laws. My Mom is paying for and hosting the wedding (my Dad passed away a few years ago) so I had envisioned it would say something like: [Mother's name] requests the honor of your presence at the marriage of her daughter...followed by our names. My question is whether or not there is any rule on if the groom's parents have to be listed on the invitation. I do feel it is important to have my Mom's name listed. My future MIL has already given me a lot of trouble through the planning process (the typical "It's your wedding, whatever you want" but then getting upset if it is not what she envisioned or had in mind) so I want to honor what we would like without any drama. Thank you all for your input!
