Hi everyone,
Wedding invitations are next on our to-do list and I'm feeling a little concerned about how to word them. We're basically paying for our wedding ourselves. My mom gave us a generous contribution and my fiancé's parents are hosting our rehearsal dinner, but the bulk of it is on us and we're definitely planning and hosting the wedding ourselves.I've been thinking we'd do "Together with their families, bride & groom..." to acknowledge my mom's and his parents' contributions, but I read something recently that people listed on the invite are essentially being acknowledged as hosts, so now I'm worried that that language will inadvertently designate our parents as hosts, which is not our intent. What do you think, does the host piece of invitations only apply if you're listing people by name, or would "Together with their families" imply that both his parents and mine are hosting the event with us?
