My parents have given my fiance and I a generous gift towards our wedding, but we are paying for the rest, which is about the same amount as they gifted to us. My fiance's parents are deceased. How do I word the invitation when my parents are helping but not hosting our wedding? My father is very traditional, and I think he would feel snubbed if he was not mentioned on the invite, but I don't want the impression that my parents are paying for the whole wedding. We are in our 50's, have not lived with our families for over 30 years, so it feels silly for me to say 'Mr. & Mrs. John Smith cordially invite you....
Thank you for any suggestions!
