Hi There,

I've recently faced a big family drama from my grooms side, due to his mother being offended with the wording I chose for our invites. The invite states "Mr and Mrs (insert my parents names), request the honor of your presence to the wedding of Bride and Groom son of Mr (insert grooms parents names). Etc etc..

My fiancées mother got highly offended that we chose this format and didn't include them in the headline with my parents. She thinks this was because i was trying to insulate that since my fiancées parents aren't paying that I decided not to include them. This was not my intention but happens to be that it is true, my parents are paying for 95% of the wedding and my fiancée and I are chipping in here and there. Can you please let me know if y'all think this will create more controversy with his side of the family/friends, once they get the invites? Or do ppl not really pay attention to this stuff? I personally never looked at this for other ppls invites. Plz help!

    You are 100% etiquette-wise. This is the traditional wording, that even your FH's parents would have seen when they were first married. Plus, THEY AREN'T PAYING, so why are they upset that people will realize they aren't paying?? lol. They are making a big fuss about nothing.
