I am having a question about how I worded my invitations. My parents voiced early on their excitement at having their names on the invitations. They wanted the traditional "Mr. and Mrs. Smith request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Jane Smith, to John Jones, on such and such a day..."
At first I thought this was no problem, since my parents were the only ones helping to pay for the wedding (about 30%). Since then, we've gotten considerable contributions from members of my finance's family as well. We think now we should go with "Together with their families, Jane Smith and John Jones request the honor of your presence at their wedding."
My parents paid for their own wedding, and still put my maternal grandmother's name on the invitations, since it is traditional for the bride's family to host the wedding. Nowadays its less clear cut.
Is it rude to my parents not to include their names? It just feels like the planning and payment are more of a group effort nowadays, and I don't want to hurt any feelings. What do you guys think?
