Hello brides! Being that I'm an "older" bride I have a different situation than most of you lovely younger brides do but I hope you might be able to give me some input to my dilemma. I am a 36 yo with 2 boys from a prior relationship. I really didn't want to do a big to do for my wedding since it is my second time around but my fiance wanted to since it's his first wedding. I also didn't have a "real" wedding my 1st time so I figure it's now or never. My question is concerning the wording on the invitation. Because my FI and I are paying for the wedding and because we're a little older we were thinking our parents names would not be on the invitations. However, FI is now saying his mom will not be happy about that. What should I do? Would you include your parents names if in a similar situation? Thanks for any input!
