Hi everyone! I'm finalizing my invitation... what do you think of the overall wording? Its a traditional conservative ceremony, my parents are hosting.
I'm changing the first names and location, my last name is my sn...
1) Fi & FMIL have the last name as me so notice the wording on that.. is it too confusing??? (technically Fi has a hyphenated name of both of his parents-he is changing it before the wedding- yes they are still married)
2)His parents are most likely not contributing anything (and if they do it will be very little)... should I still include them? I know its "nice" to include them, but does it imply they are contributing?
3) Is there a way to make the first paragraph more "Jewish"? I really like "unite/meet under the chuppah" but can't seem to make that work with bride's parents hosting.
4) My mother would like her name included, but her last name is the same as my father's and they are married (she is having a feminist streak). Is there any way we can do this?
