Invitation Wording

Kimmy1018

How is everyone wording their invitations for just the bride & groom paying?We would like to include our parents names on the invites still. Any suggestions please. I wanted to do something like :

The honour of your presence is requested 

As God joins together

Bride's name

Daughter of Brides parents

To

Groom's name

Son of Grooms parents

In the Sacrament of Marriage

Since our wedding is being paid for by a bunch of different people, we used the "together with their families" line, simply because listing all the names was taking up too much space.  Writing out all the names was the largest part of the invitation at that point and it wouldn't fit.  

I couldn't find anything on proper etiquette on this, but I think what you've got sounds good.  I know people say it's not necessary to list parents names if they're not hosting, but if you want to do it, I don't think that way will confuse anyone.  

Are you going to be having a full Mass?  If so, you probably would want to include that too.

Thanks so much. Yeah i have been looking all over the web about etiquette and wording too. No were not not having a full mass, just the ceremony.

FWIW, even though we paid for our wedding, we still used the "Bride's parents invite you to this wedding etc etc" wording. If you're not okay with that, I like the "together with their families" wording.

I've also seen:
Bride's parents
And groom's parents
Request your presence at the marriage of their children
Bride
And
Groom
Etc etc.
