Invitations for very mixed family!

ocipura

I've read all the etiquette info for invitations, and it's helpful, but I'm still hoping for maybe a few responses from individuals......My mom and dad are divorced and both remarriedHis mom and dad are divorced.. She is married, and he isn't.My mom, his mom, and his dad are all contributing to the wedding, in addition to my fiance and myself... I would really LIKE to put their names on the invitation.Also, I prefer the guests to RSVP online..less paper for me to sort through and I'm on the computer a lot at work and at home... So I was thinking soemthing like this...Miss Michelle Christina Agricola PetAndMr. Antonio Martinez IVtogether with their parentsMr. and Mrs. John WestmorelandMr. and Mrs. Tim McGrathand Mr. Antonio Martinez IIIrequest the honor of your presenceat their marriageSaturday, the seventeenth day of Octobertwo thousand and nineat two o’clock in the afternoon(address)Dessert and dancing to followCrowley Community Center(addres)The favor of a reply is requested before the last day of SeptemberPlease visit www.theknot.com/ourwedding/AntonioMartinez&MichellePetor call (bride phone #)

"together with their families"take all that mess of names out of it

Oy, what a mess.  Ditto MrsB, jsut do "together with our families".  Put their names on the programs.Put the website on the reception card.  Though you probably should do an RSVP card for those that aren't computer savvy.  You could put it there, and request people RSVP online.

Ditto B and Mocha. That's just too many names for one invite. Together with their families will look much better. Also, I would still do paper RSVP cards. Older people won't be used to RSVPing online, a paper RSVP gives people a tangible thing to do and it's really not that much paper. If you do online or phone RSVPs only you should realize you may end up calling a lot of people to see whether or not they are coming.
