Invitation Question

CourtneyNicole&ChristopherPatrick

Did you use your last name on your invitation? ..or are you? Ive read on several other websites that proper ettiquette is to only put your first and middle name.. but I was also planning on putting my last name. DIY invites are a biitch.

on the envelope or the actual invite?I have my First Middle and Last name on the invite and FI's

CourtneyNicole&ChristopherPatrick

On the invitation, sorry.

kissybee

We put our parents' last names, which implied ours.  It went:Mr. and Mrs. Kissybee's parentsand Mr. and Mrs. Misterbee's parentsRequest (blah, blah)marriage ofKissybee and Misterbee

I used both mine and my husband's, since we used "Together with their families".

NicoleSahara

I included my last name, and FI's. I just liked it better that way.

Our invites list my parents as the hosts and since I have the same last name, I didn't put mine on there.  FI's is on the invite, though.

I think it depends on the wording. If you were going to say Mr. and Mrs. Bride's Parents invite you... I would put first and middle names. If you're hosting and aren't mentioning your parents' names I would put first, middle and last. But that's just me.

We're just using First and Middle. Both of our names are hella long if we include my double middle name, and his long last name (and he's a Jr.). On our invite, it just looks better with just F&M. Do a trial with both and see how you like it.

ooh that makes sense--- if it says the parents are hosting. i guess i never thought about that since we are using 'together w/their families' i was kind of worried that maybe that distant uncle wouldn't know who the hell Courtney Nicole...blank.... was. I'm using my last name. lol

I used my full name because our invitations said "together with their families".

Soon-to-be Mrs. Vogt

It depends on the wording. If you say Mr. & Mrs. Courtney request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Courtney Nicole to Christopher Patrick Lastname...that's proper. If you and FI are hosting, or you say together with their families, or even list two sets of parents, you should use your last names.

I had to go back and look at DD's invitations.Both she and her DH and our son and DIL used the "Together with their parents" and then used their first and last names on the invites.I also looked at niece's invites, and the invite of some other children of close friends, and every one of them had bride's and groom's first and last names on them.Then I went and looked at mine from 31 years ago, and it was different then, I guess.  The invitation was issued from my parents and had only my first and middle names, but my DH's first, middle and last name.  Like this:Dr. & Mrs. Granger invite you to the marriage of their daughterHermione BelletoMr. Ron Weasleyson of Mr and Mrs. Arthur Weasley

Well, if you're not sure the distant relatives will know... then I'd be tempted to leave the last name off.  That way you appease your parents by inviting them, but make it nearly impossible for them to attend since they don't know who you are!!!

Thanks ladies, you're all so helpful

CourtneyNicole&ChristopherPatrick

wow kissybee, that's not a bad idea.

FI doesn't have a middle name so we did Alexia Marie to Robert Smith II
