Invitation issue

Okay girls, I need your help.  My FI and I had decided to avoid putting our parents' names on our invitations because both sets are divorced and both fathers are remarried.  Neither of us really want to put our step-mothers on and I personally don't want my father on there either.  My FMIL informs us that she'd be really hurt if we didn't put her name on the invitation.  My FI is a huge momma's-boy and wants to please her.  So now he wants to just put our biological parents and leave off the step mothers.  My mother informs me that she doesn't want her name on there with my father and step-mother.I think that it should be all or nothing, but my FI disagrees.  What do you all think?

Re: Invitation issue

  • i have kinda the same situation with the split family so we decided to not ave either parent on the invite... our parent's totally understood when we explained... keep one thing in mind... it is your (and your FI) wedding make the decisions that you want
  • FMIL's name goes at the top of the RD invitation. That's the event SHE HOSTS. She DOES NOT HOST the wedding.
  • Okay, thanks everyone!  I think I'll make a mock up and show him how crazy it'll be with the names & hopefully he'll change his mind.  We're paying for most of the wedding, including the invites as well.  I just want it to be as simple as possible.
