Well, boo.

The Knot's checklist is telling me that I need to get my invitation wording finalized so that I can order (read: start DIYing) them.  I honestly haven't yet given this much thought, but I guess it is about that time.We don't really have a lot of space on the invite, and we both have divorced and remarried parents, so there would be seven names to put on there plus ours.  Should I just go ahead with "together with their parents," or try to get hold of everyone first and make sure no one will get butt-hurt if their full name isn't on there?  I'm trying to stay ahead of things on my DIY projects to retain my sanity.

That's a together with parents situation if I ever heard it :)If anyone feels slighted, you can explain to them that you didn't have much room and they can suck it up. Sometimes, there just isn't room for a family tree on an invitation.

Definitely "together with their parents"! Make up a version with every single name spelled out and carry it for when anyone gives you flack. That should shut them up.

Yup, together with their parents.  Or just leave the parents out altogether

Together with their families.  All the way.My parents are divorced, his are divorced and his father has passed away, and his mom has a longtime live-in boyfriend/stepfather for FI.  No way in hell am I listing everyone's name, even though we can technically just put us because we're footing the bill ourselves.
