HELP!!! Traditional Catholic Wedding Invitation Wording!

Lyndz468

My fiancé and I are footing the majority of the bill for our upcoming wedding. Both of sets of our parents are contributing in small ways, so we would like to have them included on our invitation as well. Our wedding ceremony is going to be a traditional catholic mass and I would like our invitations to state that. Has anyone done this or know how the invitation should read? Below is the only sample that I have been able to find and I still had to change it around because my parents are not “hosting”.   Together with their parents   Bride’s name   and   Groom’s name   request the honor of your presence at the Nuptial Mass in which they will be united in the sacrament of Holy Matrimony   Saturday, the tenth of April Two Thousand and Ten at 6 o’clock in the evening   Catholic Church City, State     Any/all help would be greatly appreciated!!!

"Together with their parents" is a pretty standard all inclusive and works well in most situations, so that part sounds fine to me.

I think that sample is fine.  We're doing that for our wedding since we're paying for a majority of it ourselves but our families are contributing here and there.

I think that sounds great.  We also had a Catholic ceremony, but no full Mass, and we used almost the exact same wording, minus the Mass part.

I think what you have posted would work just fine.  You are acknowledging both families.

that's fine wording if your parents aren't hosting (i'm of the belief that who pays for the wedding shouldn't be announced by invitation-wording anyway).   your names are the most prominent, not like "daughter of xxxxxx".   i think it's totally appropriate to mention your parents since weddings are a big family celebration.  also, no one is going to focus on the wording of the invitation as much as you are.  most people will skim it, stick it on their fridge, and (hopefully) drop the RSVP card in the mail.  not much more thought will go into it than that.  i think this wording sounds great for what you're wanting.

Personally, I'd leave 'together with their parents' first.  It defers to the parents and leaves the parental units at the top as a sign of respect to them.I'd just say, "request the honour of your presence at the Nuptial Mass uniting them in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony"  There's no need for the 'in which'.

Our situtation is exactly the same as yours. Our invites read Together with their Parents Bride's name and grooms name request the honour of your presence at the nuptial mass uniting them in holy matrimony Date and time blahblahblah
