invitation wording

a&j2012

I was attempting to use the knots wording suggestions, but none applies to our situation.
My FI and I are splitting the wedding cost with my parents.
The scenarios I see are my parents hosting, both parents hosting, couple hosting or everyone hosting. BUT my FIs parents are not contributing. My parents are quite traditional so I want to do the proper wording.

Hi there-
You know what? If I were you I would use the 'together with their families' even though his parents are not paying.

Each of our families are contributing a little.  My parents, his mom and dad (whom are both remarried) and his grandparents.  We are saying "together with their families".  If not to give them proper credit I'd just word it as they are the hosts if you think they'll be offended otherwise.

I would say "together with their families" or have just your parents listed.

We're going with the traditional "bride's parents" hosting wording. I actually wanted "together with their families" but FI wants the traditional wording.

My parents were pretty insisten at the traditional wording, but Shane's parents were hurt when the proof of our invite didn't have their names on it. So, we went with:

Mr. and Mrs. Whitsy's parents

request the honor of your presence at the marriage of

Whitsy and Shane,

son of Shane's parents.

They were both listed, but my parents were more noticeably the hosts.
