invitaitons

mrshellem2012

my mother and step father are putting money in on my wedding, the venue and my gown, my fiance and i are paying for the rest of the things, food,rings,invites,photo,music,etc... and my father is going to pay in a small amount (hard times have fallen on him) and i have told my dad that he doesnt need to worry and strtch himself to thin.
 So would it be wrong for me to put my fiance and my name on the invitations only? instead of trying to comprmise with my mother,father and step father? there is a whole story for my feelings on this and i already plan on doing it this way, i am just not sure on the proper wedding etiquette and am not sure if i should be prepared for someone to be offended...

You don't have to have parents' names on the invitation.  Alternatively, you could have it say

Together with their parents
Bride
and
Groom
request the honor of your presence
etc etc.

I like "Together with their parents" or "Together with their families" like the above poster said.   When you get to the point of ordering invitations, you might want to run this by them though.....it seems like some parents who help pay really expect to be named on the invitations.
