That wording wizard is helpful, but...
Here is the situation, ladies:
Our wedding is mostly paid for by us, with some gifts from family and friends to make it complete. Our 'hosts' are actually the parents of my future husband's stepmother.
He has two sets of parents attending (thankfully they all get along well!):
His father and stepmother
and
His mother and stepfather.
My father is deceased. My mother might be attending, though I don't anticipate her contributing much to the wedding.
So far, his mother and stepfather have provided much-needed support, but mostly in therapeutic, not financial, form.
The problem?
How do I word the invitation for our wedding, taking place on his step-grandparents' farm, so that it doesn't exclude any of his parents?
I feel strange putting "to his son, Christopher" when his stepmother is putting forth so much effort into the wedding and reception, plus, it seems rude to write the invitations in such a way that it seems like we've provided everything ourselves. Do I have a better option?
