Invitation wording

shannonemcd

I'm working on the wording for this (<- clicky) invitation. Would it look funny to put "together with their parent's request the honor of your presence on their wedding day" under our names? We want to include our parent's in the invite but in a more casual way besides the usual Mr. & Mrs parent's of bride and Mr. Mrs. parent's of groom. Any thoughts/suggestions? Maybe just "with their parent's" instead? Thanks!

OP, if you want to go with your original wording, you would need to correct it to " parents' " with the apostrophe after the s - unless you and FI only have one parent between the two of you.

This is not correct.  Together with their parents (no apostrophe) is correct, because it is all the parents (plural), not possessive (parents').

Thanks Peavy, that's how I submitted it to the invitation seller. Guess I just decided to go apostrophe crazy here.

<div>Sorry, my bad. I just saw the "parent's request" part (and I misread the rest of the sentence) and thought the OP was trying to phrase it as a possessive.</div>
