Hey all, I have a bit of a dilemma (don't we all) I wanted to word the invitations

Bride's Parents invite you to the wedding of
Bride
to 
Groom
son of Groom's Parents

It's pretty common so I didn't think it would be an issue but FMIL said it seemed like they weren't involved and liked having both parents at the top inviting the guests to the wedding of Bride and Groom. Thing is, for some reason it's really important to me for my name to be next to my parents (my parents are also paying for 90% of the wedding, FH & I and his parents are putting it about the same amount) but it's less about that and more about I just really don't like the way it's split. Is there in existence some sort of combination of these wordings, maybe where it's Bride's Parents/Bride/Groom's Parents/Groom or something?

I'm kind of disappointed this came up, seeing as their on the invitation I thought it wouldn't be an issue where. :( Thanks in advance

    If your parents are the main contributors to the wedding, I think the arrangement you have is fine. It's not an honor to be included on the invitation, so that you are including Fi's parents at all should be enough for them. I think you should leave it as is, and have FI talk to his parents about why.

    Also, you may just have to put "together with their families" if you can't leave "son of " in because I think doing Bride's parents, bride, Groom's parents, groom is not going to work.

    I say keep it how YOU WANT IT or give her the option to have it say "Together with their parents" at the top then neither set of parents is mentioned but they are both at the top ;) (i am guessing she will not like this). I think it would be odd to have both of the parents listed at the top but I guess you could say Mr. and Mrs. BlueBox & Mr. and Mrs. Blank invite you to the marriage of their children.

    You could also show her common ways it is set-up on the invite that way she will get that normally the brides parents are listed first.
