Include parents names?

Should I put our parents names on the inviation even if we are paying for the entire thing ourselves? I want to honor them, and don't want hurt feelings if they aren't on the invitation, but everything I've read says the person hosting the wedding (us) is who should be on it. Thanks!

    Paying vs. hosting is different. 

    However, if you want credit that you and FI are paying for the wedding, honestly, I'd leave off your parents names.  However, I'd doublt check to make sure they're not offended by this.  Then can be honored/listed in your program if you're doing one.

    Btw, congrats on funding your own wedding!

    We paid for our own wedding (other than RD, which my in-laws paid for, but that had a separate invitation and they were listed on that) and we did not include our parents' names. However, I would email them a proof or the invitation wording and ask if they approve of it. Our parents did not have any issue with the wording.

    FWIW, our wording was:

    The honour of your presence is requested at the marriage of

    Jane Marie Doe
    and
    John Matthew Smith
