  Mine went back to my parents because they sent out the invites. However, my mom was planning on keeping up with all the numbers, ect and was super organized - so it was fine. She'd call me daily to tell me what cards we got.

  Who is hosting the wedding? If your parents are hosting it traditionally (which oftentimes goes along with them paying for it), it should probably be sent to her house. If you're hosting, your house.

  Having them sent to my parents'. We're splitting the cost, but due to some things that I can't go into without flipping my shiit, they're paying a larger share, and even before certain things, we planned on listing them as the "hosts."Plus, even though I explained it to my mom like that - "You guys are the hosts, so it's only right," it's really because it's one less thing for me to do, eff yeah.

  The real question is, who's going to keep track of responses?  Screw tradition, if you parents aren't terribly organized and won't actually track all those yeses and nos, or might actually lose envelopes altogether, have them sent to you.

  This is a neglected planning bio.

  they're hosting but the RSVPs are coming to me.  We live OOT and I'm too OCD and controlling to have my mom do it (though I'm sure she'd do a better job).  Also I have no job and live in a new city where I don't know anyone so I need something to do.

Screw tradition, if you parents aren't terribly organized and won't actually track all those yeses and nos, or might actually lose envelopes altogether, have them sent to you.I agree, but if the parents are paying and/or hosting they get a say in it, and it seems that their "say" is that mom wants them sent to her, so I was just giving the traditional version.

  Etiquette wise, they go back to the person(s) issuing the invitation.That may not always be the most practical way though.

  My parents are host but they went to my home. We live two hours apart and I'm doing the planning - I wanted them to come to me.

  We are having ours come to our house.  We are trying to pay for as much of the wedding as we can ourselves but my parents said that they will be paying for the dinner costs.   But I'm still having the RSVP's come to my house.   We both get excited to open them together.
