Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Dilemma time...Ok, im getting married June 18 2011, and now is the time to be looking for invitations....weeelll...i also have to deal with the proper wording, and all that. Both of our parents will be helping us with the wedding, and my half is easy since my mother wont be but my dad will...Ross's family however is a bit more complicated. He has his foster/adopted/step (not really sure which) parents who practically raised him and are mom and dad to him, then there's his bio mom (who he met when he was 14) and her husband....i havent really gone into detail with him about what he wants to do, but what is proper? This is my 3rd marriage (please dont ask lol, its a loooooooooooong story) and this time, I'm doing things right. So, what would the proper way to be to word these invitations? I would like to include my parens of course (Mr and Mrs Shawn Morrison) adn his parents (Mr and Mrs Jeff Buffinton) for sure, but im not certain about his bio mom.....

So....after all that lol, what would you say, or suggest or whatever?

    the EASIEST way to go about that is "Together with their families  x and y invite you to be a part of their wedding day" or something like that.

    I agree with PP... that's the easiest way, but if you really want to include their names, I'd go with someone straight forward, like this:

    Mr. and Mrs. Brides Parents
    invite you to the ceremony uniting

    Bride Middlename
    to
    Groom Middlename Lastname

    Son of Mr. and Mrs. Adoptive Parents
    and Mr. and Mrs. Bioligical Momandhusband

    i agree with "Together with their parents".  Mine was way complicated, but not quite that bad.  Both sets of parents are divorced and my dad is helping with a big chunk of the wedding, but we are paying for most of it, and then everyone else is just helping how/when they can.  So we wanted to recognize everyone by having their names on the invites... but it was just too crowded.  We ended up doing "Together with their parents" and will honor them in more detail in the program where there is more room.

    hope that helps!

    I just left our parents' names off of the invite. No one cared.
