Okay, so a little background. I was raised by my grandparents and they have offered to pay 100% for our wedding. Parents are split and Mom is contributing some, therefore I feel it necessary her name be put on the invitation as well. If I put my mothers name and not my father's I know there will be hurt feelings though my father is not contributing anything but his presence (which is totally fine). FI's parents are paying for entire rehearsal dinner and some of the small wedding details as well...here we are getting ready to do invites and I have about 8 names now that are a must be on the invitations. Does this sound like too much?
Mr. and Mrs. John and Sally Smith
Request the Honour of your presence at the marriage of
their granddaughter
Ms. Mary Lou Smith
daughter of John Brown and Barbara Smith
to
Mr. Benjamin James Johnson
son of Mr. and Mrs. John and Lisa Johnson
on August 4, 2012
blah
blah
blah.
It's really hard trying to put everyone's name on the invite who is contributing to our wedding when I have a big split family and FI's parents are still together and he was raised by them.
What do you gals think?
