I'm sure this "question" has been posted a million times but I really need some words of wisdom from someone not invested in my wedding.
My entire life my mother has been the self proclaimed "Queen of Wedding Etiquette". She has always said that she wants the wording on the invitation to be VERY traditional...as in she and my dad are paying for the wedding therefore their names, and not my fiance's parent's names, go on the invite. We just wrote up the invites and showed them to my fiance and his family and the are understandable upset. I am not stuck in this rock and a hard place trying to make everyone happy with no happy solution available. If I put my fiance's parents names on the invite then my mother will be unhappy and if I don't then my fiance will be unhappy. Currently I am getting yelled at from both.
Wording without: Mrs. and Mrs. ______ request the honour of your presence at the Nuptial Mass of their daughter __________ and ___________ ...
Wording with: Mr. and Mrs. ______ request the honour of your presence at the Nuptial Mass of their daughter _____ and ___________ son of Mr. and Mrs. ___________...
Someone please give me some advice on how to handle this.
