I am sending some information to the woman designing our invitations and want some opinions on the wording. I am finding conflicting advice on which of my (divorced parents) to list first. Some sources say you list the mother while other say list the person who is contributing more (which in this case is my father.) Also, FI's parents are also contributing and we don't want to leave them out. Here are two options I have so far. Also, since the ceremony will be outside, weather permitting, where to I indicate to guests the back-up location incase of rain? On one of the inserts?
FYI: Glen & Kathy is my mom and step-dad, Curtis is my dad, and Dennis & Carla are Fi's parents.
