My mother past away in a car accident when I was 6. My aunt in her honor is paying for the majority of the wedding. My fiance and I are helping with some. Our parents are not able to help. How do I word the invitations?

    If your aunt is paying for most and essentially hosting, why not list her name on the invitation?

    [QUOTE]Wow, I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, and simultaneously I love your aunt for what she's doing.  I'd list her as a host on the invitation.

    I agree with PPs. You could also say the family of... but that would imply that your family, not just your aunt, is paying for the wedding.

    Sorry for your loss, that's a really sweet thing of your aunt to do.

    I would ask your aunt if she would like to host. It's possible that that's something she'd be more comfortable with you doing, so I'd just let her choose.

    I would ask your aunt since she is paying for most everything if she wants to be considered host of the event and listed in the invite as so.

    Ditto the others about listing her as the host, but ask her first.  Most will know that means she paid, and she might prefer for that to be need-to-know.
