invitation wording

I was just thinking... Would it be proper to say together with their families instead of together with their parents? I mean this is how I feel... I have a mom and a 'step dad' but mom didn't marry him til I was grown. So I don't look at him like my parent. My Dad is gone so yes he does kinda substitute. But he wasn't there my whole life for me to feel like he's my parent. Family means a totally different thing though. I do consider him and his kids and his parents family. He will be getting a bout and they'll be getting grandparent bout and corsage. I just don't want them to feel left out you know...but I won't be having a father daughter dance or anything and moms walking me down the aisle.

Re: invitation wording

  • I have seen "with their families" so yes, if that's what's most appropriate in the situation, I say go for it.

  • I think that is fine.  I would think that would make everyone happy.  We are actually using "Together with their children" instead of parents bc we want to include our kids in every aspect of the wedding and union.  I thing "family" is nice bc it includes a lot of people that will appreciate it.

  • I agree, 'with their families' is the perfect option for you.

    Yes I've seen that option on invitation etiquette websites so I think its fine and sounds good. 
  • My fiance has divorced parents, so I am using "Together with their families" on our invites. If you feel thats what you want to do, then do it! It's perfectly acceptable, but the decision is up to you on how you want it to sound. :)
