XP-Invite wording help!

in September 2012 Weddings
So I am trying to figure out how to word our invitations. I wanted to do something like "the families of" but my mom wants names to be mentioned in the invitation. My mom and my step-dad are helping pay a small with the wedding. My FI's parents are paying for at least half of the wedding. My grandfather has also contributed some and then my FI and I are paying for the rest. I know my grandpa could care less if he is on the invitation but I know my mom cares. Please help because this part is frustrating me. Thanks!!

    I would put-
    your name
    daughter of mom & dad
    marriage to
    FI name
    son of mom & dad

    That covers the bases there.
    As far as grandpa, Is it something you can put in the program instead? (if you're doing one?)  If not, just gift him something to let him know you thank him.

    Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

    One other bit I forgot, I really do not like my step-dad. Him and my mom have been married for 10 years now but we have never been close. I know he wants to help with the wedding but I think thats because he likes my FI and they have tons in common.

    I guess that's a touchy subject.

    Is he helping pay?
    Did he help raise you?  If you're 30, and he married your mom when you were 20, he's your mother's husband, not your stepdad.  But if you're 21 and he's been around since you were 11, then he probably helped raise you and is therefore your stepfather.  That's just my opinion.

    Well I guess it has been 11 years then. They married when I was 16. They have not helped so far but they said they would help with their tax money. It's just such a weird situation and I feel like someone might get mad at me.

    Idk... I have a weird situation, too. Thankfully, the only person seeming to care is my mom. My dad is paying for most things then FI and I for some stuff, FI's parents for rehearsal dinner and my mom bought my dress. We're looking into "The parents of" (in your case families with your grandpa) to keep the peace. I don't like my mom's husband either and would die befor ehis name got put on there. On that note, I'd just tell your mom that's it's not fair to only have her name or a few names and not everyone's BUT to put everyone's on there that is contributing would look utterly ridiculous and doesn't make sense.
