Thanks for sharing. We haven’t even started on our invitations yet but I can tell you that they have been stressing me out. My parents are paying for almost everything and really aren’t carzy about FH’s parents so they would like to be on the invitation with my name and FH’s. I know FH’s parents will not be thrilled about that but it just comes down to making yourself happy (and in my case my parents too). No one will ever be completely happy with your wedding besides you and FH (hopefully).

Thanks for sharing that. It’s a good tip for anyone faced with wanting to include multiple names.

I agree that when it comes to many factors of a wedding, it all depends on who is paying. That being said, whoever is paying should be willing to let you have a major say in what is and isn’t going to happen with regards to your wedding. My parents paid for a majority of my wedding, so when it came to the invite I wanted them to be on it. However, my parents include my mom, stepdad, and dad. We also paid for some of it, his parents chipped in and both of our sisters contributed. Once we had all the names on the invite we didn’t have any more room for the other details, so instead we just started the invite with, “Along with their families…” It was really nice and beautiful and then in our programs we made sure to give a huge thanks to our families and named names at that point in time.
