Invitation hosts

How about wording it. 'Together with their families "xxxxx" and "xxxxxx" invite you ............

? x

^^^^ This is what we are going for, we don't have children so not an option. I might find it a bit cringey if we got an invite through from the child, sorry ? xx

Sorry to be harsh but I think it's a bit too 'try-hard' to be cutesy and is more cringe then cute.

Both our parent's have contributed & we sent out with ourselves as the hosts but then our invites were styled like a boarding pass so it worked better than anything else.

We are using

Together with there parents

Xx

And

I think this bests suits us as both sets of parents are contributing to the wedding.

Our parents and my OHs grandparents have contributed so we have gone for:

Together with their families, X & Y invite you to their wedding on DAY at PLACE.

I do find the kid thing a bit cheesey I have to be honest!

Can I suggest you ask them before you decide? When I got married some years ago, my then H2B and I were arranging the whole thing, and wanted to send invitations from us. Turned out that was a MAJOR deal for my Dad (parents also divorced, remarried etc) so we ended up with the invitations going from my parents after all. I'd had no idea it was such a big deal to him - but for some reason it was so it was one of those not worth upsetting him that much so we went with it, even though it wasn't our choice.

Just a thought.

Another vote for 'together with their families' - I think it's what we'll be doing. I'm afraid I'm also another voter against it coming from the child, sorry.

Together with their families / parents or along with their parents ...

I also think the child thing is a bit too ... much.

Together with their families is a nice one. My parents contributed but we paid the bulk, the invites went out from us. I would never have put them on there too if I'm honest.

Personally, it's not my style. Although if my H2B had his own way it would be a picture of the dog with a 'my humans are getting married' type of thing. Again, no.

But if you like it then go for it. To my knowledge, no one has ever been offended by a wedding invitation before. And honestly, before I started planning my own wedding I would never have even noticed the colour of an invitation.

Together with their families is a good option I think.

Sorry, but i dont like the idea of your child inviting. I think it's trying a little too hard imho.

I agree with another poster it would be good to ask them before hand. I personally like the traditions and even though it would be unlikely that my dad would be contributing much or any i would still like it to be addressed from him. Could it be a possibility to say Mr & Mrs (dad and step-mum), Mr & Mrs (mum and stepdad) and Mr & Mrs (OH parents) would like to invite you to the marriage of their children XX and XX? Might be a little long, unusual and not the norm but would be unique to you and your OH. If your parents are around and you get on well with them I think its quite nice. Sometimes when it comes from the couple it reminds me of any old party invitation and agree with others not keen on it coming from the child.

I think I'll go with 'together with their families'

I asked my mum and she said she didn't really expect to be included but it would be nice, I'm not fussed about what my dad thinks, he's not been particuarly helpful up to now. I asked my OH to ask his mum but trying to get him to do something wedding related is like trying to get water from a stone...

Thanks for your opinions guys ?

What about scrapping that part altogether and going with 'you're invited to xx and xx wedding'? It's less formal so depends on your style etc but solves the problem of listing people!
