Christian names or Mom and Dad?

Mum and Dad! Deffo! They will keep the invite as a keepsake, it is more personal that way.

After being given the idea by another Hitcher we put "Mother & Father of the Bride" and "Mother & Father of the Groom".

We put Mother and Father of the Bride and Mother and Father of the Groom

We were going to put every persons name down on the invites, although I'm quite liking the Mother and Father of the Groom thing now, but OH's dad is no longer with us so do you think MIL2B would be upset if it was just addressed 'mother of the groom'??

i shall be putting 'to the old dot and daddy cool' cos thats what i call them

Hmm, I had been wondering this, but my situation is a little strange.

My Dad is re-married to my Step mum, even though i lived with my dad and step mum since i was 9yrs old, i always called my dad "dad" and step mum by her name "june" so on birthday cards/zmas cards etc i address them as to Dad and June, so would just put this i think?!?! I cant put father of the bride and June and i think Mr & Mrs B**** (surname) as i think this is too formal for them.

Our invitations were ultra-formal as that is what we wanted so for our parents we put their formal names, i.e. "Mr and Mrs J" and "Dr P and Dr D (Mrs P)". We didn't want to put "Mum and Dad" as his parents aren't MY mum and dad and vice-versa, and just personally wanted it all to tie in together. I doubt they will mind!

Because they were from me and the oh i put everyones forenames. This did upset my dad tho to the point he actually asked for another invite with dad on it!!!

Hi

i want to go traditional and have the invite from my parents, so how do i word it for them?? as i know my mother will want an invite? also what about her dad do i put grandad or as they are coming from his daughter!! why is wording soooo difficult!!!!

They can't send an invite to themselves!!! Can't they just keep one as a keepsake, as you would if you were sending them out ie, if they were coming from you and your h2b you wouldn't send one to yourselves for a 'keepsake', you'd surely just keep a blank one?! With regards to your Grandad, if it's coming from your Mum, I would probably put 'Dad', but as you're going along the traditional/formal route, it might be more appropriate to put Mr [surname].

Our invitation says "Nick and Ayesha [but we have put our full names], together with their parents, request the pleasure of the company of..." and we have put our parents' full names on their invitations. As you say, it's just a keepsake, so you can word it how you like really.

On our cards will be mum and dad, only difference is that it will be in different languages.

I'll be going with 'father of the bride' 'best man' etc.

Sarah, you can put to The Father of the Bride and his wife or something like that?

Because we put the parents of ....... request la di da.......

we put "see above" which did make them giggle
