| Ok...so my parents (bride's) aren't really paying for much of the wedding, and they are divorced. My father is remarried, and step mother played part in raising me, so I feel she should be listed with my father, mother never remarried (but she's paying the greater proportion of what my folks are contributing). Groom's parents are paying for most of the wedding, and I feel like they should have invitation superiority on the invitation...but I don't know how to word this without it seeming like a crazy/tackyinvitation.I can't just say "together with parents/families" because the groom's family is insisting that names be present on the invitation. Otherwise I would have printed it out that way (it was my first choice). |

| You can word invitations several different ways depending on who is paying for the wedding, etc. Here are a few sites that you can look at that will give you some good information about how to word your invites! I hope that it helps. Good luck :)http://www.invitationconsultants.com/sw-...http://www.custompaper.com/selections.ht...http://weddings.about.com/cs/invitations...http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/http://www.formal-invitations.com/invita... |

| Just say Together with their familiesBride's NameandGroom's Namerequest the honor of your presence as they exchange vows...etc etc.EDIT:It's going to look ridiculously crazy if you print the names of your parents, step mother, and the grooms parents. The only way to word it would be to say Brides Mother and Mr and Mrs Brides Father along with Mr and Mrs Grooms Parents request the honor of your presence at the wedding of their Children, Brides Name, and Grooms Name. It's going to look very busy. |

| It doesn't matter who is paying for what for the wedding; parents are listed simply out of respect, and to show the relationship with the couple getting married. So, for example -Mary Brenda,daughter of John (Lisa) Smith and Brenda Smith,andWilliam Mark,son of Mark and Susan Jonesrequest the honour of your presence....('Lisa' is the first name of your stepmom) |

| My husbands family is very split up. Both of his parents have been divorced numerous times and remarried, and we didn't want to put a million names on the invitation. We did Together with their families, then our names, request the honor of your presence...etc on ours. It was the best wording we could find, and it made everyone happy. |
