| My Husband 2 B, parents are married, and will help us(finacially) alot with the wedding ...My parents are divorced and will(can't ) help with anything. So in the invites I know to address Mr.& Mrs. So and So(father of groom. ) would like to invite you to the wedding of (So and so...)But my parents are not helping anything but showing up, and walking down the isle, My Mom will help as much as she can with decor, and settings, But knowing that they arent putting in as Much as a dollar, How Do I make this respectful.As far as putting thier names on there too..This is really something i am not sure how to do... |

| leave them off the formal invite and on the reception card that comes along with the invite, name them on the card like this:"Mr. Dad's name and Mrs. moms name (the "and" shows they are not married and it won't confuse ppl if ur mom still has ur dad's last name.) will be hosting a reception following the ceremony we invite you to join us at (wherever) to celebrate this joyus occasion" |

| You are supposed to write Mr and Mrs (Grooms Parents Names) invite you to the wedding of their son (Grooms name) to (Brides name), daughter of Mr and Mrs (Brides Parents Names). |

| Depending on how uptight your future in laws are, put both sets of parents on there. My fiance's parents aren't donating that much money to the wedding but it doesn't mean that they aren't as happy and supportive as my parents. I put both on but asked my mom first if it would bother them. |

| I would say something like:Together with their parents, Mary and John request the pleasure of your company...Or you could put the name of his parents first and then your parents if they want their actual names on the invitation. |

| You don't have to put parent's names on wedding invitations. You could just put that you and your boyfriend invite so and so to join us....Check out some invitation websites like the one I attached for invitation wording ideas. |
