Invitation
Invitation Wording
this is what i wanted originally:



bride And groom

together with our Parents

Invite you to share

the beginning of our new life together

when we exchange marriage vows



ok so i have been having a heck of a time figuring out wording for our invites ... my dad is contributing a large sum and we are paying the rest. here is where it gets complicated. FI parents gave us 20K for a down payment on our house less than a year ago so although they are not paying for the wedding itself they have set us up for a great future. the problem is my mom and dad are divorced and my dad would be pissed if my mom was listed on the invitation equally to him. he did the same thing when i graduated college, said she didnt deserve the recognition since she didn't financially support me through it. basically he is a single dad who wants recognition. so thats why the wording is touchy. and my FI wants his parents recognized so after a ton of searching here is what i found

Mr. (my dad)
invites you to be present for the wedding of his daughter

(me),
also daughter of Ms. (my mom),
to

(FI)
son of Mr. and Mrs. (FI Parents)
divorced dad paying, invitation wording

Hmm...yeah sounds like a touchy subject!!  I know this is what HE wants, but do you feel the same way??  How close are you and your mom??  Do you feel that she should be given more credit (even if she isn't helping as much as him financially) than just adding "also daughter of Ms." kind of like saying "Oh yeah by the way...."??!!  If this is how you want the invitations to be worded as well, then I would say go for it, but if you feel that he is trying to take away any credit that your mom may also deserve then I would try to talk things over with him more.  I found a really good website for invitation wording called www.verseit.com and they seemed to have wording for all different kinds of situations, so maybe they would have one for divorced parents??!!  I'm not sure but you could at least check it out!!
