Wording for wedding invitations?

What suggestions do you have for keeping wording on wedding invitations to a minimal? Do you have to include parent's names?

You don't have to include your parents' names, but if they are paying for some or most of the wedding then it is nice to put their names on there out of respect. An alternative would be to say "Together with their parents" at the beginning of the invitation, which cuts down wording.

There are some ideas on my blog under the "Tools & Resources" page if you'd like to take a look :)

Hi!

How you word your main invite will depend on who is hosting the wedding. If it’s mainly the ones getting married, then something like “together with their family and friends” is ok. But if your parents are mainly hosting (or paying for) it then, then you should include them at the start. I have a sample of this in my website for the semi-custom invites. You’ll find it as you check-out the 4pc suite. There’s an option for wordings there. Do check it out to get an idea.
