My grandparents raised me from birth. They are not financially stable enough to help pay for my wedding, however they have supported me my entire life. I have a good relationship with my mother and step-dad, also not financially stable. My father, who was not actually involved til my late teens is going to help pay. My fiancee parents are going to help pay. My and I fiancee are going to pay for everything else. My question is, how should we word the invitation? I was thinking about not listing anyone's names and just giving our names then...."along with their families request the honour of your presence" What do you think?
Ps I'm so glad that I found this site. It's been very helpful! Keep up the great work!

Dear Kimberly,
I'm glad you found us as well.
As long as it is fine with those financially contributing, it is all right to word your invitation this way. It is much neater than listing everyone's names some times. If they want to be acknowledged as hosts, you would list your father's name first and then your fiance's.
