Hi, need advice. I really want to put my kids' names on the invitation, ie. like the kids are inviting ppl to the marriage of their parents. but if i do this, should i not put the bride and groom's parents as well?? I'm open to any suggestions, we are paying the wedding ourselves so i know i don't have to put our parents but i kinda wanted to.
So, would it be too much to put the children's names and the parents? did i make this confusing or what?

Dear Wording,
Yes, I think that would be very confusing. Yet, I like your idea of issuing the invitations as if your children are hosting. You may even be able to include your parents if you wrote the invitations in a special way. Let's give this a try and see if you like it:
Mr. and Mrs. Your children (the bride’s oldest son and spouse)
Ms. Your daughter
Mr. Groom’s son
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their parents
Your name
daughter of your parents
and
Mr. Groom
son of your groom's parents
request the honour of your presence
etc.
It is long, so this may or may not work for you. I have not seen an invitation such as this, but... it has all of the elements you want and it is in traditional form.
