Together with their parents..


I felt they eeded some recognition because they are helping us in other ways and paying for small things (stamps, candles for our centerpeices etc)

Yea.. and we all have a good relationship and I felt we owed them for people who we are in a way.

Just cause they arent paying doesnt make them unimportant, ya know.

Re: Girls who payed for the wedding themselves...how are you wording the invites?

We went with invites that are from us. It says : please share in the joy as we.......,

we are paying for the wedding ourselves. We both have divorces parents and it would just get too complicated. Plus not all sets of parents are as involved as others so why should they get the credit???

Re: Girls who payed for the wedding themselves...how are you wording the invites?

we paid for the majority of the wedding but my parents are making the final hall payment and FH's parents gave us alot of cash to help out with stuff. not to mention we come from the old school and to show respect we worded this way...

Mr. and Mrs. Bride's Parents

and

Mr. and Mrs. Groom's Parents

request the honour of your presence as their children

Bride
and
Groom

join their hands and hearts before God and exchange matrimonial vows

friday, the twenty third of June
two thousand and six
at five o'clock in the evening

Re: Girls who payed for the wedding themselves...how are you wording the invites?

I did both. The invite itself says
Bride
and
Groom
invite you blah blah,

the reception card (since the ceremony is at a different location) says:

The Celebration Continues
Please join the new
Mr. and Mrs. P
and their family
for cocktails, dinner and dancing blah blah.

Re: Girls who payed for the wedding themselves...how are you wording the invites?

we are paying most ourselves and only my parents are helping us out. I figured it was too complicated to try to include parents...so we didnt. My mom doesnt know yet and I know she is not going to be happy. Oh well.
