Invitations for parents

wanttogetwed

This may sound like a daft question but I'll ask anyway:p

What are you writing on the invites for your mums/dads/in-laws. Our wording inside reads -

Mr Kevin Lawson
and
Miss Louise McLeod

would like to invite

....................................

Then time and date etc. My mum and dad are divorced and my dad has remarried. Do you write their names. Just writing 'mum' seems a bit strange since she is not my fiance's mum - if you know what I mean. Sorry got my wedding brain on again!

But she will soon be your fiance's mum.

We worded then properly with their title, inital and surname on the envelope.

We didnt have a space for actually adding names on the actual invite itself.

We just had me & him along with our children request the pleasure of your company to celebarte our marriage and the joining of our familes at .................

I'm not sending wedding invites to our parents. They know they're obviously invited anyway, in fact my parents are hosting not us, seems a bit of a waste of money to me.

But if you're wanting to, then the way you've worded it is fine and i think id just put mum.

My mum says that she did not need an invite, but thought she could keep it as a memoir type thing. My sister in law to be is making them and we have plenty materials so thought we would give to parents. Only thing is when it comes to my dad, I always write Dad and Helen on cards etc. Does that sound Ok since my Dad and his wife stumped up for dresses?

To our parents we did actually use full names! My mum wouldn't care either way as long as I gave her a menu But his are soooooo old fashioned (and not in a good way) to the point they put their names as (on the menus there is a space to write your name as you'd like it to appear on the table plan) Mum MrsFA and Dad MrFA, so I had addressed it as Mr and Mrs. (They are going to do my head in, I may need a whole thread about it!!)
