What do you mean by them hosting it? If they're paying for it? You don't need to announce to everyone who paid for the wedding, just where the venue is located, if they need to pay for dinner tickets, how to dress, and the date and time, possibly also expressing the theme.

If that is the agreement that could be better arrangement for the bride- less stress, less worry.

Hmmm ive never heard of this before, usually it would say mr & mrs ****** would like to invite you.....etc but i honestly dont know how it could be worded! What about the proud parents of **** & **** (your names) request the pleasure of ****** & ****** at here son & daughters wedding etc?????

I would just say that Mr. and Mrs. John _______ and Mr. and Mrs. William ________ request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their children, Jane _____ and John _____ on ..... You don't need to specify which part of each pair of parents is hosting. P.S.- Noe, What in the world are dinner tickets, and why would they be necessary at a wedding?!

You do not need to go into such detail for invitations, just where it will be held and the time and date, and if you would like them to RSVP. I would not have them send a reply card, most people forget or do not take the time to send the card back I would put regrets only. Have a wonderful wedding!

People do not need to know this, if both sets of parents are living use the traditional. If the other spouse is not living, it is o.k. to say Mrs. Sara Doe and Mr. and Mrs. John Smith would like to invite, etc. If you do not want that, you coud put James Allan Smith and Patricia Anne Davis would like you to join them, etc. but, again I have never heard of hosting a wedding. Normally they invite as above. and cost is between you four. Good luck.

Mr. [grooms dad's first and last name] and Ms. (or Mrs.) [first and last name] invite you to join in the celebration of marriage of their children [your name] and [his name] I would recommend putting your last names in as well.
