How do you word wedding invitations when the groom's parents are hosting?

When the groom's parents are hosting, the traditional wording is: 'Mr and Mrs [Groom's parents] request the honour of your presence at the marriage of [Bride's full name] to their son [Groom's full name].' This puts the groom's parents as the hosts, which is a classic format. If the bride's parents are not involved or are not hosting, you can simply omit them. Alternatively, you can use a more modern phrasing: 'Together with the family of [Groom's name], [Bride's name] and [Groom's name] invite you to celebrate their wedding.' This keeps the focus on the couple while acknowledging the groom's parents. If the groom's parents are divorced, list them separately as described in the previous answer. You can also include both sets of parents if the bride's parents are contributing in some way, even if the groom's parents are the main hosts. For example: 'Mr and Mrs [Groom's parents], together with Mr and Mrs [Bride's parents], request the pleasure of your company...' The most important thing is that the wording feels right for you and your family. There is no legal requirement about who is named as host, so you can adapt the wording to reflect your situation. If you are unsure, ask your parents or your partner's parents what they would prefer. They may have strong opinions, so it is best to discuss it early.
