Anyone else going a bit less formal with their wedding invite wording? I've been searching high and low for invite wording that doesn't involve parents hosting or co hosting or whatever.
H2B's parents are footing most of the bill and mine are contributing bits here and there. But H2B and I both feel a bit weird having our parents inviting people to our wedding, even if they are paying for most of it. I don't think they'll be offended if we don't include them in the invite but trying to come up with something has been difficult!
At the moment we've got.
------------------------------ We are delighted to invite
Guests
to join us in celebration of our marriage
At time and date At Venue address
RSVP before 28th February (weddings on 30th of March, is an okay date?)
Please visit wedding website address for details on directions, hotels and other useful information
Our names will be on the front of the invite, neither of us really wanted our names in the invite cause it's too formal for our liking. If our names are on the front then people will still know who's wedding it is!
Do you think it's alright like that?
If anyone else has ideas for other informal invite wording feel free to post them!

I think that's fine as it is. I know what you mean about it feeling weird having your parents inviting guests. It's you and h2b who are inviting them so it seems fair to have your names xxx
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return

Have a look at my invites in my photo album, we decided not to go for the parents names :) xXx
i like the wording, you may want to get the rsvp back maybe a week or two earlier than what you put, as you will have lots to do anyway and if you do need to chase any up it will give you more time.

MIL2B didn't seem impressed with our wording idea. But we didn't mention we didn't want standard formal wording. She also seemed to think the RSVP should be much sooner but didn't suggest when.
I have added "reception to follow" to the wording though in case it wasn't obvious the lack of a separate address meant it was in the same place.
