hi eveyone. i did try searching but couldnt find the answer to what i am after.
my mum and dad are devorced (spelling), my mum is helping us pay but my dad isnt helping at all so was wondering what do i put on the invites?
also, we are not having children at the wedding except family so was wondering how do we word this on the invites along with asking people not no wear purple.
may seem that we are asking a lot from guets but we just want it perfect xx

May be just put the invites from you and h2b. "We are also having a child free wedding so that the grown ups can have a break and let their hair down" "Our colour scheme is purple, so we would also like to request that you try to avoid wearing this colour. "
Now Mrs Cobb!!!!!! :-D

There are a few sites that come up on Google. The common theme for divorced parents is "Mrs.........& Mr............. along with Mr...........& Mrs............. invite you to celebrate in the marriage of their daughter............"
Also, ettiquette (yes, I'm a geek lol) dictates it's very uncouth to state 'no children' on the invites. The correct way to word it is "An adult only ceremony/reception"
hth a bit xxx
It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

thats what someone else said to me becky but last year we went to a wedding reception, when we got the invite it was pink so we knew that was the wedding colour and the ampunt of guests that were wearing pink was unbelievable. you couldnt tell who the bm were and which were the guests and decided i really dont want that at my wedding as purple is such a popular colour
kerrylou i think that is a good way to word it actually, with the adult only bit. didnt really know much about the proper way to word them xx

It's only because I'm a sad freak who has an obsessive compulsion to do things correctly otherwise I wouldn't have known either :D xxx

my mum n dad r divorced to so were having our invites saying from us n i agree with kerrylou, adult only ceremony sounds better. as for the purple cant u make it in2 a poem of some kind like ' as we are having a purple theme, we'd like the bridal party to be seen, please dont be offended if we ask you, please dont wear purple on our special day too' or somethin like that, not that good at poems lol x

i like that mrsclarke2b!! xx
CommentAuthorUnknown
thats a really nice invite lovelylainee!! xx
CommentAuthorMrsE
We put "Together with their parents ... & ... would like to invite ........... to join them on their special day" blah blah blah
If you dont want kids just put the adults names then the kids arent included on the invite and so shouldnt come.
As for the purple...
"purple is our colour scheme.. please avoid so we can beam!!" :)

CommentAuthorUnknown
do you think most people would leave their children then if they werent on the invite then?
h2b parents are both dead so having something similar to you isnt an option but that is nice you are including both sets of parents xx
CommentAuthorlovelylainee
I am stating on my invites named guests only when I finally get them made as I am printing myself so that anyone with kids if their children aren't named on the invite then they should understand that their children aren't invited xxx

CommentAuthorMrsE
We've included kids on ours but i asked a few friends who didn't have kids and they said that they had no problems just wording theres as the adults. Sorry to hear about H2b's parents hun :( Maybe YOU and H2b should invite people, explain this to your parents, im sure they would understand and wouldnt want to upset h2b xx

Weve decided to have invites from us, as our parents are divorced and have re married, i was just wondering on the invites do i put my name (and maiden name) & my h2b name would like to invite you.... or do i put Mr & Mrs MAtthews would like to invite. Just asking as by the time we send them out we wont be married yet

i hate how confusing this is all is ... on mine, i also have to explain that there can be ZERO children, to a fmaily where kids are ALWAYS welcome at weddings, and I have to get across that they have to come to a field. In the middle of nowhere. Oh my god, this sisnt going to work!!!! im not getting married, its too hard! [Kidding] <3 x
CommentAuthorkrazykitty
it all soooo confusing!! we thinking invites from us and we not too sure about the kids bit cos h2b didnt want some of his cousins kids to come as they can be unruly but i have 2 of my cousins as bms and i want my other cousin too as it will be unfair the rest kids im not too fussed if they want to bring them great if they dont even better as less money lol but we dont know what to do with redargs to his family kids.
And our colour scheme (so far) is monochrome and blues with silver accents how would i word that so no one would copy colours?? Maybe just say about blue?? As i think bms will be in blue??
i cannot wait to marry my best friend
i love you ry!!!

CommentAuthorKimberlee1
this is the dilemma i have as i know people get an idea of what the theme is by the colours on the invite, but i dont want everyone to be dressed in blue. My bridesmaids will be in blue, someone was saying earlier that maybe right a poem to say that the theme is blue to not for you too. Summin like that.

i know some people will think it is rude to ask guests not to wear purple but i really dont want people to have the same opinion as i did at the wedding last year xx
CommentAuthorpixie.bunny
Mine is dusky pink, but I don't want people to wear pink but my girls.... Talked it over with my Bridesmaids about the invite ... and my chief calmly says 'We just put, if you come in pink you will be annihilated' Was in fits of giggles.... so erm yea ... lokking for a nicer way to state that :P Xx
