== == General etiquette answer: *It depends on who is paying for the wedding. If the bride's parents are paying, they are the ones doing the inviting. If the bride and groom are paying, their names go on the invitation. If the groom's parents are paying, their names go on the invitation. In a wedding/engagement announcement it is appropriate to use the names of both sets of parents. * If your fiance's parents will be attending the wedding then their names should be on the invitation. If there is a problem in the family and your fiance doesn't want his parents attending then it's just fine putting your parents name only. It usually goes .... Diane and Roy Smith together with Yvonne and Tim Johnson request the honor of your presence at the marriage celebration of their children CATHERINE SMITH AND BRAD JOHNSON Saturday, the ____of ______2006 and 4:30 PM at the (name the church). Reception follows at 6 PM at ______________. NOTE: Give the time of the reception, the place, address and phone # and a small map inside of the invitation helps many guests. If it is an outdoor wedding the above would apply with this change: SATURDAY ________2006 at 4:30 PM FOR AN OUTDOOR CEREMONY AND RECEPTION AT _____________________________________. RECEPTION IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE CEREMONY.
