[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]To a lot of people of my parent's generation - apperanaces do matter[/b]. So this would also cause a big deal in my family. BUT that said, if my parents weren't footing the entire bill, they would understand they will be combined hosts. Talk to whomever you get your invitations from, they know what the correct wording should be. That said - recgonize both sets on the invitation and tell your parents that b/c the in laws and you & DH are also making a large contribution and cannot be omitted. If your parents want to pitch a fit over this, be prepared to trim their random people from the guest list and do it w/o their money. Or tell them if the fund the entire thing, they can be the sole hosts. Don't let them manipulate you on this - this is only the first battle of many you will be fighting over the years. Just wait until you have kids. Do the right thing.[/quote]
Wow -- people really need to grow up -- that is so ridiculous -- and I say this as a person with parents in their late 60's. gifts are not gifts if they come with strings. Last I looked marriage was about coming together in a covenant, not an opportunity to show your friends what you did for your kids.[/quote]
