[quote=Anonymous]The most traditional form of wedding invitation is for only the bride's parents to be listed.  That is how mine were sent out.  My parents paid about $10K, DH and I paid about $7K, yet we went with the traditional wording.  We did not include ourselves as hosts.

There was no mention of DH's parents on the invitations.  We did, however, acknowledge his mother and my mother in the ceremony, and his father was his best man, so no one had hurt feelings.  In a traditional wedding the groom's family hosts the reharsal dinner the night before, which is exactly what my in-laws did.  They paid for that and sent the invitaitons for that.

I don't understand OP's reaction at all.  If she wanted a traditional wedding, why didn't she plan the rehearsal dinner and take care of that part herself?  Her son and his future in-laws are the ones that ought to be outraged that she insisted on this and then isn't willing to carry her share of the load.  Maybe her son knew this, which is why he intended to elope: to save himself the embarrassment.[/quote]
