Answer 4

If you use the "together with their parents" phrase, it sounds like the parents are co-hosting.  Go with something like: Sarah Jones, daughter of John and Margaret Jones, and William Smith, son of James and Carol Smith, invite you to join them in the celebration of their marriage on date at place and time.

Tom and Joy Smith and

Bill and Barb Johnson

Answer 8

Hmm...what about saying something like:

Please join us for the marriage uniting Sarah Smith, daughter of John & Mary Smith, to Will Walker, son of Jack & Joan Walker.

Or I've seen it done this way:

Sarah Smith and Will Walker

along with their parents

John & Mary Smith

and Jack & Joan Walker

invite you to join them as

they unite in holy matriony

Answer 9

Go with the traditional wording, and you will be fine. It doesn't matter who is paying for the wedding!

Lisa Marie,

daughter of William and Barbara Johnson

and

Mark Henry,

son of George and Marie Green,

request the honour of your presence.....
