hi all, just wondered what you would make of this situation. we recently sent out our invites with the traditional wording of "brides parents request the pleasure of the company of... blah blah blah" I chose this wording primarily because my dad has no family except his 2 daughters, ( me and my twin sister,) and I wanted to give him (his name) some recognition as I am the last link to his surname/family. I spoke to my H2b and told him to run this by his parents, (his mum is a bit of a funny one sometimes) because i didn't want them to be offended by the wording or the fact that they were being invited by my parents to their own son's wedding, I just liked the traditional wording because my dad is last in his family. however, he clearly hasn't done this, as this morning h2b informed me his mum had asked whether my parents were paying for the wedding. (I think someone must have said to her that if the brides parents are named as hosts it usually means they are paying) H2b explained the reason above and explained that my parents have given us money towards the wedding as it's not a secret or a competition about how much parents have given. it's just my mum and dad are older and quite traditional and had saved the money for mine and my sisters wedding, but I'm just worried i've offended the in laws now.
I should say in laws have paid for our honeymoon so it's not like they've not given anything they have been really generous, which is why i don't want to offend them...
what do you think?
