In many cases like these, couples choose to use the simply, all-encompassing wording:
Together with their parents (or families)
Bride
and
Groom
invite you to join. . .

The reason this option is so often used is because when you start entering all of the biological and step parent names so not to offend anyone, it can start to take over the invitation. Typically when this simple “together with their parents” option is used, all of the parents are mentioned by name in a wedding announcement and/or in the wedding ceremony program.

Although you mentioned that the bride and groom wanted specific names on the card, it is important to remember that first and foremost, the day is about the bride and groom, not their parents.

OR do I

Son of Mr. & Mrs. Biological Dad-Name-Only
And
Son of Mr. & Mrs. Step-Dad Name-Only (but then I am excluding the biological mother’s name, which I am not too keen on doing)

OR

Son of Mr. Biological Dad and Mrs. Wife’s Name
And
Son of Mr. Step Dad and Mrs. Biological Mom

I sort of like the last option for the Groom’s parents. Who would go first Biological Mom or Biological Dad? I was thinking since he lives with his biological mother their name should go first. Am I right in thinking that? The groom is concerned about offending either set of parents. In my opinion (which doesn’t really matter), it should be what they- the Bride and Groom want- but they just want to make everyone happy and avoid problems. I want to make them happy; so, I am going to word it the way they want it worded. I will be talking to his mother later this week to see what she wants. I am asking you to let her know I talked to a professional about this and got an opinion on it. I do appreciate your help. Thank you.

Paper weight and density terminology can be very confusing, so you question is well warranted, and a very common one!

In a nutshell, text and cover weight papers are considered two different types of paper, and are measured on two separate, completely unrelated, scales. Text weight papers are thin, light weight pages similar to the pages of a book, or ordinary office paper. Cover weight papers are heavier weight, durable sheets commonly referred to as card stock. Within each scale, the weight of the paper is determined by a number; the higher the number, the heavier the paper.

To answer your question, since text weight paper is thinner and lighter than card stock in general, a 91 lb text weight paper is still lighter weight than a 65 lb cover sheet (card stock). Any of our text weight papers will be lighter than the 65 lb royal blue card stock you purchased.

If you are interested in learning more about how paper weight is determined, please view the following video:

Your questions are welcome, so if you have any more, let us know! I also want to mention that we’d love to see your finished result!

That isn’t a silly question at all, and in fact, it is quite common!

After scoring, fold the card stock on the outside. After scoring, your crease will be on the reverse side of your stock, so simply flip it over, and fold.

Thank you so much! I just love this program and I’m putting mine together now. Thanks again

The fonts used on this program are as follows:

The non-script, all caps text (Claire and Rob, for example) is in Trajan Pro.

The script (date, layer titles, monogram D) are in Edwardian Script.

Unfortunately this item is sold as a kit and comes with the envelopes shown.

You can find the matching response card for the Crimson Botanical Tuxedo kit by clicking the link below. It is a white card with the same felt finish and deckled edge as the invitation:

To answer your final question, our Traditional Wedding Tissue would look nice with this invitation.

Please let me know, thank you.

I am interested in the product, DIY Wedding Invitation Kit Tuxedo -White Crimson Botanical, I would like to ask if I could ask for alternative envelopes other than the ones that are featured? Which response card would you also recommend for this invitation and also, will which tissue might be appropriate if placed together?

Please let me know, thank you.

Sincerely,
Ying

p.s. Best to contact by email.

As a courtesy, you may want to show all four parents the wording that you decide on. In this case, something like the following might make sense:
[bride's mother's first & last name] & [bride's father's first & last name] invite you to share
in the marriage of their daughter
[bride's name]
to
[son's name]
son of [groom's parents names, for example Trudy & David Esquire]

If you’d like to be formal, you can write “half past six in the evening.” If you’d like to be less formal, “6:30 pm” is fine.

The specifications for this printer shows that it will accept paper sizes from 3 x 5 inches up to 8.5 x 14 inches, so you should be able to enter 5.5 x 5.5 in the print driver. Why you are unable to? It’s hard to say without asking HP Customer Support which you may want to do.

It may be that a newer driver is available for your printer which would open up the ability to print this custom size. You should be able to find the latest driver for your printer and operating system through the HP Support & Drivers link provided earlier in this article.

Yes, the same instructions would apply except for these two exceptions:

In Step 1, load the envelope into your printer with the flap side up.
In Step 2, in the Enter Envelope Addresses section, instead of centering the text vertically, you would leave it near the top of your document template.

Since it is your wedding, both your mother and father should understand that you will word the invitation with as much sensitivity as possible, but ultimately the wording will be your decision. You may wish to show them in advance what you intend for the wording so that they’re not surprised. There is no set rule for this type of situation. As both parents are involved in different ways, you may wish to collectively acknowledge them (and your fiance’s parents) by keeping it simple not including their names. For example:
Together with their parents
[Bride] and [Groom]
Invite you to join…

After you’ve downloaded the free Word printing template and begin customizing it for your needs, you will be able to remove the table number line.

Printing on the back side of the place card is possible because you can print each sheet twice. After you’ve printed one page as shown in this tutorial, just reload the page and rotate it 180 degrees before loading it back into your printer and printing again. The will print the name on both sides of each card so that you can fold it in a tent style and have the name show from both sides of the table.

Our 4 Up Place Cards are currently sold in 50 packs yielding 200 cards or 10 packs yielding 40 cards, depending on which style you choose.
