Wedding information wording doesn’t have to be complicated, even if your family situation seems like it is.

If you feel that you are going to have too many hosts to list, divorced parents who are arguing, or complicated family situations, and you just want to simplify your invitation text, one of our favorite phrases is “Together with their families…” It sums up the hosts without going through a long list of names. And everyone is included! Nobody  has to argue about who got top billing.
