Parents are Doctors
Hi, I certainly hope someone can help me on this question!
Both sets of parents are paying for the reception and the grooms parents are both Doctors. What would the correct wording be on the invitations?
Thank you!

The easiest for the Bride & Groom since both parents are contributing would be to word the invitations as: "Together with our parents". If you start adding both names and throwing the proper titles in there too, it's going to get messy & complicated. The Bride should keep it simple, and with that wording everyone will know that both parents are hosting, along with the Bride and Groom.

I would think the traditional wording would be appropriate (just add Drs. before the groom's parents' names):
John and Mary Smith
and
Drs. Robert and Linda Jones
request the honor of your presence at the marriage or their children
Rebecca Ann
and
John Michael

Thank you for your replies!
Would the correct wording be...
Drs. or Doctors?
and would it be the woman's name or husband's name first after DRs?

I'm not 100% sure about the Drs/Doctors but I would go with Drs personally.
I agree with Heather though, it would be far simpler to use 'together with their parents' if everyone is contributing. I'd consider asking them if they want their business titles used on the invitation.
The bride should be named first on all pieces of wedding stationary, except for the engagement announcement in the paper, which is traditionally announced by the Groom's family.
