Wedding Invitation Wording If One Set Of Parents Is Hosting

When one set of parents is hosting the wedding, their name and the name of the couple getting married must be mentioned in the invitation. The individual whose parents are hosting the party could be just named when they share the last name with their parents. However, if they have a different last name, their full name must be mentioned.
