29.

If you (the parents of the groom) are tasked with arranging for the invites to be created and sent out, there’s no need to pretend otherwise. Just let them know exactly what’s going on.

Flattery is a wonderful way to endear yourself to your guests and make sure that they are present to share with you in your day of love.
