Me and my boyfriend have a 8 month old son, on our invitations would we put:
OUR SONS NAME
Requests the honour of your presence
at the marriage of his parents
MY NAME
&
MY BOYFRIENDS NAME
Does that sound appriopriate??

Its a cute idea, but not really accurate. Those paying for the ceremony/reception are the one's hosting the wedding. What you could say...
Brides name
and
Grooms name
along with son's name
invite you to share their joy
as they join together
to become a family

Any requests for gifts, whether it be from your registry, or cash, should be handled by people close to the couple through word of mouth. It is considered EXTREMELY tacky and downright rude to put any request for any specific gift in the wedding invitation, or any of the enclosures to the invite. The best way to handle this is have your parents, wedding party members, close family answer when they are inevitably asked what you would like that "Sarah and John would really appreciate cash, they are saving for a honeymoon to New York, and aren't really in need of household goods." However, guests are not obliged to give you something just because you asked for it. I would be prepared to not get enough in cash to cover your expenses for your honeymoon.

What about your parents' name and your partner's parents' name. And as a really cute touch put your sons name with that of your parents'.
To be truthful, if you were to put down that your 8 month old son requested the honour of your presence only, it would sound like he is the one who is going to give you away. If that is the case, can he walk yet?

the offical rule is the requestor gives away the bride.
breaking that tradition with your son's name is cute and will be a big hit with most guests, but your more traditional family abd friends may be put off and think you are trying to insult your parents.
so really it depends on the people you're inviting and how traditional minded or open minded they are.
best of luck to you!

It is technically supposed to be who is paying for the wedding. However, that is a ridiculously cute idea and as long as everyone knows who your son is, I think they'll enjoy it.

no this is not appropriate if you wish to include your son then when they pronounce you husband and wife ask to be pronounced as a family but as far as the invitation if you are hosting the wedding yourself just say your name and his name request...

Do what you want, but you are going to have a lot of people (especially older guests) who think it's not appropriate. It's kind of a cutesy idea, but I don't know, odd.

I think that is adorable!! As long as it's ok with whom ever is footing the bill for the wedding I don't see why not.

I think that sounds adorable.
Unless you have a lot of really formal friends and family, I think they would feel the same way.
