Make sure everyone has proof of their ties to Canada.  Driving was probably the least safest route to be honest.  Most people who are denied entry seem to be driving.   I think a copy of the invitation is a good idea.  I also think you should just say you're going for your wedding, after all why else would you be traveling with car load of people, your fiance, and a wedding dress?  

What will my parents need? Proof of house ownership? Will the car rental agreement be sufficient? They are both fully retired.They are both fully retired.  We rented a minivan because our cars aren’t comfortable for 4 people. I hope this goes smoothly.

house ownership helps, bills, etc.. Things that normal people just don't up and leave.  Flying obviously would have been more expensive but likely less hassle.

 Thank you. I will have them get everything in order. The closest airport to where my fiancée lives, where we’re getting married, is two hours. There are no direct flights. It would’ve taken two days each way. My parents were going to fly but it was very difficult to get connecting flights. Pretty crazy.

Ah well when you don't live close to an airport I understand.  I used to have to drive 1.5 hrs to the nearest one in Alberta.  Now it's 45 mins.

Yeah it’s a pain in the rump. I love driving. I drive there several times per year. It’s about 22 hours from Toronto.  The only decent flight we could find were from Buffalo on that defeats the purpose.  😂😂
